Did You Know??... Now through June 15th, United Markets has McCann’s Steel Cut Oats (16-oz.) on Special for just $3.98. Whether youd like to bake cookies or muffins, or just enjoy a piping hot bowl of oatmeal topped with fruit, be sure to pick some up on your next visit to United! Oats are a great source of fiber and provide numerous health benefits. As just one example, according to The World’s Healthiest Foods website, “Oats, oat bran, and oatmeal contain a specific type of fiber known as beta-glucan. Since 1963, study after study has proven the beneficial effects of this special fiber on cholesterol levels. Studies show that in individuals with high cholesterol (above 220 mg/dl), consuming just 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (an amount found in one bowl of oatmeal) typically lowers total cholesterol by 8-23%. This is highly significant since each 1% drop in serum cholesterol translates to a 2% decrease in the risk of developing heart disease.” Pretty impressive, eh? And there’s a lot more to the story when it comes to the health benefits of oats. Here’s a link to their website, in case you’d like to know more. whfoods/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=54
