Eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day may help prevent _____ because it contains _____
a. heart disease; soluble fiber
b. high blood pressure; potassium
c. hypoglycemia; complex carbohydrate
d. osteoporosis; calcium and vitamin D
A
Oatmeal helps prevent heart disease because it contains soluble fiber that helps decrease blood cholesterol levels. It is not a significant source of potassium and is unlikely to affect blood pres-sure, except by displacing other foods high in sodium. Hypoglycemia is prevented by consuming foods that contain protein and carbohydrate throughout the day, rather than eating a specific food at one meal. Oatmeal would only contain a significant amount of calcium and vitamin D if it is made or eaten with milk and so would not necessarily help prevent osteoporosis.
