Script tidbits
One perspective is the nutrient content. The unflavoured varieties all have 4g of dietary fiber. That’s a pretty good amount of fiber, providing 14% of your daily needs. Specifically, oats are a good source of a soluble fiber called beta glucan. When you eat oats, the beta glucan dissolves in water within the intestine, swells up and forms a gel. This gel makes it more difficult to reabsorb bile acids from the intestine back into the body. This means your liver can’t recycle those bile acids and instead has to make them from scratch using cholesterol, which ultimately helps reduce your bad, LDL cholesterol. Daily added sugar intake is recommended to be capped at 10% of daily calories, so assuming a 2000kcal diet, one serving contributes about a fifth of that added sugar cap. Whether that amount of added sugar is a concern really depends on the rest of your dietary pattern and how much added sugar you get throughout the day. Another perspective is the impact on blood glucose - this is called the postprandial glycemic response. Prandial meaning eating, post meaning after, glycemia referring to blood glucose. Frequent spikes in blood glucose increase inflammation, and over time this drives the development of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Why would we expect different postprandial glycemic responses? Even though they’re all the same ingredients - just oats - they differ in their processing. All oatmeal starts as oat groats. An oat groat has a fibrous bran coat surrounding a starchy endosperm and an inner germ. That outer bran is a dense network of different kinds of fibers, slowing our enzymes from accessing the starch in the endosperm. Steel cut oats take the oat groats and cut them up into coarse pieces. This cutting mostly maintains the integrity of the oat kernel. Old fashioned oats are steamed and then flattened through rollers. The rolling disrupts the fibrous bran, and the steaming relaxes the starch, making it more accessible to digestive enzymes. Instant oats are similar, except that they’re rolled thinner and steamed longer. All this processing impacts how quickly they can be cooked, but also how readily the carbohydrates are accessible for digestion and absorption into the blood. The viscous gel that forms in the stomach slows down gastric emptying, so the meal is more slowly .released into the intestines where the digestive enzymes live, plus the gel in the intestine slows the absorption of glucose. Satiety is a sense of fullness after eating. Meals that maintain satiety for longer help prevent overeating.

Woah production value and quality content is through the roof, you should be so proud of your channel. Congratulations 👏 subscribed
Great video! The best and healthiest oatmeal I’ve found to date is Trader Joe’s Organic Rolled Oats with Ancient Grains and Seeds. (All organic: rolled oats, amaranth, quinoa, chia seeds and ground flax seeds.) (0 sugar, 8g protein, 5g fiber, 4g fat, 29 g carbs per 1/2 cup.) I add banana, blueberries, walnuts and raw honey. So filling and delicious. $5 for 15 servings on my last purchase. (1lb 8 oz. bag.) I don’t work for Trader Joe’s. Lol. But I do love their store.
Sounds good (and healthy)!!
That's what I'm buying!!
😁@@ShellsPink
thanks for the trader joes info I will definitely try it
Your channel is awesome. you’re answering all the questions inside of my head I’ve been mulling over for months and years. And so well articulated, accessibly said. Thank you!
I had oats this morning with blueberries, peanut butter, cinnamon, turmeric, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc ☘️
No egg or some fried Pork rind?
I actually put in my oatmeal blueberries. walnuts. Cinnamon. And peanut butter. Someday’s with eggs for extra protein
@@geno5169 try to add onion slices.
Add some sauerkraut , and 1/2 l olive oil
A breakfast for the birds 🦢
Thank you. I'm an avid youtube watcher and I have to say this was one of the most helpful videos I have ever come across. Congratulations, very, very well done.
This was so informative, helpful and interesting. Really enjoyed this, thanks!
Just found your channel. Love it! Great content and you are absolutely adorable. Keep up the good work!
Wow, great experiment. Thank you for this video!
Very helpful and excellent video thanks!!
I love your videos they’re very knowledgeable. Your wisdom is very appreciated. I learned so much from you.
I learned once cooked you can to store the leftovers for breakfast the next day , I’ve been practicing the dash meal plan for three weeks now and steel cut oats keeps me satiated for hour it’s incredible.
Thanks.
Just switched over from old fashioned rolled to steel cut oats. EZ bring 3:1 water : oats to a boil, turn off and let sit overnight. I add protein and good fat in the form Chia and coconut oil for the boil. Later I add fresh peeled ginger, and handful walnuts and soft boiled egg. I have also added kefir (acid) to oats after cooling to decrease phytates and have even put back in fridge to increase "resistant starch" content. My 1 cup batch is good for 3 -4 breakfasts.
Awesome thanks for sharing this!
coconut oil is not a healthy fat
Very informative.Thanks
Wow! So well and intelligently presented, and for a bonus, both charming and beautiful! You had me at "Let's Science it..."!
This is such a great experiment!
I eat oat groats as my oatmeal every day (cooked in large batches ahead of time, then microwaved in the morning)! Would love to see the graph for that. Great video!
Thanks for showing the difference between the different types of oats. Was looking for this informaion for a long time.
Hello, Lara! Really love your video and valuable contents that I can apply to my kids! Would cooking oatmeal the day before and reheating it reduces the glycemic responses? Thanks in advance for your answer!
very informative video, thank you
Hi there - thanks for a helpful video!
Maybe this is a rookie question but it's a question that's so rookie that I can't find the answer anywhere... is there a difference between cooked vs uncooked? Because I eat uncooked rolled oats all the time. I'm trying to work out if it'd be better for my activity levels etc to eat them cooked.
great video ty so much this was well appreciated.
Thanks!
Thank you, very informative!
I use organic rolled oats and add milk blueberries walnuts and flaxseeds. Stay full for a long time!
Where have you been all my life, with your thoughtful, sciencey, nutrition content? I'm all in! Also, I hope you have a video on your CGM, as I've really wanted to find a way to incorporate one in my life without a $$$ subscription, as my body has always reacted strongly to sugar (which I haven't had for decades now) and different carbs.
Awesome video!!! Highly entertaining and educational!!
My mom and I were eating steel cut oats and we were like “what’s the difference between steel, rolled, and instant”
This video answered that and taught so much more!!
I especially found the dog cute!!
I look forward to checking out your other videos!!
Thank you for putting this together!!!
I live in Ireland so my mother always bought pinhead oats, which I think are steel cut. I didn't even try instant until I was an adult lol
Thank you , that was really helpful
Thank you!
That was neat, thank-you. I'm a T2 (saxagliptin/metformin) ten years now, 71yrs old and a runner. I 'usually' have All Bran with Bran Buds/psyllium, but do like a cup of old fashioned oatmeal. There is always chatter about the efficacy of oatmeal controlling BG levels. Really enjoyed this. Refined carbs are poison in my book.
You're so lovely, thanks for the information :)
Love this channel ❤
One thing to consider...since studies have shown that eating oats has positive effects on your insulin sensitivity beyond the actual meal, it's possible that doing the experiment with a longer period between the various types of oats would result in a more dramatic contrast. It would be interesting to repeat the experiment in reverse, starting with the instant. In any case this is an awesome experiment that I think I need to try myself! God bless.
Raisins & Spice was my go to but loved Strawberries & Cream and Peaches & Cream, I now eat steel cut. 😊
Really interesting
I eat oats, peanuts, vegetables, cheese, and cajun seasoning for breakfast every day.
I don't get hungry again until supper.
Love your videos!
Great, well presented information without the hype and hysteria around oats right now.
Great video
Thank you that was really useful...
Thank you
Not surprised by your results. I gave up on Old fashioned and Steel Cut because of cooking time, and I figured since I was cooking them until mushy they were probably going to digest faster anyway...
Love me some oatmeal! My pre-workout meal!
Oatmeal should be labelled ORGANIC, to ensure dangerous chemicals have not been sprayed on them during the growing season
Glyphosate!! "It's not the gluten, it's the GLYPHOSATE!!"
Bobs Red Mill has a great organic old fashioned oatmeal. 😊
Thanks... very informative! I make all of my oatmeal for the week on Sunday--throw it in a pot w/ a little water and, voila, they're done in 3 mins!
Batch cooking is great!
I soak my steel cut oats overnight in the amount of water they need to cook in, then in the morning I steam in a double boiler for about 20 minutes. This saves time and they are so much more edible this way, softer and I cook enough for 2 or 3 days at a time. Your study proved exactly what my body tells me, steel cut provide more satiety, especially with hemp seeds and walnuts added.....and organic cream of course!
Peaches and cream. No way
Cinnamon and raisins. With a sprinkle of brown sugar. Now thats a childhood favorite
I use organic oat bran. I cook it with savory herbs and or with veggies! Sometimes I add sesame seeds and or ground almonds.
I have and eat steel cut, original, and instant with added fruit (no flavored) on hand, but always feel a bit guilty when I eat instant oatmeal. Thank you for this video! Subscribed.
I cook up a prepared portion of steel cut oats, some multi whole grain, ground flax and wheat bran cooked every morning. top it off with cinnamon. no sugars. best 'medicine' and natural laxative. might be less expensive than prepared cereals in boxes. much healthier.
Would you compare oat bran with oatmeal? Also, oat bran vs. flaxseed meal?
One thing that I have found out over the many years of consuming oats for breakfast:
Oats are for horses.
Bacon, eggs, milk juice and a few pieces of fruit tends to keep me sustained until the late afternoon of regular activity. I am 72 years old. Doing great.
However, you, of course may have different results.
Try ditching the fruit for even better results!
Love this
I started eating organic rolled oats for breakfast a few months after experiencing various gut issues on and off for more than a decade. It almost instantly supported my gut health. After about a month I started eating low carb breakfast instead, or did intermittent fasting, and within two weeks my gut severally objected. So I went to my organic rolled oats oatmeal breakfast and my gut was fine again.
After another couple of weeks I couldn't get the organic rolled oats so was forced to use instant oats, or porridge oats as they are called here, and it took me about a week to realise that I was snacking or eating something more within an hour after breakfast, every single day.
As soon as possible I went back to the organic rolled oats and the cravings stopped again.
I eat mine with honey and cinnamon, sometimes sometimes with berries, and I only use water to cook them in. No milk of any kind.
I stay full for about 4 hours on roughly 1-1 1/4 cup uncooked oats.
The difference between the two types of oats was huge for me.
You left out the most important consideration before nutrient and fiber: ORGANIC, MEANING WITHOUT TOXIC AMOUNTS OF ROUNDUP(glyphosate) killer herbicide
Organic still uses pesticides.
What is the change in GI/GL if the oats are cooked and then cooled before you eat them (Hot or cold)? Resistant starch would suggest that the oats that are steamed before they are rolled develop more resistant starch and therefore the blood sugar rise would be more limited which your results might suggest as why the curves are not as pronounced. @Lara Hyde I'd be very curious about your take on this. Thank you for this information!
Definitely oats are very beneficial and quick meals to make, i use True Elements whole oatmeal
Well this explains one thing you might not have set out to answer when doing this experiment: IE why im always even more hungry less than 2 hours after eating rolled oats...
I always assumed the high fiber would help stretch out the glycemic fall. I love oatmeal but have to pair it with something else that has fat or else it leaves a 'pit in my stomach' (as my mom used to say). I actually decided for me its more trouble than it's worth to eat if I dont have some milk or something to add to it.
I am so glad you touched on time investment. Steel cut oats are disagreeable to me because of the texture when fully cooked, but really it is the time it takes to cook them that kills it for me.
I connect an appliance timer to a cheap crockpot. I put 1/4 cup of steel cut oats and 1 cup of water in the crockpot the night before. Then at 3:30 AM, appliance timer turns on my crockpot, and the mixture starts to cook. And by 6AM, my steel cut oats are ready to eat. -This has worked for me for over 14 years.
Would have loved to see you compare oat bran to the others in your test. I mix oat bran with chia, raisins, banana, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and pineapple. Add some cinnamon and vanilla, and put a weeks worth of breakfast in the fridge.
i really APPRICIATE YOUR EFFORT
I’ve been cooking my uncooked oatmeal in my microwave. With unsweetened almond milk or water. Yes it has alot of carbs. That’s why I don’t do oatmeal much during the week
So my oatmeal mix that I make with quick cooking steel cut , old fashioned rolled , and instant oats should be a good combo ? 😃 i like the varying textures 😁
Do you use rye/barley/other oats to increase fibers other good diverse bugs ??
You most likely did not see much difference between the three types because you aren't diabetic and your insulin/sugar response is excellent. Being type 2, my response to 1-minute oats plus Benefiber plus Ceylon cinnamon has sadly been much more severe.
It was the same for me until I lost weight. Now that I am a healthy weight it doesnt really matter what oats I choose to consume. The only factor that really affects my BG in a positive way when eating oats is if I load up on fruit as well.
Right. When I was diagnosed T2, I lost 50lbs by going with far smaller servings, no sugar - including hidden sugars - no grains, no starchy vegetables, no fruit. Even so, just one small serving of oats in any form rocketed my glucose level.
Every person needs to monitor their blood glucose after meals. Diabetes isn't the same with all people. In many cases, we are not diagnosed until many years have passed with the desease.
NOTE: I found that ALL the information given to me by my GP was false. The food choices were wrong, the science flawed. It was biased towards the goal of weight loss, which was fine, but not specific to blood sugar control.
The two may be related, but they are not the same. Eat for blood glucose control and the weight will fall, But, eat for weight control and you'll continue with spikes and failure - eventually resulting in T1.
@@user-fu9vj9ix3g Unfortunately, I found I can't completely cut out oatmeal from my diet. I've been eating it (enhanced with fiber powder) almost everyday for over 10 years as it really helped with IBS and basically eliminated it. The new plan is to switch to regular slow cooked oats and to eat it mid-afternoon in smaller batches before strength training sessions.
That’s why real scientists use more than one person in tests
@@user-fu9vj9ix3g ultimately the idea is you somehow need to get your health to the point of recovery. Over the past 6 months with myself ive seen my BG go down, then back up, and then some major spikes, and back down to all time lows.
The main thing is that weight loss, but then consistency in what you eat. Dont be afraid of sugar, but just be aware of it. Spikes into the 120-140 are not unusual with us T2s when trying to control overall BG. Spikes are just that: spikes, and shouldnt necessarily dictate your path to recovery.
Thank You! Very interesting that it's not the best, but not the worst. I don't eat cereal period. I prefer eggs, cheese and veggies. Love Kimchi if you can find it home-made. Sauerkraut is another option if you can't find a good source of Kimchi. I eat it daily, because most yogurt is sugar and highly processed food. Just subscribed
Quaker Oats have some of the highest glysophate content - Roundup pesticide. Good to do the homework to avoid the pesticide.
BIG FOOD and Pharma killing us all... in cahoots!!
At my grocery store, steel-cut oats are on the top shelf cost twice as much or more. House-brand old fashioned are on the bottom shelf and a much better buy.
any thoughts on the use of oat bran ?
Very informative, thank you. 4-5 times a week I eat rolled oats with chia, flax, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, goiji, cinnamon, honey, and fresh papaya 😋
yum
In Denmark we eat oatmeal cooked, but also raw with milk or plant milk. No soaking. What is most healthy? Cooked or raw?
Where I'm from oats aren't normally cooked, my family just hydrate them a few minutes, pourout the water then add new water and/or milk then blend it all together for a cold drink
Does it influence the nutritional value?
I make my smoothies with rolled oats, blueberries, sesame seeds, flaxseed oil, whey powder and banana. ❤
Put a spoon full of cocoa powder in your oats, it's very good for your skin and blood circulation.
Thank you so much for the video. And I have a question, please: what about lectins on oats, do the other benefits overtake the what lectins can do?
Good question - there actually isn't an evidence that lectins are harmful for humans. Lectin containing foods are some of the healthiest plants to include as the foundation of a diet, including beans, fruit, veggies, and whole grains like oats. One less thing to worry about!
I cook oat bran in Bain marie triple time each time I remove it from Bain Marie and mixed with olive oil and use it with my favorite dish instead of rice or bread .in North Africa Morocco when the heat climbs to 100 we mix with grasses fed fermented butter milk to cool you down and stay full
Is it healthier to eat soaked or cooked steel cut oates|?
I eat my old fashioned oatmeal w/ raw honey, & walnuts & a small amount of milk. I do not actually cook the oats, but I mix w/ boiling water, and it is chewy. Is there a health problem that I don’t care for my oats cooked, or any other part of my recipe? I actually love it.
I think you should try overnight soaking if you dnt want to cook it
Please do review on broken wheat
Oatmeal made with almond milk instead of water is very good
I like uncooked oats flakes (instant oats) with cold milk. Requires no cooking time, tastes yummy.
This also works for old fashioned oats if you let it sit in the fridge for about 5 minutes. I eat it with unsweetened soy milk. I wonder what the glycemic response numbers are for eating oats cold.
I love love love uncooked old fashioned oats!!!🎉
Really great approach and well balanced. I definitely have to second the point that nobody eats oatmeal alone. Combining it with fats and protein in the morning is a huge way to change the glycemic response. I eat oatmeal most mornings but I also include avocado, eggs/egg whites, and fruit. Super satiating! That along with some resistance training in the morning is an incredible way to build muscle and improve satiety.
How to cook oats
@@ramsaroopramoutar6785 Hi! I prefer to just microwave them in some almond milk or water. I don't have alot of time so that's an easy way to do it or there are some amazing baked oatmeal recipes!
Question, do you have your oatmeal prior to working out or do you have it as a post-workout meal?
@@Curlwithshirl Hi Shirley! Yeah I usually have them post workout because I workout first thing in the morning (only about 4 days a week of lifting). They would be great for either along with a good source of protein!
I used to eat oatmeal all the time. Growing up and being a runner. Then I tried keto.that diet freaked my out from carbs.I stopped doing keto. I eat oatmeal once a week. Someday’s with eggs for my protein
Hi!! Love your videos! What do think about people who make oat flour, oat milk, or just like oatmeal bars and things like that, do hey have the same effect as eating oatmeal?
Great question! My guess is that it would have a lot to do with what remains of the food matrix. Oat flour would be all ground up and lose its whole grain structure so the carbs would likely be absorbed fasted than oatmeal, though it would still have a higher fiber content than refined white flour so that's a bonus! With oat milk, I think you'd only be getting the oat compounds that can dissolve in water which would help give the beverage some thickness, but would lack much of the fiber. Oatmeal bars can be great but watch out for heaps of added sugar - that's another situation where making them yourself gives you more say in how much added sugar goes in.
Most oats are sprayed with roundup. Even Bob Mills. Lee oat groats don't have roundup.
@@peace1108 And glyphosate
I just discovered your channel today. This video about oatmeal caught my eye as I am thinking about trying oatmeal again to help regulate my Type 1 Diabetes. I like oatmeal, but it tended to spike my sugars and have stayed away from it for many years. With the toppings you suggest, I think they may help slow down the spiking. Also, what kind of dog is Elliot? He is so handsome and adorable. Is he a poodle?
Yes a standard poodle! I know I'm biased, but he's the best.
i suggest you take IGG Food Allergy test , avoid everything in red and yellow list
@@peptabyte @CindyPurses just saw this comment about IgG food tests - they're actually a marker of exposure as opposed to an indicator of food sensitivity and don't offer any valid insight into food sensitivity. I dug into the science of these tests here ua-cam.com/video/Pvh9GEjf_KY/v-deo.htmlsi=zpM9IfYPoqOYBhsh
I've done similar CGM monitoring after eating oat groats, and observed a quick spike in blood glucose like in this video for steel-cut oats.... How could groats -- which should be the most healthy form of oat -- still be spiking? My cooking method: a bit 2 parts oats, 3 parts water, a pinch of turmeric, a quick boil, followed by resting covered for a few hours. Then into the fridge at least overnight. So, my groat meals were actually cold and presumably with some level of resistant starch.
The answer is this: when oat groats cook, some starch leaks out and then coats the groat. Starch has a high glycemic index. If I rinse the cooked groats, the water runs "milky" at first and eventually clear. These washed groats do not cause a glucose spike... but rather a more modest bump... at least for me. Although I haven't calculated the area under the curve, it's visually tiny and conforms to the expectation in the video that less processing should result in less area under the curve... especially after rinsing the cooked groats.
Every clip said eating oatmeal would make eater full and don't want to eat more but this won't happen to me. I don't feel full and still want some food extra. I have 8 table spoon of rolled oat and mix with almond mike on low heat, nothing else. I loved oatmeal and have it for dinner to lower my cholesterol for next blood test in November.
Good video, no reason to distrust your personal results over a study that may have some sort of unverifiable bias. However, it would be better to just eat and then go about your normal routine which is what people really do and therefore the results would be valid.
I eat raw dry oats, usually steel cut. Yes I eat them with a spoon plain, or sprinkle them on salads, beans, etc. How does this affect the glucose response?
What about if I eat it raw, uncooked?
It would be interesting to see if whole oat groats are better for blood sugar control than steel cut oats. You touch briefly on why they are not more widely consumed. They take a half an hour or more to cook, much longer than steel cut oats. I can just soak my steel cut oats in cold water overnight and they are ready to eat.
I start a Crock pot of oat groats the night before. Organic oat groats are the best possible option. I still have other kinds at different times.
honestly, im type 2 and the most important aspect of my BG control is the fact that I lost 25lbs (190lb down to 165lb). There is not a single other factor that has had as dramatic of an effect.
Oats in general were a useful tool in regulating my BG, but they are just that. If you eat oats regularly you are probably already well on your way to controling your BG. Oats will keep you full, are low calorie, lower BG spikes, help keep you very regular. If you could only eat instant oats you'd still be ahead of the game.
Why are you showing Quaker oatmeal that contains a lot of poisonous glysophate?
I don't know if you or anyone will see this. I just found your channel. I had a question. I can only eat mushy food like mash potatoes, blended squash etc. Mainly everything has to be blended. I wanted to make oatmeal. A kind I had once at a hotel brunch. The oats were so very soft and the oatmeal was mushy, so to say. So basically not much chewing needed. I wanted to know if anyone knows which kind of oats would be the softest and how I would prepare, rather pre prepare ahead before I actually make the oatmeal. Another question is about energy balls/oatmeal balls. I've been wanting to make them but there is no way I could eat the oats as it's no cook. My idea was to pulverize the oats and add them to the peanut butter and honey. Would anyone know which kind of oats would be best to use pulverized. NOT sure if the energy balls would stay together this way but need to try. Ty in advance if anyone knows. Great video, very interesting.
I use bobs red mill thick old fashion oats. I pulse my raw oats in my nutribullet and soak them over night with water. I add cold press sugar free whey protein isolate to the oatmeal and add a bit of buttermilk bc it has goof fats and probiotics. I microwave for a few minutes just to get it warm enough to eat. Don't overheat because they whey protein can get clumpy. I've done this in the past and didn't mind the clumps but to each their own.
So this is my version of protein rich oats. This is easily 30g of protein. U can add fruits etc if u like. I have a hard time digesting fiber and I found adding probiotics to oatmeal helpsm
I hope this might help with ur question.
@@d626. Thank you.
To be consistent, you need to use the same cooking method with the same duration. If the steel cut stays chewy with a shorter time cooking so be it. Or do the experiment with raw oats (the healthiest choice since heat transforms starch into glucose).
What about all the information regarding anti-nutrients in oatmeal? True? False?
Thanks for your video, I like the instant oatmeal because it's more convenient and faster. I also notice it satisfies hunger and makes my stomach feel better too. Why don't places sell oatmeal like to order like you do with hamburgers etc? It'd be a healthier choice.
I'm with you - I wish more places offered whole grain options like oatmeal. Overall I wish that whole grain was the default instead of refined grains!
Starbucks
Mix .33 cups quick oats, 1/2tbs of chia seeds, add equal amount of water, cook in micro wave. Put half tablespoon of butter on top after cooked, let sit while it melts, ad 1/2 tablespoon of favorite granola, and cinnamon, finish with milk of your choice, usually 1/4 cup for me. Eat and enjoy.
Never revealed the sugar amount use
Always buy organic to avoid toxic poison sprays.
How about oats bg22? What is that?
does it mater if its cooked or not
Does anyone who doesn't tolerate gluten well eat oats? How does it make you feel?
