I feel bad that I'm not prepared to try to read and comprehend this entire document.
What I got so far is that people on a diet of oats boiled in water three times a day saw a significant change in cholesterol levels. People who ate it once a day saw potentially beneficial changes to their gut biome but no significant change to cholesterol levels.
I'm not eating water-boiled oatmeal three times a day, but if there is a more palatable message here (see what I did there?), I think it perhaps validates that oats really are good for you.
For two days. The surprising thing about this was that the benefits took two days. It’s not a permanent diet.
Well okay, but how long does it take to go back to where you were if you stop?
What do you do here? Periodically do an oat cleanse? Try to replicate the effects of the oats in a medicine or dietary supplement that can be administered?
I don't hate oats by the way!
