High bran intake lowers mortality in Type 2... ironic really given the high salt content of this cereal and the carbs...? Personally I no longer eat it... 8)

I have a small bowl of all-bran most mornings, together with seeds and berries. I believe there are many health benefits from eating bran, but above all it helps keep the bowels regular!

Anyone who's on Metformin doesn't need bran to keep their bowels regular. :lol:
