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.
