“Oatmeal doesn’t give you diabetes.”


What are you even talking about???
Oatmeal is digestible carbs and any digestible carbs give you diabetes. Not even mentionning its whole list of anti-nutrients, the most notable of which is phytic acid.

Why do you think the “experts” in oatmeal recommend to soak it overnight? To (hopefully) reduce the load of phytic acid thus (hopefully) reduce the toxicity of oatmeal, while lowering even more its glycemic index, making more severe insulin peaks.
“Healthy” food, yeah, sure...
