U.S. Mills, LLC and Joslin Diabetes Center Working Together to Promote Healthy Eating
NEEDHAM, Mass.-(Business Wire)-September 18, 2009 - U.S. Mills, LLC, which markets a family of healthy food brands including Uncle Sam® Cereal, announced today that the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center will provide educational material for U.S. Mills’ Web site, www.usmillsllc.com. The content will serve as a resource to Uncle Sam Cereal consumers, many of whom live with diabetes.
Joslin Diabetes Center, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School, is the world’s preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization. As part of this new relationship with U.S. Mills, Joslin’s registered dietitians will provide, on the U.S. Mills Web site, answers to several frequently asked questions about diabetes, primarily focusing on nutrition. The site will also feature an excerpt from a Joslin book, with a discount code for visitors to the U.S. Mills site.
“People with diabetes often are faced with conflicting advice, information and misinformation about diabetes, especially with respect to nutrition choices,” said Charles Verde, U.S. Mills’ CEO. “We are proud to join with this well-known authority to deliver valuable, accurate nutrition information to our consumers and enhance their experience at our Web site.”
Physicians and health professionals have recommended Uncle Sam Cereal for more than 100 years. A unique blend of heart-healthy whole grain wheat flakes and flaxseed, Uncle Sam Cereal can be a healthy choice for those managing diabetes or those who monitor their sugar intake because Uncle Sam Cereal contains less than 1 gram of sugar per serving (55 grams). The whole grain cereal also contains 10 grams of fiber (8 insoluble, 2 soluble) and contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no preservatives.
Consumers may purchase Uncle Sam Cereal nationwide in grocery stores, natural food stores, Walmart Supercenters and Trader Joe’s.
