Dietary Dose Conversion of Whole Grains and Non-soy Legumes between Mice and Humans by ZHI Li, ZHU Yiqing, ZHAO Liangxing, CHEN Rui, ZHAO Qingyu, WANG Chao, XUE Yong, SHEN Qun

“…The results indicate that the RDI of 50–150 g of whole grains and non-soy legumes in humans could be equivalently converted into addition of 5%–50% whole grains and beans in the feed of mice with a 3 g daily feed intake. Dietary addition of whole grains and non-soy legumes exceeding 50% might place mice at risk for overconsumption. …”
