Do Not Eat this For Breakfast...

Do you eat oatmeal for breakfast? While it certainly can be a solid, healthy option, most are heavily processed and absolutely TERRIBLE for you.

For example, I was just at the store and took a look at a brand of "heart-healthy" instant 
oatmeal (their claim), the "Maple and Brown Sugar" flavor.

First, there is no maple in it. There is also no brown sugar in it. Instead, it's packed with 
artificial ingredients, colors, and flavors. It's also packed with regular sugar and I've even 
seen some varieties with the "flavor" gel packets full of high fructose corn syrup...talk 
about royally screwing up oatmeal!

This product also has a significantly higher glycemic index than regular "old fashioned 
oatmeal" due to it's instant nature where it's been pre-cooked via high-heat processing. 
This high heat processing also robs the oatmeal of many important vitamins and 
minerals, making it an overall less nutritious product.

So, if you're going to go with oatmeal, please stay away from the instant, processed, 
sugar-laden versions.

Instead, the best choice is plain ol' steel cut oats. While they take a few extra minutes 
to cook, it's certainly worth it for the lower glycemic index, extra fiber, and greater 
vitamin and mineral content...all while avoiding all that processed garbage. 

Steel cut oats will also leave you feeling fuller, longer, and you'll probably find that you 
enjoy the more firm texture and nuttier flavor a LOT more than mushy instant oatmeal 
anyway.
