Read the essay. Answer the questions. Homemade oatmeal cookies are not only a better snack option than a candy bar
or pack of crackers, they are actually good for you. While processed foods strip
the nutrients out during processing, homemade treats keep the nutrients in. One
one-ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you up to 27 mg of folate-6% of
your daily recommended allowance (RDA)-a B vitamin that your body uses to
make energy. It will also give you small amounts of vitamin A and vitamin K.
Oatmeal cookies are also a good source of iron. A one-ounce, homemade oatmeal
cookle contains .70 mg of iron-9% of the RDA for men and 4% of the RDA for
women. It also contains small amounts of potassium and zinc. Finally, oatmeal
cookies are a great source of fiber. A one-ounce, homemade oatmeal cookle will
give you a whole gram of soluble fiber, which reduces "bad" cholesterol and
lowers your risk of heart disease. Soluble fiber also helps regulate your blood
sugar. So the next time you have a sweet tooth, don't try to talk yourself out of it.
Simply make the smart choice, and have an oatmeal cookie!
