Oats are packed full of health benefits and have been proven to help lower cholesterol and improve heart health. But expert Professor Tim Spector has warned that not all oats are created equal
Professor Tim Spector has warned about the significance of choosing the correct oats, which are linked to a myriad of health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, bettering blood sugar control, and reducing hypertension.
The co-founder of ZOE, a health-centric app, and author behind the 'Food For Life' cookery book, Professor Spector addressed question on his Instagram: "Are oats healthy or not? It's a question I often get asked, and it depends on your own body, how you respond to sugars, and also on which ones you pick."
He explained that the secret ingredient in oats is beta-glucan, which forms a lining in our intestines, preventing fats from being absorbed rapidly, as reported by the Express. According to the doctor, these choices trump refined 'instant' oats, which, with just a 3g fibre content per 100g, are absorbed more swiftly and could lead to elevated blood sugar levels.
