Science Strongly Reaffirms Oatmeal's Health Claims

A new scientific review of the most current research shows the link
between eating oatmeal and cholesterol reduction to be stronger than
when the FDA initially approved the health claim's appearance on food
labels in 1997.

Dr. James W. Anderson, professor of medicine and clinical nutrition at
the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, co-authors "The
Oatmeal-Cholesterol Connection: 10 Years Later" in the January/
February 2008 issue of the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.

Anderson presents a contemporary analysis to determine if newer
studies are consistent with the original conclusion reached by the
FDA. His report says studies conducted during the past 15 years have,
without exception, shown:

* total cholesterol levels are lowered through oat consumption;

* low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the "bad" cholesterol) is reduced
without adverse effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL,
the "good" cholesterol), or triglyceride concentrations.

"Whole-grain products like oatmeal are among some of the best foods
one can eat to improve cholesterol levels, in addition to other
lifestyle choices," Anderson said. "Lifestyle choices, such as diet,
should be the first line of therapy for most patients with moderate
cholesterol risk given the expense, safety concerns, and intolerance
related to cholesterol lowering drugs."

More recent data indicate that whole-grain oats, as part of a
lifestyle management program, may confer health benefits that extend
beyond total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol reduction, Anderson
said.

Recent studies suggest eating oatmeal may:

* Reduce the risk for elevated blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and
weight gain

* Reduce LDL cholesterol during weight-loss

* Provide favorable changes in the physical characteristics of LDL
cholesterol particles, making them less susceptible to oxidation
(oxidation is thought to lead to hardening of the arteries.)

* Supply unique compounds that may lead to reducing early hardening of
the arteries

"Since the 80's, oatmeal has been scientifically recognized for its
heart health benefits, and the latest research shows this evidence
endures the test of time and should be embraced as a lifestyle option
for the millions of Americans at-risk for heart disease," said
Anderson.

Anderson co-authored the comprehensive research review with Mark
Andon, a researcher and nutrition director for Quaker-Tropicana.
