Stabilize Blood Glucose with Oats

Stabilize Blood Glucose with Oats: 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."
