“According to new research presented at Digestive Disease Week® 2007 lifestyle factors like choosing an appetizer for dinner may have a significant impact on the gastrointestinal (GI) system, affecting your risk for certain diseases, weight and general GI-related activity.”

They show the details of an experiment, where a fatty soup consistently lowers appetite, compared with a protein rich soup. They never do mention what the fatty soup was, or make any suggestions. Does French Onion count?

  1. Rolled oats
  2. Coconut
  3. Honey
  4. Maple Syrup
  5. Raisins
  6. Apple Juice
  7. Flax Seed
  8. Pumpkin seed
  9. Cinnamon

No ten letter words. No high fructose corn syrup.
Chunky pieces make for good snacking. I can eat this all day! Only one drawback though. It turns rice milk into something nasty! Maybe it’s the apple juice that causes it to curdle?
