I think they are fine, like everything eat in moderation.

Plain oats should be fine without adding any processed sugar.

I think that if you buy plain oats that they’re better than the prepackaged and flavoured oats (I’m guessing that they might have extra sugars in them). But overall, I believe that oats are a great, low gi food for everyone. My toddler loves them!

Hi Unicorn. Thanks for your reply. I buy the raw rolled oats and put a bit of good old normal milk on them and a sprinkling of stevia and eat them straight as they are or on a cold day I pop them in the microwave for 1min 20 secs. My micro is an 1100 watter!

Do you mean porridge or just in general. With porridge oats I think it depends on whether they are the flavoured kind or natural and also how you cook them. Even the flavoured kind would have to be better for you than cereal.
If you heard they are considered bad because of the whole Paleo thing then I think I would ignore it.

I agree with you Jack! You cant beat a nice bowl of rolled oats with some hot milk and a weeny sprinkling of raw sugar [or if I am being good a sprinkling of stevia] on a bitterly cold day for lunch would you believe and you do not get hungry all day!

I think oats are good. At least better than sugary cereal.

Oats are good fibre it is true I use them to make my muesli too
good start to the day, filling and nutritious in every way
if in a hurry you can quick brands buy,microwaved with milk ready in a twinkle of an eye

I think they are healthy.

I believe oats are very healthy as they contain no artificial flavours or colourings. Great to make Anzac biscuits with & porridge.

Oats are healthy and great for your digestive system as long as you don’t have an intolerance. I have read that raw oats can be difficult for the stomach to process properly so just make sure that they’re either cooked or soaked overnight.

personly i love oats, especially in winter for breaky, they are wholesome, give you loads of energy, very filling, and has nothing added to them as long as you get the natural one and not that sachat one with all the added things that aren’t good for you.

I agree with you completely busy little bee! I have them uncooked with a slight sprinklinf of stevia and a little milk. I love them!

Plain unprocessed oars are very healthy
But it’s how you cool them that can make the difference.
If you add a lot of butter and suger /salt

Then they can become unhealthy

But oats help the digestive system and helps lower colestrol
And helps with your GI levels throughout the day

They are healthy but are high in calories so best in moderation. There are a lot more unhealthy choices in comparison to oats.

Rolled oats are definitely not unhealthy! We have them regularly cooked with cinnamon and then Itop my kids with raw honey. They love it and it fills them up.

Healthy!!

I have been eating rolled oats for over 10 years, with fruit and yoghurt. It is one of the healthiest breakfasts in my book. No sugar needed and you can flavour it in so many ways, you never get tired of it. Love my oats and will never change.

I have insulin resistance. I was advised by a deitician that oats with skim milk are Ok in moderation as there is a balance of protein and carbohydrates which take you longer to digest so you aren’t looking for snacks too soon. Instead of adding sugar, I add a finely chopped pear (with skin on) while it is cooking which gives it a fruity flavour not just sweetness

We buy organic and raw oats. Have a half cup per day. Keeps you full until lunchtime.
We like to add stewed apple and cinnamon for taste. (No added sugar)
We do not buy the boxed variety’s as they are processed and have salt and sugar.
Oat’s are great to add to your diet so long as your body processes the oats with no
side effects.
