Porridge Oats sucks up blood fats?

  • Thread starter Thread starter serenity648

Just a quick thought; most general dietary advice is mainly for non-diabetics.
If you can tolerate a nice big bowl of tasty porage in the morning it may well lower your cholesterol a bit.
However if you are a T2 and sensitive to it then the blood glucose boost is likely to do you more damage than any lowering of cholesterol does you good.

But my google search says there are only 53 cals in 78g of dry oats, so what else is being included in the above figures in the article?

Thanks @douglas99 ! I tried to find the WHO data on mortality and cholesterol and faffed about for ages on the WHO site but couldn't locate it. If you've got the precise URL I'd appreciate it as I'd like to play about with the data myself. I'd didn't look too closely at the numbers DR H. quoted and tended to concentrate on the narrative. If she's saying the correlation coefficient is 0.7, and not -0.7 then isn't this is a positive rather than negative relationship? In which case she's got the wrong end of the stick.

Only the image from the web I'm afraid.
