The Cookie Thats More Than A Cookie

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the National Cancer Institute and other organizations, a fiber rich diet offers a variety of benefits. Unfortunately, the American Heart Association estimates that the average adult gets just 15 grams of fiber each day, far short of the recommended 28 to 35. With children, the shortfall is just as pronounced. According to an article in Pediatrics Magazine, the typical dietary intake of children falls well below the recommended age plus 5 formula.

Why A High Fiber Cookie?

The Appetizer Diet® incorporates a high fiber cookie for excellent reasons. In addition to the various boosts fiber offers, including proper elimination, bowel cleansing and circulatory benefit, research shows that fiber-rich carbohydrate sources may foster cholesterol within the normal ranges. According to the American Heart Associations Nutrition Committeereported in a statement titled The Heathcare Professionalstudies show that LDL cholesterol was impacted by between 10% and 15% with oat and/or psyllium fiber.*

The same study also points out the importance of fiber to gastrointestinal health*, highlighting the correlation between fiber intake and lower mortality rates from all causes.* This report cites research on the positive interaction of fiber and circulatory issues and of fiber and reduced risk of obesity.*

Fiber also has a tendency to make you feel full and thus control your tendency to overeat.* The study also addresses "high-fiber" food intake on glycemic control in diabetic individuals.*

The benefits of fiber include:

• Better Digestion *
• Bowel Health *
• Weight Management *
• Better Circulation *
• Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Control*

Oats/Oat Bran: Oat bran is the edible, outermost layer of the oat kernel. Oats are both food and herb. Like whole oats,oatbran contains B complex vitamins, protein, fat, minerals and heart healthy soluble fiber.* Both whole oats and oatbran,when eaten regularly, impact circulatory health.*There are studies that show oats/oat bran impact blood sugar health, immune response and athletic performance( studies show that oats/oat bran favorably alter metabolism and enhance per formance when ingested 45 minutes - 1 hour before prolonged endurance exercise( greater than 2 hours)of moderate intensity.* The FDA allows this claim for products containing at least .75grams of oat/oat bran fiber (although they said the amount of fiber needed to impact cholesterol was about 3 grams per day.

The Appetizer Diet® Cookie contains 3.54 grams of whole oats and .82 grams of oat bran**.) The claim:"Soluble fiber from foods such as oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.**
