Want to regulate your blood sugar all day? Try a whole grain breakfast. A new study out of Lund University finds that the combination of low glycemic index and high fiber in whole grains in the morning can keep your blood sugar on a more even keel all day - and that’s important for weight management, diabetes prevention, and heart health. “It is known that a carbohydrate-rich breakfast with low GI can moderate increases in blood sugar after lunch. But my results show that low GI in combination with the right amount of so-called indigestible carbohydrates, that is, dietary fiber and resistant starch, can keep the blood-sugar level low for up to ten hours, which means until after dinner,” says Anne Nilsson, a doctoral student at the Unit for Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry and author of the dissertation.

Car Seat Recall: Dorel Juvenile Group, the nation’s largest manufacturer of car seats, is recalling 19 car seat models, including Cosco, Eddie Bauer, and Safety 1st brands. According to the company, with the recalled seats, “there is potential for the harness adjustment strap to loosen during use.” This could leave a child vulnerable to injury in the event of a crash, as he might not be properly restrained. The company notes that the seats should not be returned, but consumers should send for a free repair kit to replace the strap.

From the Chicago Tribune:

At least one child has been injured in one of the models that was recalled. The Tribune reported that 1-year-old Hailey Schmidt of Missouri was in an Eddie Bauer seat when her head snapped too far forward in a January 2005 head-on crash, leaving her a quadriplegic. Dorel settled a lawsuit with Hailey’s parents without admitting fault.

For a list of the car seat models involved in the recall, see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s page.
