Oats are good for you. What are oats?
From Wikipedia:
"The common oat (Avena sativa) is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other grains)..... oats are suitable for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats.. one of the most common uses is as livestock feed. Oats make up a part of the daily diet of horses, about 20% of daily intake or smaller, and are regularly fed to cattle as well. Oats are also used in some brands of dog food and chicken feed. Oat seeds are commonly marketed as cat grass to cat enthusiasts, since cats readily harvest and eat tender young oat, wheat, and some other grass sprouts."
Oats can be processed and rolled, or they can be cut.
"Steel-cut oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into pieces. They are commonly used in Scotland and Ireland to make porridge, whereasrolled oats are used in England, other English-speaking countries, and Scandinavia."
So not only are oats good for us, they are good for cattle, which we eat, and horses, which we ride, and dogs and cats, which we want to live a long time.
Oats are a miracle food. They have beta-glucans: after eating rice, blood sugar is higher than if you have eaten oats. This is not a problem if your body is handling blood sugar properly, but if you have some symptoms of diabetes, it is a problem. Simply, diabetes is a transport problem for sugar in the body. The less sugar you have, the easier it will be handled. Eating oats makes less blood sugar than eating rice or white flour.
Like everything which is good to eat, don't eat too much, and keep moving. Dance diabetes into hell.
