Deleted image removed Image Whole Grain Stamps.gif Whole Grain Stamps thumb right The Whole Grain Stamp was created by the http www.wholegrainscouncil.org Whole Grains Council and a panel of scientific and culinary advisors in January 2005 as a visual marker to signal products that contain dietarily significant amounts of whole grains. The Stamp features a stylized sheaf of grain on a golden yellow background with a black border. Every product that bears the stamp must contain at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving. 8 grams equals one half of a MyPyramid serving. Citation needed date September 2009 Products that bear the 100 Whole Grain Stamp contain at least 16 grams of whole grain per serving or a full MyPyramid serving as outlined by the USDA and do not contain any refined grains. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Citation needed date September 2009 recommend that everyone over age 9 should eat at least three servings of whole grains each day for health. For an outline of scientific studies published on the health benefits of whole grains, see resources below. In 1999, the FDA authorized the use of a health claim that can be used on whole grain foods Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these claims have certain limitations, and cannot be used on some whole grain foods even if the foods are 100 whole grain. See resources below for more information on health claims and Guideline specifics. References American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , Nov. 2003 vol 78 5 920 927.

Unreferenced date April 2007 The Twelve Pyramids is a set of 12 health and nutrition plans, found in the MyPyramid Food Guidance System, are based on age and gender and activity level. MyPyramid was created by the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion CNPP , an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture USDA , and was released in 2005. The food plans guide individuals to balance caloric intake with energy expenditure, increase intake of vitamins and other essential nutrients, and decrease intake of excess fats and sugars. In all areas, moderation is emphasized. The plans recommend increasing intake of some foods that are high in certain nutrients therefore, it is possible that a person following the plan might consume less food energy and a more balanced diet while actually eating more food than before beginning the plan. The plans were developed based on averages for males and females at various ages, so people with either a significantly higher or lower Body Mass Index BMI or a significantly larger or smaller skeletal frame may need to adjust their plans accordingly. Also, the intake levels are calculated based on a sedentary lifestyle, so adjustments must be made for people who are more active. The food plans The food plans under the Twelve Pyramids include a limited allowance for sweets, alcohol, or foods with very high fat content. These items are considered discretionary intake and are generally limited to approximately 10 of the allowed food energy per day within the limits of the appropriate plan for a person s caloric needs.

Image Frosted Mini Wheats.PNG thumb 250 px right Frosted Mini Wheats Frosted Mini Wheats Mini Max , once called Frosted Wheats in the United Kingdom, Mini Wheats in Canada, and Toppas in certain European countries also referred as Mini Wheats in the US is a breakfast cereal manufactured by Kellogg s consisting of shredded wheat cereal pieces and frosting. History Kelloggs introduced Frosted Mini Wheats in the United States in 1972 as a large size portion that was available in regular and brown sugar cinnamon flavor, which would later be followed by a bite size portion that was introduced in 1980. The original large size Mini Wheats would later be renamed Big Bite by the 1990s. Internationally, Frosted Wheats were available from the 1980s until the early 1990s in the United Kingdom under the Toppas name. They subsequently disappeared from shop shelves but were reissued several years later under the Frosted Wheats brand, similar to that used elsewhere in the world. The new cereal uses far smaller pieces of frosted wheat parcel than the original Toppas and contains beef gelatine. Initially Kellogg s Mini Wheats were available without the sugar frosting and with raisins or blueberries in the center. The Mini Wheats recipe when produced in Canada or the United States was slightly different however, Canadian produced London ON Mini Wheats are no longer available in Canada and are now imported from the US. Since January 2008 Canadian produced New plant in Belleville,ON Mini Wheats are available in Canada and are now imported into the US. Advertising US Frosted Mini Wheats are marketed variously. They tolerated a short stint on television advertisements with a series of commercials about one Frosted Mini Wheat with split personalities the sweet frosted side and wheat shredded grain side argued over who was more popular. When the new MyPyramid debuted, launching the whole grain craze, it enjoyed another short lived advertising stint as a Frosted Mini Wheats Health fiber cons ... more details
