Soundbyte summary: Oatmeal has taken a bunch of hits in the media from glyphosate exposure to insulin spiking to being a grain. However, the reality is, if there is a danger from oatmeal – it’s from not eating it.
Topics include:
• What glyphosate is (and why it doesn’t really matter)
• Why understanding the role dosage plays in risk factors are important
• If oatmeal really is “the worst thing you can eat at breakfast” (and spiking your insulin)
• The value of the Glycemic Index
• Why we’re probably better off with oatmeal in our diet (including the benefits of soluble fiber)
