Oats and Cholesteral - How Oats Work

Oats and Cholesteral - How Oats Work
Yeah it is biased, but Quaker Oats has put together a pretty cool description of how oatmeal may reduce cholesterol.

Super Short version:
"Think of rolled oats as tiny sponges that soak up cholesterol and carry it out of the bloodstream."


As an aside, Oatmeal is really a staple in my diet. I have it virtually for all meals--as a cereal, mixed with mashed potatoes, mixed with frozen squash, or as a desert. Truly one of my favorite foods!
