1970 it was the inside of an orange peel
1980 it was Acidophilus milk.
And so on....
They always the words May - Could - Might , LOL

On the family farm, we had about 2 square miles in oats. Remainder in winter wheat and oil seeds eg sunflowers. When I was young, we planted for alphafa.
I can blather forever on varieties, rotation after other crops (oats are very good scavengers of nutrients) and raising them for forage as opposed to cereal grain stock.
The N (as in 1 is small) but I eat them as hot cereal and cold cereal most mornings. They fortify my meat loaf. Sometimes I make haggis.
Biophysicist/CV physiologist in later life. I’ll have to look at the research protocol and analysis. Until i do so, my guess is that eating them is infinitely better than not eating them.
