You should tell that to almost every successful endurance athlete on earth that eats oats for breakfast all the time. I’m sure they would love to hear your TikTok educated opinion on how oats are poison. [/quote]

Standard nutritional advice doesn't really apply to successful endurance athletes. Anyone who is undertaking intense physical exertion for multiple hours each day can probably remain quite metabolically healthy while centering complex carbohydrates at mealtime.

For the rest of us, you'd be disappointed to see what a continuous glucose monitor showed after you ate a big bowl of steel-cut oatmeal. Now, make it half a cup of oats topped with nut butter, eaten in the morning rather than evening, and if you are indeed a metabolically healthy average (not professional athlete) adult, you'll probably only see your blood sugar go up twenty points or so. Not bad!

But most people eating steel cut oats aren't having a half cup with nut butter. They're having closer to a whole cup with maybe some milk and brown sugar or  maple syrup. Hello, spike to 170 mg/dL![/quote]
