| -----------
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.
