There was information that oatmeal may not be the most useful food for the human body. Chinese professor Yang Yuexing together with a team of researchers established a certain connection between oatmeal and its species.

Experts noted that it is not oatmeal itself that causes harm to the body, but supplements. For example, the presence of wheat bran and flavorings significantly reduces the usefulness of this product. The plus of oatmeal is the fact that it has water-soluble dietary fibers. However, not all cereals on the shelves can boast of such an advantage.

If oatmeal has a sweet taste, it means that there are very few oat flakes themselves. Flavorings and sugars were added here. Experts also identified those types of cereals that should not be used for food. The first point is flakes with a non-standard shape and various additives. Rings and stars were highlighted here.

The second type of cereal was called oatmeal with cereals. It is noted that despite the small amount of fat, an increased level of sugar is observed in such a product. And the experts called instant oatmeal the last type of cereal.

Also, experts talked about the benefits of oatmeal for the body. So, for example, such food can reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the blood.

In addition, oatmeal has a high nutritional value, and the increased amount of carbohydrates in this product slowly increases the level of glucose, which increases insulin sensitivity.
