The next time you visit the supermarket, don’t be surprised if your
breakfast oatmeal sports some brand new labeling. The U.S. Food and
Drug Administration is expected to issue a ruling soon on whether
whole oat foods can be marketed as "low-fat" foods. Under current
regulations, foods such as oatmeal, oat bran and rolled oats can carry
heart-healthy labeling. The new ruling, which comes in response to a
petition by Quaker Oats, would allow food-makers to expand their
health marketing efforts.

What This Means for You
To enjoy the heart-healthy – and yes, possibly "low-fat" – benefits of
oat foods, opt for whole, rolled or "steel-cut" varieties rather than

From The Sonoma Diet
Yes, there are purple vegetables. Had you forgotten eggplant, Belgian
endive, and purple cabbage? You’ll also find purple bell peppers,
purple asparagus, and purple carrots. Keep an eye out for these
beautiful vegetables in your local market.

You’ll even see blue and purple potatoes, which were once scarce in
North America but are now becoming more and more common on grocery
store shelves. Smaller than baking potatoes they have a natural
buttery flavor, so you’ll have no trouble eating them without added fat.

For an easy way to add some purple to your day, simply toss some
purple kale into a salad.
