Some oats myths

Most of us who think about healthy food and healthy breakfast have oats in our menu. Here is a quick note that most of us don't pay attention to.

We use (atleast I do) instant oatmeal instead of regular steel cut / rolled etc. Yes, it give us similar amount of whole grain and fiber and other nutrition but the downside is it is loaded with Sodium. And all those flavorful oats have lot of sugar as well. So, along with the nutrition we are still getting lot of Sodium and Sugar. Conclusion #Fail.

Suggestion: Get those standard oats and cook them right. How? I will get back to every one when I figure out some tasty and quick way to cook them for breakfast in the morning when we are always late and choose to skip breakfast or grab a muffin.
