Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses three things people may not have heard before about oatmeal. Firstly, studies have shown that oatmeal significantly improves cholesterol and blood sugar compared to white bread. Still, the comparison is not made clear in many marketing campaigns. Secondly, oats contain a gluten type called avenin which can cause inflammatory responses in some people with celiac disease or irritable bowel syndrome. Lastly, oat products are often treated with weed killer called glyphosate by companies such as Monsanto, which has been linked to an increased risk of cancer by the World Health Organization. The video suggests that people may want to skip breakfast, try intermittent fasting, or opt for eggs instead of oatmeal.

Summary of Description:
This video discusses whether oatmeal is good for you or not. Studies show that unsweetened oatmeal has some benefits, such as improving blood sugar and cholesterol, but it is not a cure-all. Flavored oatmeal contains a lot of sugar and is not healthy. Oats contain a type of gluten that increases cytokines, and oat products may contain glyphosate, which the World Health Organization classifies as a carcinogen. The video suggests that skipping breakfast altogether and trying intermittent fasting or choosing eggs over oatmeal may be beneficial. However, this information is for general informational purposes only, and it is recommended to consult a physician before making any changes to your health regimen or diet.

New Information on Oatmeal
Oatmeal has been marketed as a healthy food for many years, but is it as good for you as it seems? It turns out that the small packets of flavored oatmeal contain a significant amount of sugar, which can negate any potential health benefits. However, what about unsweetened oatmeal? Recent studies indicate that there might be some advantages to consuming oatmeal, but it is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all solution.
Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
According to data gathered from research studies, unsweetened oatmeal has been linked to significant improvements in blood sugar and cholesterol. However, it is essential to note that these studies have limitations. In one study, the control group was white bread, which is not exceptionally nutritious. Additionally, the improvement in blood sugar levels was only seen immediately after consuming the oatmeal. A different study investigated the effects of consuming beta-glucan, an isolated compound in oatmeal. Participants with diabetes did not see a decrease in their blood glucose levels due to consuming oatmeal.
Avenin and Glyphosate
Another factor to consider is that oats contain a type of gluten called avenin, which can potentially increase cytokines. Additionally, many oat products are treated with glyphosate, classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. This can be a cause of concern for people who are looking to eat a healthier diet.
The Benefits of Skipping Breakfast
Intermittent fasting has many benefits, including weight loss and improved energy levels. While oatmeal does have some potential benefits, it may not be the ideal food for everyone. It might be better to skip breakfast altogether and try intermittent fasting. You do find that you need to consume something in the morning; eggs are a healthier choice than oatmeal.
Benefits of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern restricting food intake during certain times of the day or week. It has been linked to many health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and a lower risk of chronic diseases. In addition to these benefits, intermittent fasting has been shown to reduce inflammation, a crucial contributor to many chronic conditions.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, while oatmeal does have some potential benefits, it is not necessarily the best choice for everyone. Unsweetened oatmeal has been linked to improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels, but it contains a gluten type called avenin that can increase cytokines. Additionally, many oat products are treated with glyphosate, classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Instead of relying on oatmeal for breakfast, consider giving intermittent fasting a try or consuming eggs for a healthier source of protein.

Is oatmeal terrible for you? Let’s talk about it.
The small packets of flavored oatmeal contain a lot of sugar, and even though they may be marketed as healthy—they’re not.
But what about unsweetened oatmeal?
Here are three things you might not know about unsweetened oatmeal:
1. Certain studies show a significant improvement in blood sugar and cholesterol. However, the control in one of these studies is white bread. The study also only showed improved blood sugar right after the meal.
Part of the study referring to cholesterol was only on consuming beta-glucan, an isolated compound in oatmeal. In a different study, the participants all had diabetes and didn’t see a change in their blood glucose levels.
2. Oats contain a type of gluten called avenin. This protein has been known to increase cytokines.
3. Oat products have often been treated with glyphosate. The World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a carcinogen.
It may be beneficial to skip breakfast altogether and try intermittent fasting. If you consume breakfast, eggs would be a healthier choice than oatmeal.
