The chickenpox vaccine is a shot that can protect nearly anyone who receives the vaccine from catching chickenpox. It's also called the varicella vaccine, because chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The vaccine is made from a live but weakened, or attenuated, virus. Viruses that have been attenuated are less virulent than viruses that are not.
The term whole grain refers to a variety of grains, including wheat, corn, rice, oats and rye, which are still in their natural form. Whole grains have a bran, germ and endosperm. To be considered a whole grain, the entire grain must still be intact and not just the endosperm, as is the case in refined grains.
It could be argued that the whole grain definition is too broad with regards to health claims, as they are based on observational data, and the main whole grains consumed in this case are wheat, oats and brown rice.Report abuse.f the definition were to be limited to cereals and pseudo-cereals, then at minimum, it should include pulses (beans, chickpeas, lentils, peas) which include significant starch fractions. â The guiding principle behind developing whole-grain definitions should be based on nutritional, not taxonomic, considerations .â.
