| If you believe that the AHA is acting in the best interests of the American public you might want to lay off the cocoa puffs for a little while. Ignoring the point that the AHA recommends a diet that is wacko, the stamp of approval is really a revenue tool for the AHA. Companies pay AHA for this and it is a little like a corporate sponsorship program. The only requirement for certifying the product is that it be low fat and that it contain lots of grains. These sound like great products for diabetics!!
In some ways a good guide to eating healthy would be to look for the heart-healthy logo and avoid those foods.
