That’s a very good point. I’m sure whomever packaged the good part about oats would be looking for a healthy profit, too. Thank you for summarizing.

Thank you for doing the hard work for me! It sounds as if there is no obvious downside to adding oats to your diet, and very likely benefits. I am sold.

I don’t hate oats by the way!

Well okay, but how long does it take to go back to where you were if you stop?

What do you do here? Periodically do an oat cleanse? Try to replicate the effects of the oats in a medicine or dietary supplement that can be administered?

Looks like Francis Bourgeois to me. He’s one of the most harmless people I’ve ever seen.

I feel bad that I’m not prepared to try to read and comprehend this entire document.

What I got so far is that people on a diet of oats boiled in water three times a day saw a significant change in cholesterol levels. People who ate it once a day saw potentially beneficial changes to their gut biome but no significant change to cholesterol levels.

I’m not eating water-boiled oatmeal three times a day, but if there is a more palatable message here (see what I did there?), I think it perhaps validates that oats really are good for you.

Love that subtext.

I’m not in the UK, so there are probably years of nuance that I’m missing, but it felt like they forgot about actual labour voters immediately after the election.

Are progressives or real, avowed socialists so unelectable today that the Labour party has come to this?

I’m thinking back to my youth, when in honesty I didn’t pay nearly enough attention to politics, but my thought was that they need more Tony Benn or Ken Livingstone than Tony Blair - say whatever else you like about those guys, but I don’t remember them being apologetic for being who they were.

That was my first thought!
