Plant scientist Dr. Vernon Douglas Burrows; For more than 50 years, Burrows has been working to develop better varieties of oats.
Natural foods -“Naked Oat“ based on a new processing technique developed by AAFC （ Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada ） through a 15-year research and breeding project. The raw material is a new hulless and hairless oat variety.
The Program in Food Safety, Nutrition and Regulatory Affairs (PFSNRA) of the University of Toronto that spanned the literature published from 1995 to 2006. In the PFSNRA review, 36 human studies were identified which investigated oat beta-glucan fiber and its cholesterol lowering properties.
Health Canada has concluded that scientific evidence exists in support of the claim linking the consumption of beta-glucan oat fiber to a reduction of blood cholesterol.
