-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THE "DIETARY GUIDELINES" RECOMMEND CHOOSING PRODUCTS WITH
WHOLE-GRAIN LISTED AS THE FIRST INGREDIENT. HOWEVER, IT CAN BE
CONFUSING TO FIND PRODUCTS WITH WHOLE-GRAIN, IN THE GROCERY-STORE--AND
EVEN HARDER TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'RE GETTING, IN THOSE FOODS.
DOCTOR TRAVIS STORK--AN E-R-PHYSICIAN AND HOST OF "THE
DOCTORS"--HAS PARTNERED WITH GENERAL MILLS, TO
OFFER TIPS FOR GETTING MORE WHOLE-GRAIN INTO YOUR DIET...
(STORK):
"ONE EASY
PLACE TO SUBSTITUTE IN WHOLE-GRAINS IS IN THE CEREAL-, THE BREAD-, OR
THE PASTA-AISLE. BUT, SHOPPERS DO NEED TO READ THE
INGREDIENT-LIST, ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX--IF THEY WANT TO GET THE REAL
SCOOP. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE [THAT] THE WORD 'WHOLE' IS LISTED
FIRST, IN THE INGREDIENT-LIST--AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY A GRAIN, LIKE
WHEAT. AND, COMPANIES ARE MAKING IT EASIER AND EASIER: AS AN
EXAMPLE, THE CEREALS WITH THE 'WHITE CHECK' NOW HIGHLIGHT THE
GRAMS OF WHOLE-GRAIN, PER SERVING, ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX--BECAUSE, IN
THE END, YOU SHOULD KNOW THE INGREDIENTS OF THE PRODUCTS [THAT] YOU BUY."
