oats nutrition and technology

YiFang Chu - Personal Name;

The landmark approval of a health claim for oats in 1997 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marked the ﬁrst food speciﬁc health claim. The FDA had concluded that an intake of at least glucan from oats as part of a diet low in saturated fats could help reduce the risk of heart disease (Chapter 17). Of importance is that the oat health claim signiﬁes for the ﬁrst time recognition by a public health agency that dietary intervention could be beneﬁcial in disease prevention, and that certain foods or food components, when consumed as part of a healthy diet, may reduce the risk of certain diseases. It is, therefore, not surprising that the ﬁrst food-related health claim was approved for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the United States and many western countries, including Canada (Health Canada, 2010). Often under communicated is that CVD is the leading cause of death among women in the United States (Roger et al., 2012).
