No wonder you've become so grouchy.

It's healthy. I don't eat "fatty" foods very often. My cholesterol numbers
are right where I want them to be, and without medications.

No disagreement that it's good for you. I tried over and over last winter
with the various types but just couldn't handle it. I do a cup of dry
puffed wheat and some yogurt (which took some time, but I now enjoy).

I don't know that it is true, but the claim for oatmeal is that it
absorbs "cholesterol" or fat, anyway, and keeps some of it from getting
into your bloodstream. I like puffed wheat, too, but I don't believe it
works as oatmeal does. Have you tried any of the low-fat yogurt drinks?
Not bad.

I did, but I like the 60 calorie yogurt cups better. When I remember to
stock up, I snack on them 3 or 4 times a day.

There is a new study out there that says that if you eat oatmeal and
have orange juice at the same time that it is like a double whammy in
a good sense:

Every Sunday I make a big pot of oatmeal, simply because the REAL
oatmeal is much better for you than instant, then I put in in
individual containers to last through the week, put it in the fridge.
Microwave it with a little lowfat milk, and it comes right back to
life! Now I have OJ with it every morning.

The studies on oatmeal and cholesterol show that raw oatmeal does a much
better job of cleaning you. So mix some raw into the yogurt and eat it that
way.
