Oat milk is a popular beverage, but despite being rich in dietary fiber that can help lower cholesterol and aid in digestion, it mainly consists of carbohydrates with lower protein content than soy milk and significantly less calcium than cow's milk. Commercial oat milk often contains many additives like flavors and sucrose, making it a highly processed product. While oatmeal has high nutritional value, varying processing levels can affect its nutrient content, with less processed options being more nutritious and having lower glycemic indexes. Consumers are advised to be cautious of the additives in oat milk packaging and should not assume it's healthy just because it's labeled as such. Dr. An Hsin-yu from Chiayi Christian Hospital recommends avoiding oat milk during weight loss unless unable to consume soy or cow's milk.
