Flashback Friday: Which Is a Better Breakfast—Cereal or Oatmeal?

The remarkable impact of the structure of food beyond nutritional content or composition.

In case you missed my previous cereal video, check out The Worst Food for Tooth Decay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-w.... It’s crazy how the same product can have such different effects on the body, based on its processing. Beyond just focusing on whole rather than refined grains, the wholiest of all is intact grains. Instant oats are better than powdered oats; rolled oats are better than instant; steel-cut oats better than rolled; and intact oat groats are the best!

Check out this great cooking video of my Morning Grain Bowls (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/reci...) from The How Not to Die Cookbook (http://nutritionfacts.org/cookbook).
