0How to choose the best oat bran powder
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the
Smartest
Consumer of them all…
The Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and US Food Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the health claim for the maintenance of heart health based on the fact that 3g oat beta-glucan per day can help reduce cholesterol . The question is – Are you taking a sufficient amount of oat beta-glucan every day to effectively lower your cholesterol? Currently, oat brands in Malaysia contain about three to five percent of beta-glucan which translates to roughly two bowls of oatmeal (70g) for consumption. If that is too many mouthfuls for you, why not try oat bran powder with a higher concentration of oat beta-glucan and at a much lower daily dosage?
Not All Oat Bran Powder is Created Equal!
As a smart consumer, it is imperative to know how to choose the best oat bran product with substantiated cholesterol-lowering efficacy. Use the selection criteria below as your know-how guidelines:
1. Go for 100% oat bran powder.
Some oat bran products in the market are added with thickeners, fillers or artificial ingredients to produce extra gelling effect. Make sure you check the ingredient list on the packaging of the product.
2. Good solubility and gel-forming ability in water.
Make sure the oat bran powder can dissolve completely in water because the lumpy texture will affect the palatability of the mixture. * The higher the solubility which ensures better gel formation, the better the cholesterol-lowering effect.
3. Check the oat beta-glucan content on the label.
Don’t be misled by numbers associated with the brand name of a product. High number does not necessarily imply that the product contains high amount of the active ingredient, in this case, oat beta-glucan. Make sure you check the beta-glucan content at the nutrition information on the product packaging. In the Malaysian context, the maximum amount of oat beta-glucan allowed in food products is only 20g per 100g or 20%.
4. Check the carbohydrate content on the label.
Some oat bran products in the market contain a high amount of carbohydrates (monosaccharides & starch) which do not favour individuals with elevated blood sugar level and/or overweight problem. Make sure you check the nutrition information on the packaging for carbohydrate content.
5. Cholesterol lowering effect of the oat bran powder is substantiated with clinical studies and human trials.
Make sure you find out more information about the source of the oat bran powder and check if the oat bran powder was used as the research material in the clinical studies and published journals.
