Good sources of fiber are everywhere, sometimes where you least expect:
whole-wheat products, flax seed, corn bran, vegetables, fruit skins, beans, oat
bran, barley, and oranges. Those are just a few. Check out the USDA website and
the Whole Grains Council website for more. Also look for the new Whole Grains
label on products containing these healthy little nuggets. The eye catching
symbol will help you make good choices at the grocery store.
So I hope I’ve convinced you now; the new USDA guidelines are not a
government sponsored fad diet. Whole grains are essential to keeping you trim
and healthy. I know I’m tired of Fat American jokes, aren’t you? Do something
about it!
