Document Summary
Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol=reduced risk of coronary heart disease. Fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables=reduced risk of cancer. Fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain fiber, particularly soluble fiber=reduced risk of coronary heart disease. Soluble fiber from whole oats and from psyllium seed husk=reduced risk of heart disease. Whole grains=reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Plant sterol and plant stanol esters=reduced risk of heart disease. Statements that describe how a product may affect a structure or function of the body. Quick and easy fixes= even proven treatments take time to be effective. Personal testimonies=hearsay is the weakest form of scientific validity. One product does it all=no one product can treat every disease and condition. Natural=natural is not necessarily safer or better, any product strong enough to be effective is strong enough to cause side effects. Time-tested or latest innovation=such findings would be widely publicized and accepted by health professionals.
