Is Oatrim The Answer? LEESPORT (Berks Co.) Oatrim has recently appeared on the list of ingredients in some packaged food. Developed by the Agricultural Research Service scientist, oatrim is m a growing number of brand foods, and the flour-like product can also be purchased commercially. Oatrim —a fiber-rich fat replac er made from oats may have a role in reducing the risk of heart dis ease. An 11-week study found that oatrim dramatically reduced oxi dation of fatty acids in 24 men and women. Oxidation of fats circulat ing in the blood is believed to trig ger the process that leads to blocked arteries. So a reduction in oxidation could lower the risk of heart disease. Eating foods containing oatrim significantly lowered blood cholesterol and systolic blood pressure and improved glucose tolerance, which reduces the risk of diabetes. Also, oatrim holds promise in weight reduction; vol unteers in the study lost weight despite every effort to keep weight constant. i Beitzel’s Spraying - Since 1961 < WHITEWASHING with ADVANTAGE FARM WHITE M M * M M M M * M M ft M « M * * * * % % * % M * M M M * % « II II H II II II II II i | BEITZEL S SPRAYING I S Box 31 • Witmer, PA 17585 g| | 717-392-7227 —; l' ; 1-800-727-7228 Call For Appointment | AIRCLEANING with compressed air is recommended to blow down dust and cob webs and to keep white wash from building up.
