-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
FOOD-TRENDS COME AND GO--BUT ONE TREND THAT'S HERE TO STAY IS THE
IMPORTANCE OF WHOLE-GRAIN. IN FACT, THE "DIETARY GUIDELINES"-RECOMMENDATION
STATES THAT AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR GRAIN-INTAKE SHOULD BE WHOLE-GRAIN.
BUT, GIVEN THE EVER-CHANGING NATURE OF HEALTH-TRENDS, IT CAN BE
CONFUSING FOR SHOPPERS TO TRANSLATE WHAT THEY READ ON FOOD-LABELS TO
THEIR NUTRITIONAL-NEEDS. NUTRITIONIST KEITH AYOOB HAS TIPS
ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR...
(AYOOB):
"YOU CAN
INCORPORATE WHOLE-GRAIN INTO YOUR DIET, WITHOUT SACRIFICING TASTE--AND
IT STARTS BY MAKING THE RIGHT SUPERMARKET-CHOICES. SO, GET CUES
FROM THE FRONT OF THE BOX--BUT MAKE SURE TO [ALSO] LOOK DEEPER ON THE
NUTRITION-PANEL. FOR A GREAT START TO THE DAY, I RECOMMEND
BREAKFAST-CEREALS THAT HAVE THE WORDS 'WHOLE GRAIN' LISTED AS THE FIRST
INGREDIENT ON THE INGREDIENT-LIST."
(CLOSE):
STARTING IN JANUARY, MORE THAN 50 CEREALS WITH THE "WHITE CHECK"--INCLUDING
"HONEY NUT CHEERIOS" AND "CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH"--WILL HAVE
MORE WHOLE-GRAIN THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE-INGREDIENT--WITH THE SAME GREAT
TASTE. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE BENEFITS OF WHOLE-GRAIN, VISIT
