Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008New breakfast cereal to benefit diabetics
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23772765-5005961,00.html >http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23772765-5005961,00.html You gotta laugh when a scientist who publishes plays coy: "Plant scientist and CSIRO research leader Dr Matthew Morell said the cereal would contain high levels of a special type of starch called resistance starch, which in animal and human trials had been shown to reduce bowel diseases. He said it could be commercially available as a breakfast cereal by early next year. "We expect the barley will be available early next year," Dr Morell told a CSIRO and Australian Science Media Centre background briefing in Brisbane today. "I can't talk about the specific arrangement. The details are confidential but we are working closely with the food industry."" Confidential? I'm no plant scientist, but anyone looking to read more just has to do a quick google scholar search: http://tinyurl.com/5fut45 In any case, I hope my meter shows I can eat it for breakfast; we'll see.

I haven't tried it so can't give an opinion. I will say this about barley though, my wife made a pearl barley dish that also had mushrooms and other stuff in it (I'll post the recipe) and I ate a nice sized portion with a baked chicken breast and green beans and it barely budged my meter at 1 or 2 hours.

If you like porridge with texture, which I do, it is great. > There's already a barley breakfast cereal on the market. I haven't > tried it so can't give an opinion. Do you mean grape-nuts ? I like it. If I have time, I microwave it ~45 sec. with butter and cinnamon, stir, add milk or cream, microwave until just about to boil (hint of foam appears) Sometimes I also stir in peanut butter or finely chopped nuts. But if I don't have time, it's almost as good crunchy.

Haven't tried it since I've been a diabetic because the serving size is soo small. > > There's already a barley breakfast cereal on the market.

If resistant starch is good, ZERO starch is better!

With the exception of one article on Indonesian rice, I haven't seen much on the topic elsewhere. Frank |
