Sugar spikes have long been suspected as contributing to or exaggerating some behavioral and attention deficit problems in children. Moms who formerly felt guilty for not serving them can now take solace in the health contrasts between the cholesterol-boosting bacon and egg entrees, and fortified whole grain breakfast cereals. With the addition of milk or another high-protein source and fresh fruit, children get a great start on the day. The whole truth While the values of isolated antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals are fairly clear, there may be more health value when they are consumed in their whole grain state. This may explain why one recent study specifically tracking fiber did not show a significant reduction in the risk of colon cancer.
Research suggests it's the whole food.
The whole grain delivers abundant amounts of antioxidant vitamins and phytochemicals that appear to act together to provide protective effects. These are the health benefits that Palmer wants the public to embrace. And General Mills is willing to support cancer research to get his message out. Of course, the company wants to sell more Wheaties, but if lives can be saved in the process, it seems like a win-win proposition. So although his name may no longer be at the top of the leader board, Arnold Palmer has found another way to lead the field.
