"The oat fiber itself has been shown to act as a prebiotic, boosting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. So, between the lack of animal protein, lack of animal fat, and bursting at the seams with prebiotic fiber, it’s no wonder that oatmeal diets grew to become part of the clinical routine in the treatment of diabetes."

@fullyabstract@fosstodon.org Interesting. But if they find out how much butter I put on my oatmeal they might tell me to stop.

@fullyabstract@fosstodon.org The early historical “evidence” was mostly nonsense. Joslin and Herrick were treating young people with type 1 diabetes. The rest of this piece talks about people with type 2 diabetes, which is completely different pathology.
