Can You Believe Anything You Read These Days?
Other
I do try to find answers to my questions online. A very simple one today, for my healthy diet i wanted to know, 'is it safe to eat raw oats?'
Guess what, lengthy articles on both sides, yes and no, one saying they were healthier uncooked, the other saying cooked brings out more nutrients.
Most of the time after googling queries i find i am more confused than before!
I'm a keen fan of Dr Barbara O Neill who is as knowledgable as she is healthy.Oats are all go with her.
MelissaLee1 I need fibre but no sugar if possible. But there are so many wrong and possibly dangerous articles on google type platforms these days, not to mention social media. Even when I read historical stuff many articles differ with things like dates and even names.
Nope absolutely not. Too many believe everything the see or read on the internet and belief it to be gospel
I tend to ask on here ! Its a great. Shame that Michael Mosley is no longer with us as he used to be able to cut through the lies - often using himself as a guinea pig.
Oats - I have been led to believe that ‘overnight’ oats - the uncooked ones are less healthy for you than the cooked ones. The less processed the better ie:- the oats that you have to cook properly are better for you than the ones that you just mix with boiling water.
suevernon1968 I was just using that as an example but thanks for the info. I have been having yoghurt with fruit I have chopped up and was mixing with a few oats to add fibre and substance. I love cooked porridge but never the micro packs, just proper oats cooked on the hob. Had to stop eating it though as I needed a mountain of sugar to make it palatable!!!
