Oats are now considered a top 10 super food

Oats and food containing oats have long been recognized for their health benefits. There is also strong scientific evidence that oats make a significant contribution to human health. Here are a few compelling examples:

Oats contain a higher concentration of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, thiamin, folacin and Vitamin E than any other unfortified whole grain, such as wheat, barley, corn or rice. Oats also have a high Vitamin B1 content, which is required by the body for carbohydrate metabolism.

Oats contain a high percentage of desirable complex carbohydrates, which have been linked to reduced risk of colon, breast, and prostate cancer, better management of diabetes, and fewer bowel problems.

Oats contain one of the best amino acid profiles of all grains. Amino acids are essential proteins that help facilitate optimum functioning of the body.

Oats are low in fat. Researchers agree that nearly everyone benefits from eating a low-fat diet regardless of age, race or gender.

Oats are an excellent source of dietary fibre. They consist of approximately 55% soluble fibre and 45% insoluble fibre. The American Heart Association states that oats "have a greater proportion of soluble fibre than any other grain."

The lipids present in oats contain a good balance of essential fatty acids, which has been linked with longevity and general good health.

In 1996, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that in a study of more than 40,000 men, individuals with the highest levels of fibre consumption experienced a 35% reduction in the risk of heart attack compared to those with lower levels. There is scientific agreement that soluble fibre from oat products when added to a low-saturated fat, low-cholesterol diet may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Tufts University researchers reported research results in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showing that eating a diet rich in oats significantly reduced both blood pressure and cholesterol.
