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.
