conducted by the U.S. Depart­

Hlgh-Octan' Fuel
For th Body
Complex carbohydrate are to
the body as high-octane gaso­
line i to a car. Of the three
ources of energy-fat, protein
and carbohydrates-carbohy­
drate are the primary and most
efficient fuel for the body, say
Mary Helen GunkIer, registered
dietitian and staff nutritioni t .
for Total cereal. They offer
many other benefits a well. .
• Foods high in complex carbo­
hydrate -grains, vegetables
and fruits-often are low in fat
or contain no fat.
• Grain products are often -low
in dietary cholesterol and
u ually provide no dietary cho­
Ie terol at all. Frui t and
vegetables are naturally choles­
terol free.
• Food high in complex carbo­
hydrates may be good source of
both soluble and in oluble fiber,
which may offer pecific health
benefit.
• Cereal, pa ta, rice and bread
are all grain foods that provide
important B vitamins. Example
are thiamin, niacin and ribofla­
vin, which help the body utilize
calorie for energy.
• Grain food also are good
ource of e sential mineral ,

vitamin are nece ary for
healthy ti ue.
GunkIer conclude that by
choo ing a variety of food high
in complex carbohydrate, you
will bemaking good choice for
a healthful diet. She point out
that complex carbohydrate
