Stabilize Blood Glucose with Oats
Oats are warm and comforting -- and good for you, too. They've grabbed banner headlines for their heart-healthy goodness, but did you know oats also help stabilize blood glucose?
Look on the Labels
Eating oats and other fiber-rich foods for breakfast appears to help keep blood glucose under control throughout the day.
When shopping for oat products, look for heart-health claims on the label. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration allows oat products containing 3 or more grams of soluble fiber per serving to make one of these two health claims:
- "Soluble fiber from oatmeal, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."
- "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 3 grams of soluble fiber from whole oats per day may reduce the risk of heart disease."

EggBeaters are simply egg whites, good for you. Low in fat and high in protein. I eat an Egg Beater omelet several times a week, including as many vegetables as I can fold in. Mushrooms, tomatoes, green pepper bits. Yum.
