The big news about barley

Studies show that barley lowers the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), and now the Food and Drug Administration has authorized the use of a heart health claim on whole-grain barley products. CHD causes almost 500,00 deaths annually. The soluble fiber in barley has been shown to help lower total Cholesterol levels and levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), two major risk factors for CHD.

Products expected to display this claim include flakes, flour and pearled barley.
