Health Note: According to Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming at least 3 grams of barley beta-glucan daily can help lower blood cholesterol levels, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Whole-grain barley, a fiber-rich grain, also helps regulate blood sugar by reducing the glucose response after meals. Regular consumption of barley-based breakfast cereals over several weeks to months can improve both cholesterol levels and blood sugar regulation. However, since barley contains gluten, it is not suitable for people with gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergies.
