Beware of Mixed Signals on Grains

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Beware of Mixed Signals on Grains By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs Actress Heather Graham ("The Hangover"), NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (who was a receiver for the 49ers), and former NBA player DeJuan Wheat (of the Timberwolves and Grizzlies) all sport names of well-known grains. But are they 100% whole? We'll leave that answer to movie critics and sports commentators. But we do know that when it comes to ascertaining the whole-grain content of various foods, most people score way below 100%. Special: [The Root Cause of Swollen Feet]( A study published in the journal Public Health Nutrition found that when presented with mocked-up grain products, 31% of U.S. adults incorrectly identified the healthier options for cereal, and 47% were wrong regarding bread. When estimating the whole-grain content of real products, 43% overstated it for honey wheat bread and 51% for 12-grain bread. Why does this happen? Mostly because of intentional misdirection on the packaging, according to researchers from Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Use of words such as "multigrain," "whole grains," and "12-grain," as well as packaging that's brown or has an official-looking "whole grain" stamp, are likely to cause consumers to mistakenly think the food contains healthy ingredients. Unfortunately, none of those "signals" tell you the product contains 100% whole grain and nothing but that grain. The researchers point out that 42% of Americans' calories come from low-quality carbohydrates, so it's important to know if you're getting minimally processed or unprocessed grains. Those kinds of grains can help prevent or reverse diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers. Only go for products that say "100% Whole Grains," and read nutrition and ingredient labels. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL Your lymphatic system acts as a one-way detox channel for your body… It filters and carries cellular waste and harmful bacteria into your bloodstream for your liver & kidneys to process and flush out… It also plays an important part in delivering essential nutrients all the way from your brain to the bottoms of your feet. Over time, these lymphatic channels can break down, age, and congest – rendering them USELESS… often resulting in swollen tissue around your legs, ankles, and feet. If you’ve noticed your ankles are a little puffier… your shoes feel tighter… or your socks are leaving a red ring around your ankles… You may find relief when you feed your body UNIQUE FATTY ACIDS recently found to support healthy lymphatic function… help to remove clogs… and increase lymphatic flow.
