------------- FACT
-------------- |
|
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
Association’s Nutrition Committee—reported in a statement
titled “The Heathcare Professional”—studies 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:
|
|
---------------------------------- |
|
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.**
**Taken from "FDA TALK PAPER" T97-5 January 21,1997,
"FDA ALLOWS WHOLE OAT FOODS TO MAKE HEALTH CLAIM ON
REDUCING THE RISK OF HEART
DISEASE"

|
In addition to fiber, the Appetizer Diet®
Cookie provides important nutrients, including
30%-35%(CC) & 40%(OR) of the Daily Value of
Vitamins A,C, D, E,B 1, B 2, B 12, Niacin, B 6,
Biotin, Zinc, Pantothenic Acid and Iron. It also
contains calcium. |

More Goodness Inside the
Cookie
The Appetizer Diet® Chocolate Chip and
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie both include quality protein, too:
soy protein isolate is packed with branched-chain amino
acids and glutamine, which are both invaluable to sports
performance.* Soy protein provides health and immune
enhancing antioxidants due to its amazing isoflavones
and soy impacts heart health.*
Whey protein, another source of protein in both the
Appetizer Diet® Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin
Cookie, is considered excellent for babies, children and
pregnant and nursing women (since it contains the same
components found in mother's milk).* For active teens
and healthy adults, whey proteins are complete and
provide the body with all the essential amino acids.
Athletes appreciate whey protein for its branched-chain
amino acids, which impact the body's ability to repair
and rebuild.*
The Appetizer Diet® Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin
Cookies contain expeller pressed Canola Oil, which is
high in monounsaturated fats, and includes alphalinoleic
acid, a heart-healthy Omega III essential fatty acid.*
The cookie uses a fat source that is low in saturated
fats and avoids hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated
fats.

Naturally Sweet
The Appetizer Diet® Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin
Cookie use organic sugar produced in Brazil from unburned
“green cane” grown by the Green Cane Project, the producers of
the world’s finest organic sugar cane. They take advantage of
the most advanced processing techniques available to produce
completely pure, natural sugar, free from the harmful
chemicals found in some refined sugars, such as phosphoric
acid, sulphur dioxide, preservatives, flocculants,
surfactants, bleaching agents or viscosity modifiers.
This
organic sugar is non-GMO. It retains most of the mineral
content inherent prior to processing, which allows it to be
digested and recognized by the body as a food. Of course,
organic sugar is still sugar and its intake should be
regulated.
Adding to the goodness of the Chocolate Chip Appetizer
Diet® Cookie are lots of dark chocolate chips that offer great
taste and some good nutritional benefits(1). Recent scientific
research has shown chocolate to be relatively high in
antioxidants, which help the body fight free radicals that
damage body tissues.* Dark chocolate has almost twice the
antioxidants of milk chocolate. |
