Recent magazine articles and nutritionists suggest replacing high-fat and high-sugar breakfast items with oats, leading to the introduction of various oat products in the market. Despite the health claims, many popular sweet oat cereals contain higher sugar content than even potato chips or cookies, potentially posing health risks. Dr. An Xin-yu from Chiayi Christian Hospital shares that while oats are a healthy choice, not all oat products are equal, and she introduces different types such as whole oats, steel-cut oats, oat rice, rolled oats, quick rolled oats, instant oats, oat flour, and oat milk, each with varying nutritional values and recommended cooking methods to ensure better health outcomes. She also advocates for mindful consideration of glycemic index and glycemic load when choosing oat products to avoid blood sugar fluctuations and associated health risks.
