New Australian ‘Superfood’ breakfast cereal helps reduce diabetes risk
Goodness Superfoods has released a new range of products containing ‘BARLEYmax’, a grain developed by the CSRIO, which can help reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
The new ‘super grain’ is a natural, non-genetically modified wholegrain that contains twice the dietary fibre of other grains and has a low GI.
“In an era when new ‘superfoods’ are discovered almost weekly, the health benefits of ‘BARLEYmax’ wholegrain are highly credible,” says Dr David Topping from the CSIRO. “It has been through a rigorous set of animal and human trials to substantiate what we say about its benefits.”
Sydney nutritionist and supporter of Goodness Superfoods, Dr Joanna McMillan, is convinced of the benefits of the new cereals, saying they are “great for reducing many serious health risks that Australians are facing more and more.”
The new grain is in Goodness Superfoods range of cereals, Digestive 1st, Heart 1st and Protein 1st. Goodness Superfoods is an Australian owned brand based in Dandenong, Victoria.
Other known superfoods include blueberries, salmon, green tea, flaxseed oil and others.
The term ‘superfood’ is a marketing construct. Your claim that “Other known superfoods include blueberries, salmon, green tea, flaxseed oil and others” is not supportable. These are among the many useful foods that provide some nutrients but no single food (apart from breast milk for the first 6 months of life) is essential or, on its own, likely to promote ‘super’ health (or even ‘health’.
Good morning
i would like to say that the protein cereal is low GI and so it is suitable for diabetic people, but it has got potassium of 332mg per 50 g. Unfortunately, I am diabetic and I also have high blood pressure and consequently, I have to take blood pressure tablets( which react to potassium). It is a shame because I like the superfoods cereal products.
thank you for your assistance
