Bran or Rice Bran
Is this article about Bran or Rice Bran? This article seemes to get into too much detail about rice bran but ignores most of the other grains. The rice bran specifics should be in an article about rice bran and the general bran info should be in the bran article. Oksadimiks (talk) 16:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

pickling bran?
Any chance someone could elaborate on the use of bran in pickling? Neither the pickling nor the tsukemono articles mention it at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jaddle (talk • contribs) 20:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC).
 * Rice bran was mentioned as nuka in the tsukemono article. I have changed it to "rice bran (nuka)" --163.139.215.193 15:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Proposed move
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Please check the redirects. –Hajor 2 July 2005 05:42 (UTC)

Moving
I propose to move this page to bran and move that page to bran (disambiguation). &mdash; Pekinensis 03:11, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I understand the logic, but can't support primary disambiguation for an article that consists of only 2 sentences.  Figure out how to write a couple paragraphs on dietary bran, and then I'd be willing to take a serious look at whether this usage significantly exceeds the mythological and geographic usages.  Dragons flight 20:57, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)  Support.  Thank you for making the page worthy of this.  Though I did enjoy reading about Bran Castle (sometimes called Dracula's Castle).

 * Better now? &mdash; Pekinensis 19:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with move - the length of the current article doesn't change the status of the incoming links, and shouldn't affect where the article is placed. sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 22:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bran digestion problems
Is anyone aware of any reliable information on problems with ingesting products containing bran? I experience stomach discomfort when eating storebought products with wheat bran, and digestive problems when eating storebought products containing oat bran. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding any info on this due to the massive amount of propaganda in support of bran and whole grain foods as health foods. I've heard that phytic acid may be a culprit, and that foods using sprouted grains may remove the phytic acid and alleviate the problem; I've had a little bit of luck buying sprouted grain bread from health stores, but it's expensive and too different from regular bread for my tastes. Thanks. --HunterZ 20:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Rediculous claim
The last sentence in the article couldn't possibly be true: "The capacity of bran to absorb large volumes of water is exemplified in a well known demonstration in which bran packed into a 1 litre container can be made to absorb 1 litre of water without any spillage." This could only be true of all the molecules that make up the bran are able to pack into the unoccupied space in liquid water. I'm going to have to call bullshit on this. Also, the demonstration is not so well known (insofar as nobody in the biophysics graduate group at UC Berkeley seems to have heard of this...) I'll be removing it since a Google search also doesn't seem to bring anything up; although I'd be more than happy to actually observe the demonstration myself! --chodges 00:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Removal of False Unsourced Claims and Addition of Sourced Facts
I removed the following from the Health Effects section, "This popularity peaked in 1989, but was short-lived[citation needed], as studies in the early 1990s showed that oat bran only modestly reduced cholesterol[citation needed]." And wording that was supported by this false claim. I also added supported and sourced information on the cholesterol lowering benefits of oat bran.

Need mention of how and why bran is removed from grains
I was disappointed to find no mention of methods, reasons for, and history of de-branning, or removal of bran from cereal grains here. --Yumegusa (talk) 08:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Reversion of minor edits to Bran
These minor edits: are impossible to confuse with vandalism nor are they the kind of statements that require references. Next time, User:Piano non troppo, try to make constructive contributions to wikipedia, thank you. 75.15.193.158 (talk) 21:13, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for info on Oat Bran
Oat bran is an important dietary source of soluble fiber. Someone needs to add info on it! DrHenley (talk) 03:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Cool! :) Is it in Connor's Mill? I moved the template to the top of this page; hope that's correct. Sam Wilson 07:55, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Error in title picture
Hi,

The title picture of this article claims that 100g of bran contain 63g of carbs, 16g of proteins, 3g of fat and 43g of fiber. The sum of these constituents is over 100g, so there has to be an error.

I'm rusty and haven't been on Wikipedia for a while. How can we best correct this?

Thanks, Rell Canis (talk) 10:23, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
