Whole grain cereals, popcorn rich in antioxidants, not just fiber,

advertisement

In a first-of-its kind study, scientists reported today at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) that snack foods like popcorn and many popular breakfast cereals contain "surprisingly large" amounts of healthful antioxidant substances called "polyphenols." Polyphenols are a major reason why fruits and vegetables — and foods like chocolate, wine, coffee, and tea — have become renowned for their potential role in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Oh yeah, Captain Crunch is great I love that cereal. But just like you I can't (or shouldn't) eat it...

I switched my breakfast a couple of years ago to mostly cheerios, lactose free milk, and blueberries. No sugar. It's interesting to hear the results of this study, I have always heard good things about oat bran.

I still love doughnuts and pastry though, but try to ration them a bit and get some balance in my diet. Every little bit helps...?

Someone needs to come up with some good reasons to drink Coke and eat steak. I know I'm all for it.
