uncooked rolled oats ok to eat?

[confused1234]

i know eating raw oats is pretty bad for you, but is eating uncooked rolled oats bad for you. for those of you who dont know rolled oats are essentially just steamed and flatened.

I used to eat uncooked rolled oats all the time with other various cereals for breakfast. I didn't notice any problems like my colon falling out or anything odd, so I would assume it's fine... hehe

I eat em every morning with skim milk and no sugar. Also a bunch of fruit in a blender (with all the pulp). About ten minutes after I finish my coffee I drop a soft-serve while I read the paper.

Absolutely not harmful. Kinda dry, but not bad.

Haha. I know how you feel, man. I eat a large smoothie every night. Soft serve FTW

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but it seems that he's referring to a different kind of soft serve.

I'm a weightlifter and I eat rolled oats daily for breakfast in their "uncooked" variety (straight from the bag)
I mix half a cup with some milk and whey with other stuff. Usually let it sit 15 mins so it can soften up a little.

I noticed that if I ate them soon as I put in the milk, it would be kinda tough. Also, if i didn't chew them thoroughly (chew it very well) it would act as one crazy-ass (pun intended) laxative.

Yeah, I get what he was referring to... hehe. My response was at what I'm pretty sure he was meaning.

I eat them all the time. They are healthy for you.

Why eat them uncooked? They are so much better if you microwave them with some skim milk for 1.5 mins. Porridge FTW.

 

[jadinolf]

Yes, especially if you are a horse. 🙂
