Oatmeal has been called a breakfast staple, a heart-healthy superfood, and even a survival food that sustained generations. But what’s the real story behind this humble grain? In this episode of Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way, Caroline Thompson uncovers the fascinating history of oatmeal, from its rise as a famine food in Europe to its modern status as a marketing darling of the food industry.We’ll explore both sides of the oatmeal debate: is it an affordable, fiber-rich food that supports heart health, or is it a gut-irritating, blood sugar-spiking grain filled with lectins and antinutrients? Featuring insights from leading voices like Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, Gary Brecka, Dr. Ardis, Dr. Barbara O’Neill, and Dr. Steven Gundry, this episode digs into whether oatmeal is fueling your health—or silently draining your energy.We’ll also talk about the role of lectins in oats, the dangers of glyphosate contamination, and how traditional preparation methods like soaking and sprouting may transform this ancient food into something far more digestible. If you’ve ever wondered whether oatmeal belongs in your diet, this episode may change the way you look at your breakfast bowl forever.oatmeal history - is oatmeal healthy - oatmeal lectins - dr eric berg oats - dave asprey oatmeal - gary brecka breakfast myths - dr ardis food deception - dr barbara oneill oats - dr gundry lectins - oatmeal gut health - survival foods podcast - chasing eden podcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
