LOL, probably...funny.
For years, I heard you need eat oatmeal, you need to eat oatmeal, you need to eat oatmeal...lowers your cholesterol...lowers your cholesterol...lowers your cholesterol.
So I resisted. I have a history in my family with oatmeal. My dad was a career Naval Officer, we had six kids in our family, and my mom got breast cancer at a very young age.
My dad had to make breakfast for us when she was sick, an he made it so thick it was very nearly solid! And then, he used to put a drop of purple iodine on top of it, because that was the way it was done in the late Fifties/early Sixties...people needed iodine in their diets, so there was some additive he used, a little brown bottle with an eyedropper.
Heh, I was so bogued out about it, I didn’t enjoy oatmeal until some sixty years later!
But being the creature of habit I am, I get into work long before everyone else, so I began preparing oatmeal at work for breakfast, to have with my single cup of black coffee each day.
It’s my thing now.
I take a half cup of oatmeal, spread a little on the bottom of a paper bowl and put some cinnamon and Splenda, lay down another layer of oatmeal, a little more cinnamon and Splenda, pour the rest of the oatmeal on top, sprinkle a lot of raisins on top, and, using the small cup mode on my coffee maker at work, I put in the hot water. Then I put it in the microwave for 90 seconds...comes out perfectly!
Then I got Type II diabetes, and my doctor told me I had to eat something else for breakfast. I said “Really? You gotta be kidding me.”
Nope. They weren’t kidding.
I listen less to the medical research stuff you see all the time posted here, drink coffee, don’t drink coffee, eat eggs, don’t eat eggs, drink wine don’t drink wine...
Screw it. They don’t know what they are talking about, and I work in medicine! I’m just going to eat those things in moderation. If it kills me, it kills me!
That’s a great story.
My grandmother made oatmeal served with cream and sugar No cinnamon.
Grandpa ate the fat on meats. Granted this was in the 40s so no one was given info like today. Needless to say they both checked out at 75.
Still, do we really know?
I buy local honey at $25.00 a qt. Well worth it and last a decent time. No sugar!
I have to wonder about undistinguishable bugs they’re already pushing in some foods already. yuck!
Sounds like you will live a ripe old age.
Hopefully kicking up your heels all the way. ; -)
Removal of ‘zombie cells’ alleviates causes of diabetes in obese mice March 25, 2019
Since finding out about this just a couple of months ago I've yet to find any locally. I'll have to break down and buy some online. I don't want to be on meds the rest of my life which is what prompted my original search.
My clinic was quite impressed with my find. Nobody there had a clue and they were quite surprised at the date of the article.
