A single speaker argues oatmeal isn't the health food people think it is, pointing to phytic acid and blood sugar spikes as problems. The video compares oatmeal unfavorably to a homemade ice cream recipe.
One food that pisses me off is oatmeal, because oatmeal is peasant food. It's what they would feed the peasants just to keep them alive. But oatmeal sucks minerals out of your body because it's high in phytic acid and it spikes your blood sugar more than ice cream. So I would rather give my kids my recipe for ice cream that's high in good protein and high in good fat and high in even some sugar versus oatmeal. So it is not a superfood by any measure. It's just marketed as one because it costs two cents and you'll pay three bucks for it. If it's marketed as cold overnight oats with fairy sprinkles, I have no idea. I don't eat that crap. Hel. Have I shown enough disrespect for oatmeal?
