Whole grains and Oats

• Whole Grains are Wholesome
• Rich in macro- and micro-nutrients and

phytonutrients

• High in dietary fiber (soluble and/or insoluble)
• Provide several health benefits, including

lowering risk to chronic diseases

Oats and Lower Risk to Heart Disease

EXISTING BENEFIT Oats may help to:

lower total blood cholesterol lower LDL-cholesterol reduce the risk of heart

disease

Thies et al. 2014

FDA – ‘Eating ≥ 3 grams beta-glucan from oats or barley per day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease’.

Food and Drug Administration, Fed Regist. 1996;61:296-313.

11

“Other function” claim

Beta glucan from (state the source) helps lower or reduce cholesterol*

*Component Minimum amount required Other Conditions Beta-glucan 0.75g per serving I. Source of beta glucan shall be from oat and barley II. The food to be added with beta-glucan shall also contain total dietary fiber for not less than amount required to claim as “source”: 3g per 100 g (solids) 1.5g per 100 ml (liquids)

• III. There shall be written in the

label this following statement, ‘Amount recommended for cholesterol lowering effect is 3g/day’

However, Malaysia does not allow a claim on reducing risk to heart disease

• 1. Oats and Blood Pressure

Relate to:

• Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) – diet

rich in whole grains

• Inverse association between high whole grains intake

and lower prevalence of hypertension Jacobs et al. 1998, Steffen 2005

• However, the link is unresolved:
• Some studies showed improved blood pressure

with oats, while others showed no significant effect

• Similar with large trials
• Hence, more studies are needed

Fonseca 2003, He et al. 2004, Kotchen 1996, Keenan et al. 2002, Pins et al. 2002, Saltzman et al., 2001, Tighe et al. 2010, Davy et al. 2002, Charlton et al. 2011, Maki et al. 2007

• 2. Oats and

Cardiovascular Function

Oats may help:

• improve heart muscle function, and slow development of

atherosclerosis Katz et al. 2004, Liu et al. 2004, Nie et al. 2006

• reduce inflammation and improve blood flow
• due to the antioxidants (called avenanthramides)

Bratt et al. 2003, Chen et al. 2007, Ji et al. 2003 However, insufficient evidence at this time, and further exploration is required, looking at the antioxidant properties of oats.

14

• 3. Oats and Blood Sugar

Oats may help to control blood sugar:

• delay sugar uptake in gastrointestinal tract
• improve insulin sensitivity / response
• Behall et al. 2005, De Angelis et al. 2007, Wood et al. 1994, Hlebowicz et al. 2008, Regand et al. 2009, Alminger

et al. 2008, Granfeldt et al. 2008

Also, permitted “other function” claim in Malaysia:

Oat soluble fibre (beta-glucan) helps to lower the rise of blood glucose provided it is not consumed together with other food

However, more research is still needed on the effects of

• ats on blood sugar when consuming a meal mixed with
• ther foods.

15

• 4. Oats and Satiety

Oats may help one to feel full longer:

• due to the viscosity of its fibres
• food leaves the stomach at a slower rate
• able to regulate / control appetite

Kristensen et al. 2011, Wanders et al. 2011 Evidence is still growing, which requires more studies.

16

• 5. Oats and Gut Health

High in dietary fibre (both soluble & insoluble)

• which may help to

support digestive health Hallert et al. 2003, Hogberg et al. 2004,

Junoven et al. 2009, Janatuinen et al. 2002

Emerging area of research in oats’ prebiotic capacity to benefit gut health Kedia et al. 2009, Connolly et al. 2010, Duncan et al. 2004

Oats in your daily diet

• Oats have been recommended to be included

in daily diet in a variety ways, for the preparation of various meals.

• For example, oatmeal (oats cooked with water)

is an excellent choice for breakfast, and

• Due to its flexibility of either eaten as raw or

cooked, oats can be incorporated as an ingredient into several foods.

• At least half of the recommended intake

for grains should be derived from whole grains.

• Consumption of oats can help consumers

meet their daily whole grain requirement.

• With the several health benefits of oats,

let’s start including oats in the family menu! OATS ARE YUMMY!
