oatmeal is a really funny one.
The quick cook oatmeal hits your blood stream like a hammer... Rapid increase in blood sugar, very high spike of insulin, then blood sugar crash.
the traditional slow cook, is a long slow burn... trickles into blood stream slowly over hours. very low insulin response.
I'm calling BS on this one.
Do you know how to make "quick cook" oats?
Put ordinary slow cook oats in a blender and pulse for 30 seconds to a minute, then cook it.
There is no difference.
Now if they were talking about the packets with all the added sugar, etc. that's a different story.
