The only thing that's depressing me is that one nutritionist on youtube says certain foods are bad for you and the other nutritionist says those foods are good for you. You all need to get together and figure a way to stop confusing normal people that want answers.

@@nankyahawa7986 you're point is invalid, i mean think about what this doc is saying. he says oatmeal is straight up poison . if it was really that bad don't you think 60 years would be enough to show some form of illness from it.....
The key to being healthy is to ignore what you read in the media and see on RUclips and just eat what you like in moderation. Clearly, don't eat the same things day in day out. We require balance, but the body is generally tolerant to most things.
You've recommended millet as a healthy alternative to oatmeal, but I just watched another video and the doctor said that millet is really bad for your thyroid. I'm really having a hard time finding foods that are healthy to eat. It seems there is something bad in everything. So, if breakfast cereal is bad, anything with sugar or made with flower is bad, in fact, all processed foods are bad, too much fruit is bad, bacon and eggs are bad, millet is bad, and now, oatmeal is bad, but maybe not as bad as the other things that I've mentioned. We have to eat something so considering the alternatives I guess oatmeal isn't so bad. What do you think? Also, I would love it if you would make a video showing what YOU ate for the entire day yesterday. This would give us an example of one entire day of completely healthy eating. 😀UPDATE 2/24 - Okay, I found a solution! It's oatmeal from - One Degree Organic Foods - It's organic oatmeal that is gluten free, sprouted rolled oats and it's certified glyphosate free and non GMO verified. I got it from Costco and it comes in 5 lb bags.
Everyone is biochemically different and individual and not one diet type or foods suits everyone. “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” I’m a Naturopathic doctor & I hear your voice. Well whatever you subscribe to Vegan, vegetarian, Paelo, keto or carnivore - just eat organic whole-food that’s in season and zero processed food, no packets, no tins, no pizza. And enjoy your whole food in season. Monitor your weight, bowel movements, sleep and energy - keep a food dairy and learn to listen to your own body and be your own Doctor. That’s my advise on all this RUclips nutrition garbage.
@@APBCTechnique I've been eating organic simple truth oats and thought it was healthy, but it's in packets. Also army's organic food but it's in packaging you speak against. Why no pizza? There's organic pizza. I'm actually crying after reading all this. 😢
You could try eating evolutionarily. That is, closer to how our bodies evolved to eat. Maybe try looking into archeologist and anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler's interviews. Or his eatlikeahuman blog.
Becareful because when they say a certain food is bad they usually mean in lab tested LARGE amounts over a LONG period of time, not normal amounts eaten in a regular meal pattern
The parameter can be simplified to insulin releasing foods and combos that release insulin. When you eat those foods, you will not be burning much fat because the hormone makes it so glucose is burned first. Oats fall under the category of insulin-stimulating.
My Grandgrandma lived till age of 101, she ate oats and potatoes all her life. She also ate a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, sauerkraut and buttermilk. Those last three she was doing by herself at home. She thin all her life, till her last days she also had a shot of Advocate almost everyday🙂
No, no, I'm calling BS on this. If she ate "lots of eggs" she would have died in her teens. The government tells us so. Your grandmother was either lying to you or...that wasn't your grandmother.
Our food supply was Way better then..everything now is tainted....she grew up with healthy gut, ie; healthy microbiome in her system becouse our soils were rich in minerals and vitamins...
Take everything this man says with a grain of salt. I eat a massive bowl of oats every day and I’m healthy as a horse. I’ve got a flat stomach, tons of energy, feel great and sleep great.

everything in moderation … this man literally says no to everything … at this point he’ll recommend air. He’s pretty much referring to chemical filled American foods. Here in Europe standards are different. I’ve always recognised the difference in taste in comparison to the USA.
To date I have questioned the advice of alleged professionals many times. Most of those have dropped dead. Oatmeal killed both of my grand parents, but they were a hundred years old before it finally did them in. All of my friends that loved lots of eggs and dead animals were gone in their 50s and 60s. I'm 75 and poisoning myself every day with oatmeal, blue berry's, ground Flax seed, Pumpkin seed, Chia seeds, Walnuts, Etc. But one thing I notice is I'm not jammed up all the time like my dead friends were.
Perfectly said. It’s called “balance” in our diets. While I do believe myself in eating oatmeal, like almost anything, it is not meant to be consumed by us, as Human Beings 7 days a week for breakfast.
oatmeal is not a poison as such. Its just an issue if your suffering gut issues. Unfortunately lots of people are suffering due to antibiotics killing off the gut microbiome diversity. I think another issues is the sunlight and the lack of exposure we are getting compared to outdoors people.
Thanks for making me beyond depressed. According to you pretty much everything we eat is toxic and killing us. You say the things other Dr's say are good to eat are bad. So what I take away from all this is it's impossible to live and I give up. 😢
Don’t give up. Prepare what you eat yourself. Nothing premade or processed. Get enough protein. Don’t eat sugar, except very occasionally. Take a multivitamin every day and an omega 3 supplement. Drink water. Exercise every day for a few minutes - whatever you enjoy most.
Just eat the foods your body evolved on for the past 2 million years. It's easier to get it "right" if you look at it that way. Do a bit of research. We started to get it "wrong" when we switched to mostly agricultural foods.
My dads eaten oatmeal for over 80 years and as an adult and his weight has never been more than 10 pounds out of his weight range. Until he turned 75 he was always 5'10" and 155lbs. He's shrunk now that he's 90, and is only 5'8" and 150lbs.
@@easyacademy8110 I watch several channels on diet and it is sad how much they disagree. The channel while appearing to give good advice seems to be related to a lot of scams. If you don't believe me just do a Google search for Dr Grundy and look at the Better Business Bureau. You will see a lot of complaints about his business practices. If you cannot trust his business practices, I don't think you can trust his advice either.
He is. Go watch the episode of Dr Mikes podcastt where he had this fool on. He says chocolate is as healthy as grapes, smoking increases your lifespan, etc
Dr. Gundry, I'm 70, 5'9" and weigh 140lbs. I weigh just a little more than when I was in high school. I'm one of those enviable people who has never had to struggle with weight gain. Some erroneously call it "a fast metabolism", but I just call it "lucky." You don't have to be a medical expert to understand that everybody has a unique metabolism. If eliminating oats from your diet has helped you to achieve weight loss and feel better, that's great, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that the same food that impacted you negatively will affect others in the same way. I'll take your warning with a grain of salt, which I'll most likely put on my next bowl of oatmeal.
Sorry but many of our parents and grandparents ate oatmeal every day and lived healthy lives into their 80s, 90s and beyond. Not sure why you keep villainizing it...
There is different layers of what is considered healthy. Some people think just because they are not diagnosed or on medication they are healthy, but others may consider being healthy when you optimize and push the limits to make your body as healthy and fit as theoretically possible for your given age/lifestyle/etc. also saying oats is bad doesn’t mean it’s as bad as other things, and that you still can’t make it through life eating them, it’s just become a popular health trend to eat oats, which is misleading in a way. There are people who smoke cigarettes and live “long healthy” lives but that doesn’t mean cigarettes are good.

I am a 67 year old power lifter and fitness trainer I have been eating oats for over 50 years. I don't drink protein powder I make homemade shake I use 3 tablespoons souk oats and honey and dates banana, and blueberries with buttermilk and various nuts. Last week I cycle 70 kilometers for four hours and I work out 4 times a week for two hours in the gym. I don't eat refine sugar and trans fat and I'm stronger than an 18 year boy in the gym. I eat oats in moderation and I'm healthy. People eat too much sugar and trans fat and junk food and many children are fat.
A question for Dr. Gundry: What is good to eat? In your videos you tell us about Negative effects of eating food (animal or plants) are we allowed to drink Water or that has negative effects on us.
If you review the video, you’ll hear he says that millet and sorghum are hull-free and lectin-free. sorghum grains can also be popped with hot ghee…they taste remarkably like popcorn.
Oatmeal soaked overnight unrefridgerated in vanilla almond milk (not the one minute) is one of the best foods I can eat for my stomach. I have eaten this for many years and am not overweight and almost never have any cavities. I buy 25 pd bags of organic oatmeal.
Do you know what almond milk (water) is made from and with? have a look at a u tube video "oatmilk is literally a scam"and tell me afterwards if you still consume almond milk.
@@ottifantiwaalkes9289 Have you ever done a Google search for Dr Grundy and Better Business Bureau? Try it. A lot of complaints about his sales practices. I don't think his diet advice is any better, since the reason for this channel is to drive sales of his products.
@@ottifantiwaalkes9289I heard that almond milk had cyanide in it. I also heard that if you're going to have almond milk then you are better off making it yourself but then again, it might still have cyanide in it. Dr sebi add almond milk in his diet guide but then later found out that almond milk has cyanide in it. That probably explains why I'm not able to tolerate almond milk that well.
BOTH of my maternal grandparents have eaten oatmeal all of their lives. They are both still alive, in their mid nineties, and STILL have the teeth they were born with. Also, neither of them have any health issues except for hypertension that did not begin until they hit 90 years old. I will continue to eat oatmeal as they have done, because their longevity has proven to me that oatmeal is just fine to consume.
Oatmeal made with hot water only and without added sugar is a great food for both gut and heart health. I've been eating it for a long time and my gut has never been healthier
There's a MASSIVE difference between organic steel cut (coarse in UK) oats compared to the generic and rolled oats generally on sale. As long as you soak the steel cut oats for about half an hour. I'm in the UK and our food standards are still high - at the moment....

For me oatmeal has been a miracle saver for my digestive. I have struggled all my life with IBS and it wasn't until I discovered what oatmeal could do that I got my digestive on the right track. I need to take a good probiotic, eat some sour-dough bread and take a small dose of Metamucil also everyday to totally fix it with a cherry on top. Oatmeal got me cruising and I'm very happy!
Some other doctors have advised that oatmeal is good for health, but this doctor says oatmeal is harmful to the human body. So what about the general public? Really confused 🤔
This is why people say be careful what you read on the internet. Or be careful of what you watch in this case. You can find plenty of video's that will encourage you to eat oatmeal from people who are nutritionists and health professionals. You can find videos like this one who will say the opposite. Oats are amazing for the body and digestive system and oatmeal is the undisputed champion when it comes to finding the best source of fiber. I've never known an unhealthy person who regularly ate oatmeal or quite frankly, ever ate it at all. There are plenty of proven benefits to eating oatmeal and every person I've ever met who did regularly eat oatmeal was in great shape and perfectly healthy. Sometimes common sense just has to lead the way. Oatmeal is definitely good for you.
Third video in a row now that I've watched demonizing Oatmeal. Only came to read the comment section and just like the other 2 videos, TONS of testimonials on how many years and decades people have been eating oatmeal and how good their health got after starting to eat it daily. It just never ends does it 😖
Well I feel for these positive comments ate oatmeal everyday for 30 days I got serious pain under my right upper ribcage, it was unbearable, since I stopped eating oats pain is going away. Got it First hand experience it is not good for me
@@Wealthy_Mystic it's a strange thing how different foods and even supplements affect different people. And from what I've read there's some nasty stuff in non organic oats but who knows, it may have nothing to do with it. I have all kinds of crazy reactions to certain foods AND supplements. I don't doubt what you're saying. I just don't think these claims should be such blanket statements as they are sometimes as everyone's body is different. Glad you got it figured out. It's tricky sometimes figuring that stuff out and what the culprit is when something starts going South in the body 😣
Red meat, fish, eggs, cheese, fermented products, and non-starchy vegetables. For animal products - organic fed, humanely raised, and wild-caught only. Use your common sense. For example, if you like pork but can't find "certified humane" and "organic" labels or farm-raised pork in your area, go for other meat like grass-fed beef. If you must eat sugar, pick sweet potatoes over grains (wheat, oats, rice) and fruits. You don't need to worry about lectins if you are 1) metabolically healthy, and 2) prepare those ingredients the right way.
My common sense says red meat, eggs, and cheese will all skyrocket your cholesterol lol not to mention red meat increases colorectal cancer risk @@lars2894
I dunno. I'll take this video with a grain of salt. The doctor failed to mention the positive attributes of oatmeal such as the effect on cholesterol, the soluble fiber, and it's ability to absorb up to 100 times it's weight in water. As a personal aside, my mother suffered terribly from morning sickness with her first 3 pregnancies. When I came along she had a doctor tell her to eat oatmeal, and it greatly helped that problem. She fed me much delicious oatmeal throughout her life.

Can’t be bad that’s for sure! It’s the instant non organic sugar loaded oatmeal that’s not good for anyone, even horses!
He is talking pure rubbish I eat it everyday since my childhood and I'm not fat it's actually stops you from overeating as it keeps you full for longer
Nothing is absolute we all have friends that have a terrible diet smoke and drink and somehow are healthier than us the body has its own agenda we are not all the same so please experiment do not take everything these pop up RUclipsrs say as absolute
Am I glad I stumbled on this podcast. I have been eating oats for breakfast since I can remember. I am 76 yo and I think it is too late to change my breakfast habit. Oats in whole milk, eggs and bacon is hard to to turn my back on for breakfast.
I grew up with oatmeal. My children did too. It makes me poop so it lowers my cholesterol. Oatmeal is good and I also do fasting in the morning 2x a eeek which is cheap Jesus did it and it’s extremely safe. Fasting is excellent for health. Eggs can be a choice for braking the fast.
I appreciate that Dr Gundry's podcast allows dissenting opinions. It seems that everyone commenting here has a contrary opinion based on their own experience. I'm also a fan of oats, and now I simply soak them for overnight oats. Im 62 and have always noticed that it aids in elimination, and, when i had acne, it was one of the few foods that didnt exacerbate it. I think the point about glyphosate is worth paying attention to, however, so I'll try to stick to organic.
I used to eat oatmeal as my breakfast for 2 years. With just oatmeal, dry raisins, poured hot water on top....and I was healthy. What's the problem really?
It’s not that simple. Food companies want us to believe it’s STILL SIMPLE - but they have industrialized nutrients OUT of food - sprayed chemicals and genetically engineered our SIMPLEST of foods so that they are no longer considered ‘food’ by our own bodies. We are getting sicker and sicker with each generation. We have to pay attention. We have to reclaim what we consume. And hopefully won’t have to turn to BIG PHARMACEUTICALs to be our savior. ‘Don’t take it personally. It’s just business, right?’ …No, this is so wrong. And generations from now, our progeny will be shaking their heads at how ‘The Free Market’ was an acceptable reason for making us all sick.
You should make your own videos sir!!!!! ❤ 🤓 …so you can do such a great job explaining what so many need to still understand- it’s not that oats are bad- it’s what Companies have DONE to oats that have made them bad. They aren’t the same oats our parents ate and especially our parents’ parents ate.
I think you are bit dramatic. There is plenty of other stuff much worse you can eat. Maybe some are sensitive to lectins just like some to gluten but not all I’m sure.
Glyphosate is used in many non-organic oatmeal brands. But many (not all) organic oatmeal products do not. It's a shame that isn't mentioned here. Also, Millet is suggested as an alternative, but Millet can cause thyroid and gastro problems, and should be avoided by people who have thyroid conditions. So, if you want to continue to eat oatmeal without the worry of glyphosate, choose an organic oatmeal brand that does not use it.
Exactly! And if you soak it in water over night, a lot of the lectins will be gone as well. Buy a good organic product and soak it over night. Enjoy your oatmeal. 🤗
Importantly listen to your body whenever you take anything. When I take oat as breakfast, I notice my body becomes unwell, I am considering stop taking it before I see this now . Thank you Dr
I eat porridge every day and at 70 years old I'm going to keep on eating the stuff. Very healthy very filling don't eat again untill about 8 oclock at night so around twelve hours. Great glucose levels great blood pressure.
another "UHHH Do not eat that" come on in the old days oatmeal was a staple in the morning for the whole family and they were healthy as a horse....they used to eat meat, drink milk, cereals, bread and more and they were healthy...so what changed...processed food, sprayed with all kinds of stuff, pasteurized milk, cows with antibiotics, and the list goes on and on. So it is not the food is the quality of food that we eat.
I have a question. I make oat bread from whole grain organic oats. I mill the oats first. Are the lectins dissolved when baking the bread on 350 degrees for 45 minutes? The bread makes me feel good and a have a great digestion since I eat it. What do you think? Do you know if organic oat also get sprayed by that chemical??
I am taking this with a pinch of salt 😂although i do NOT add salt to my husband's jungle oats. Our South African product is SAFE. He ended up in hospital with a sugar reading of 21 & diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Within 2 yrs i got him off ALL his meds & with diabetic dietician i changed his lifestyle...8 yrs later his average reading is 5.6👏👏👏👏👏. What depresses me is all the "myths" around all the stuff that goes around telling us this is good & that is bad.... My husband gave up the following Alcohol ALL starched food Meat Chicken And the list goes on....I'm sticking to good South African Jungle Oats ❤
The only oat i know that is not too good is quick oats,they are loaded with lectins.Steel cut oats and rolled oats are good as well as Fonio,millet and sorghum.
im 80 yrs old and have always had porridge oats for every morning with no ill effects. I cook it in salty water and have it either with a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey
I love all the Grains and most fruits and vegetables God put on this earth.I eat complex carbs and not processed ones. Some farmers are working on better storage of grains.
There is no GMO oats in the United States. With exception of some test trials possibly I don’t know. You cannot spray glyphosate on oats and expect them to live. There is no glyphosate in the oats. There is no gluten in oats by themselves the only gluten comes from other grains, such as barley or wheat so gluten free is just making sure there are no traces of other grains.
Dissing oats??? --- the healthiest breakfast! Low glycemic index, no fat, low or no free-radicals that fried foods would give, long-lasting energy, no sugar-crash, soluble fiber that scours LDL from arteries, source of B-vitamins essential for brain health and full function and metabolism, gentle fibre for the colons to prevent cancer,, pre-biotic substrate for beneficial gut biome. etc...
I started to eat oats about 7 years ago and started to be really unwell plus couldn't stop eating. I gave up breakfast, oats, gluten, milk and sugar, and my figure is nearly the same as it was in my twenties. Also my mother in law had always oats for breakfast, she suffered from stomach pain on daily basis, problems with her thyroid which ended up with operation, she also developed dementia before she was seventy. Thank you Dr G. I am following your advice and my Hashimoto thyroiditis is manageable and I am pain free.
Our body system is wired differently and most important thing is to study our system individually and know what's good for us. Oat is my breakfast every morning and it never spike my blood sugar or makes me add such weight. Any medical professional trying to generalize things these days will surely get it wrong and that's why it seems there are currently more confusion in the medical field than other professions.
@Live Action I am not sure about lowering blood sugar for me, but I can argue that it does helped in lowering my bad cholesterol levels. I am a living witness to that as it worked for me. I don't know about others and it's reason why I said our body is never the same. Steel cut Oat or whole rolled Oat is what I'm eating and it never spike or affect my weight. Though I am never overweight right from time. To me, instant Oat is highly processed and not that healthy. Instant Oat spikes my blood sugar by 8mg/dl. Most of the time my FBS is between 93-104mg/dl, and after taking instant Oat it'll spike to 106-108mg/dl. I never had any insulin medication as my doctor advised me to control my blood sugar through portion control and balance diet. I think I'm prediabetes and I'm fighting to get back to normal by God's grace. Exercise is the key and don't eat much. Veggies do help too. Avoid sugar, salty food, high carbs, fries and process food.
It depends on what kind of oats you eat, for a while I was eating instant oats that come in envelopes and have sugar and flavorings, just microwave in water. It was cheep and easy and filling, but it uped my blood sugar, dr said did you change your diet and I said no, because I had oatmeal before too...Sometime later, I stopped eating the instant oatmeal and after a while my blood sugar went down. I make organic coarse rolled oats w water, no sugar, no butter or milk, and add some walnuts, blueberries and strawberries, sometimes half a banana. I think it works well in my diet... I am pre diabetic and have gluten sensitivity. But have good weight and feel pretty healthy and I am older...
The Egyptian diets during that period included crushed safflower and linseeds (seed oils) which cause chronic inflammation, more so when combined with grain foods and honey (polyunsaturated fats and sugars are not found in nature) Around a century ago traditional rolled oats were processed with low heat (oats were higher in phytase to reduce phytic acid) Women use to then soak oats overnight which greatly reduce their inhibitors, then slowly cook them. Some women add (high phytase) buckwheat flour during the soaking period which is still a common practice in some eastern european countries
Doctors like yourself, if you are serious, need to band together and confront the food, nutrition and medical communities about this and stop them from pushing oats and other grains as healthy foods. I mean come on now!
I eat oatmeal every other day, scrambled eggs every other day, I eat organic food only. I bake my own bread using organic flour and do nor eat any processed food or what we call lunch meat.. I'm 84 years young, take no med of any kind...
It is depressing to find foods that I thought were healthy but don’t shoot the messenger. I’m a big fan of Dr Gundry and imo he knows what he’s talking about. I always cross reference any advice I read on the internet or see on RUclips as there are a lot of quacks out there. But Dr Gundry’s podcasts are always backed up by solid science.
Listening to this makes me feel depressed because it seems that now most foods harm us. I wonder, how is that for many long years civilizations survived! As if most people can be chooser. Honestly, we need lots of common sense and trust in God's protection !
I have tried both millet and sorghum and just ordered more here in the Philippines. I usually use it in a stew or salad. Most Filipinos are not familiar with it and hooked on rice.
Buy organic sprouted steel cut oats. They don’t have glyphosate and are much lower in lectins. Then ferment the sprouted oats with kefir. This will further break down the lectins and lower the glycemic index.
When it comes to oats, they do contain lectins, but when compared with other grains and legumes, they contain fewer lectins2. Also, most foods that contain lectins, including oats, are recommended as part of a healthy, well-balanced diet1. The health benefits you receive from including those foods in your diet outweigh any perceived benefits from avoiding foods with lectins1. In conclusion, while it’s true that oats contain lectins, the claim that they “poke holes in your gut lining and can lead to health issues in the future” is not fully supported by scientific evidence. As always, if you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it’s best to consult with a healthcare
I used to fermented oats at list overnight with yogurt and water. We dont have much studies about fermented foods but that organic oatmeal was different
I do the same and it is actually amazing 😊 The Dr is just too dramatic. Lectins can be removed by soaking them overnight with water or fermenting them.
You're right, i eat watersoaked oats for decades, but now i know it's pure starch /sugar plus omega-6!!! Besides some! vitamins🤔 I've eated it in the morning (when you forget the lectins) with bananas, apple and yogurt....better than toast + marmalade or pancakes...
If I watched YT all day by the end of it I would face a life of starvation. Just this morning I am "advised" that all berries, eggs, red meat should be avoided and now oats is on the same list! Is there any food safe? Last year I was told that oats were a great anti-cancer food. Years ago we were told not to eat burnt toast under any circumstances or else we would get cancer. Should we head to the fields get down on all fours amongst the cattle and eat grass?
Dr. Gundry, I buy my "Sprouted" Organic-Oats from Costco. Since they are sprouted, they must have been fermented with water long enough before being dried, so I 'm assuming that sprouting process removed most (if not all) the hazardous lectins? Additionally, since they are organic, I assuming that no herbicide nor pesticide was used on these oats at all? By the way, I freeze my bag of oats to convert a greater percentage of the oats to a resistant starch, which not only lowers the glucose effect, but also creates more of a pre-biotic food for my friendly bacteria in my gut. Thanks for producing this video!
The only thing that's depressing me is that one nutritionist on youtube says certain foods are bad for you and the other nutritionist says those foods are good for you. You all need to get together and figure a way to stop confusing normal people that want answers.

You've recommended millet as a healthy alternative to oatmeal, but I just watched another video and the doctor said that millet is really bad for your thyroid. I'm really having a hard time finding foods that are healthy to eat. It seems there is something bad in everything. So, if breakfast cereal is bad, anything with sugar or made with flower is bad, in fact, all processed foods are bad, too much fruit is bad, bacon and eggs are bad, millet is bad, and now, oatmeal is bad, but maybe not as bad as the other things that I've mentioned. We have to eat something so considering the alternatives I guess oatmeal isn't so bad. What do you think?
Also, I would love it if you would make a video showing what YOU ate for the entire day yesterday. This would give us an example of one entire day of completely healthy eating.
😀UPDATE 2/24 - Okay, I found a solution! It's oatmeal from - One Degree Organic Foods - It's organic oatmeal that is gluten free, sprouted rolled oats and it's certified glyphosate free and non GMO verified. I got it from Costco and it comes in 5 lb bags.
Everyone is biochemically different and individual and not one diet type or foods suits everyone. “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” I’m a Naturopathic doctor & I hear your voice. Well whatever you subscribe to Vegan, vegetarian, Paelo, keto or carnivore - just eat organic whole-food that’s in season and zero processed food, no packets, no tins, no pizza. And enjoy your whole food in season. Monitor your weight, bowel movements, sleep and energy - keep a food dairy and learn to listen to your own body and be your own Doctor. That’s my advise on all this RUclips nutrition garbage.
@@APBCTechnique I've been eating organic simple truth oats and thought it was healthy, but it's in packets. Also army's organic food but it's in packaging you speak against. Why no pizza? There's organic pizza. I'm actually crying after reading all this. 😢
You could try eating evolutionarily. That is, closer to how our bodies evolved to eat. Maybe try looking into archeologist and anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler's interviews. Or his eatlikeahuman blog.
Becareful because when they say a certain food is bad they usually mean in lab tested LARGE amounts over a LONG period of time, not normal amounts eaten in a regular meal pattern
The parameter can be simplified to insulin releasing foods and combos that release insulin. When you eat those foods, you will not be burning much fat because the hormone makes it so glucose is burned first. Oats fall under the category of insulin-stimulating.
My Grandgrandma lived till age of 101, she ate oats and potatoes all her life. She also ate a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, sauerkraut and buttermilk. Those last three she was doing by herself at home. She thin all her life, till her last days she also had a shot of Advocate almost everyday🙂
No, no, I'm calling BS on this. If she ate "lots of eggs" she would have died in her teens. The government tells us so. Your grandmother was either lying to you or...that wasn't your grandmother.
What is advocate
I think what was meant is olive oil
Advocaat - Dutch alcohol
Our food supply was Way better then..everything now is tainted....she grew up with healthy gut, ie; healthy microbiome in her system becouse our soils were rich in minerals and vitamins...
Take everything this man says with a grain of salt. I eat a massive bowl of oats every day and I’m healthy as a horse. I’ve got a flat stomach, tons of energy, feel great and sleep great.
Not everyone is sensitive to lectins. Some people are indeed! I think the problem with nutrition is that people generalize but we are all different
People have different bacterial sets. you probably have ones that process the lectins more effectively and a strong gut lining. Congrats. He does explain that caveat regarding loss of bacteria if you stop eating wheat for example.
Do you cook them?

where are the studies for this so called health info? They're not listed. Afraid to list the studies "doctor"? And I have news for the good doctor. when I eat oatmeal my bs is perfect in the normal range.I think I'll continue to listen to my body and not some stranger on the internet
everything in moderation … this man literally says no to everything … at this point he’ll

Everything in Moderation is a really old dumm saying. 1. Everything? What is moderation?
To date I have questioned the advice of alleged professionals many times. Most of those have dropped dead. Oatmeal killed both of my grand parents, but they were a hundred years old before it finally did them in. All of my friends that loved lots of eggs and dead animals were gone in their 50s and 60s. I'm 75 and poisoning myself every day with oatmeal, blue berry's, ground Flax seed, Pumpkin seed, Chia seeds, Walnuts, Etc. But one thing I notice is I'm not jammed up all the time like my dead friends were.

Great breakfast choice with all of your tasty healthy additions! I also throw a little cinnamon, pumpkin spice and turmeric in mine. JCP MD

Perfectly said. It’s called “balance” in our diets. While I do believe myself in eating oatmeal, like almost anything, it is not meant to be consumed by us, as Human Beings 7 days a week for breakfast.
oatmeal is not a poison as such. Its just an issue if your suffering gut issues. Unfortunately lots of people are suffering due to antibiotics killing off the gut microbiome diversity. I think another issues is the sunlight and the lack of exposure we are getting compared to outdoors people.
Thanks for making me beyond depressed. According to you pretty much everything we eat is toxic and killing us. You say the things other Dr's say are good to eat are bad. So what I take away from all this is it's impossible to live and I give up. 😢
All the studies I've seen say oatmeal is amazing for you
Don’t give up.
Prepare what you eat yourself.
Nothing premade or processed.
Get enough protein.
Don’t eat sugar, except very occasionally.
Take a multivitamin every day and an omega 3 supplement.
Drink water.
Exercise every day for a few minutes - whatever you enjoy most.
Just eat the foods your body evolved on for the past 2 million years. It's easier to get it "right" if you look at it that way. Do a bit of research. We started to get it "wrong" when we switched to mostly agricultural foods.
Dont listen to this fraud
i eat organic oats before a serious weight lifting session, and they always get me through them, both physically and mentally
My dads eaten oatmeal for over 80 years and as an adult and his weight has never been more than 10 pounds out of his weight range. Until he turned 75 he was always 5'10" and 155lbs.
He's shrunk now that he's 90, and is only 5'8" and 150lbs.
Wow, good on him!
Dr Gundry should explain this!! I have seen many healthy old people eat oats eveyday since young!!
@@easyacademy8110 I watch several channels on diet and it is sad how much they disagree. The channel while appearing to give good advice seems to be related to a lot of scams. If you don't believe me just do a Google search for Dr Grundy and look at the Better Business Bureau. You will see a lot of complaints about his business practices. If you cannot trust his business practices, I don't think you can trust his advice either.
I am seriously thinking this doctor is crazy.
I agree .
I agree too. Its like he is so focused on his bio and credentials etc. He likes to hear himself speak, Im out.
i agree he is coo coo boomer
And is friendly to smoking
He is. Go watch the episode of Dr Mikes podcastt where he had this fool on. He says chocolate is as healthy as grapes, smoking increases your lifespan, etc
Dr. Gundry, I'm 70, 5'9" and weigh 140lbs. I weigh just a little more than when I was in high school. I'm one of those enviable people who has never had to struggle with weight gain. Some erroneously call it "a fast metabolism", but I just call it "lucky." You don't have to be a medical expert to understand that everybody has a unique metabolism. If eliminating oats from your diet has helped you to achieve weight loss and feel better, that's great, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that the same food that impacted you negatively will affect others in the same way. I'll take your warning with a grain of salt, which I'll most likely put on my next bowl of oatmeal.
I started to discount his diet advice after doing a Google search for Dr Grundy and found A LOT of Better Business Bureau complaints against him.
But that doesn't apply to organic oatmeal
Sorry but many of our parents and grandparents ate oatmeal every day and lived healthy lives into their 80s, 90s and beyond. Not sure why you keep villainizing it...
There is different layers of what is considered healthy. Some people think just because they are not diagnosed or on medication they are healthy, but others may consider being healthy when you optimize and push the limits to make your body as healthy and fit as theoretically possible for your given age/lifestyle/etc. also saying oats is bad doesn’t mean it’s as bad as other things, and that you still can’t make it through life eating them, it’s just become a popular health trend to eat oats, which is misleading in a way. There are people who smoke cigarettes and live “long healthy” lives but that doesn’t mean cigarettes are good.
Did they use mosanto chemicals back then?
Pathetic comment
So many of our staples have been marketed to us as healthy foods. Slap a heart logo on the package and that’s all it takes.

I am 70 years and eating oatmeal daily and can run 3 miles or walk 8 miles per day...Too alarmist Mr Gundry
Wow, you’re my idol. Good job! 👍
I eat organic rolled oats every day and I’m slim. My blood tests came back good too. Oats are good for you.
yeah he is an idiot.
Yes !
I agree, I’m 52, eat oats everyday, and my blood panel is great with no inflammation. You should watch the interview Dr. Mike and Gundry. 😂
I am a 67 year old power lifter and fitness trainer I have been eating oats for over 50 years. I don't drink protein powder I make homemade shake I use 3 tablespoons souk oats and honey and dates banana, and blueberries with buttermilk and various nuts. Last week I cycle 70 kilometers for four hours and I work out 4 times a week for two hours in the gym. I don't eat refine sugar and trans fat and I'm stronger than an 18 year boy in the gym. I eat oats in moderation and I'm healthy. People eat too much sugar and trans fat and junk food and many children are fat.
A question for Dr. Gundry: What is good to eat? In your videos you tell us about Negative effects of eating food (animal or plants) are we allowed to drink Water or that has negative effects on us.
Agree withnyou.
If you review the video, you’ll hear he says that millet and sorghum are hull-free and lectin-free. sorghum grains can also be popped with hot ghee…they taste remarkably like popcorn.
Sorghum? Millet? How aboutwho cant buy them?
😂😆👌🏽.
Perfect question.
HAHA THANKYOU🤣
The whole fitness industry relies heavily on oats. It's a vital food for the healthiest people ive ever seen. This is very confusing
Oatmeal soaked overnight unrefridgerated in vanilla almond milk (not the one minute) is one of the best foods I can eat for my stomach. I have eaten this for many years and am not overweight and almost never have any cavities. I buy 25 pd bags of organic oatmeal.
Do you know what almond milk (water) is made from and with?
have a look at a u tube video "oatmilk is literally a scam"and tell me afterwards if you still consume almond milk.
I agree with you. Oatmeal makes you feel full and therefore you eat less.
@@ottifantiwaalkes9289 Have you ever done a Google search for Dr Grundy and Better Business Bureau? Try it. A lot of complaints about his sales practices. I don't think his diet advice is any better, since the reason for this channel is to drive sales of his products.
@@ottifantiwaalkes9289I heard that almond milk had cyanide in it. I also heard that if you're going to have almond milk then you are better off making it yourself but then again, it might still have cyanide in it. Dr sebi add almond milk in his diet guide but then later found out that almond milk has cyanide in it. That probably explains why I'm not able to tolerate almond milk that well.

BOTH of my maternal grandparents have eaten oatmeal all of their lives. They are both still alive, in their mid nineties, and STILL have the teeth they were born with. Also, neither of them have any health issues except for hypertension that did not begin until they hit 90 years old. I will continue to eat oatmeal as they have done, because their longevity has proven to me that oatmeal is just fine to consume.
Oatmeal made with hot water only and without added sugar is a great food for both gut and heart health. I've been eating it for a long time and my gut has never been healthier
Don´t agree, oat for breakfast gives me STRENGTH for almost the whole day. It is great food 👍 Maybe sensitive persons should be careful👆
Starch/ sugar + omega 6 🤔
i do once a week organic steel cut oats cooked with cocos milk. i don`t think this will harm my health.
There's a MASSIVE difference between organic steel cut (coarse in UK) oats compared to the generic and rolled oats generally on sale. As long as you soak the steel cut oats for about half an hour. I'm in the UK and our food standards are still high - at the moment....
How to they differ then?
Dr Gundry, your opinion?
Phew, I can't think of yet another good I have to give up eating after going gluten free for my health but I'm also vegan for animals. I'll be eating air next!
High in omega 6 and starch/sugar anyways....
"food standards are still high - at the moment..." that will be undone with Brexit anytime soon. Like every other high standard we used to have until people voted to shoot themselves in the foot.
I wonder if Dr Gundry has any papers or research published on nutrition that i can read. So far i can't find any.
For me oatmeal has been a miracle saver for my digestive. I have struggled all my life with IBS and it wasn't until I discovered what oatmeal could do that I got my digestive on the right track. I need to take a good probiotic, eat some sour-dough bread and take a small dose of Metamucil also everyday to totally fix it with a cherry on top. Oatmeal got me cruising and I'm very happy!
Some other doctors have advised that oatmeal is good for health, but this doctor says oatmeal is harmful to the human body. So what about the general public? Really confused 🤔
Any ways... every grain is starch/=sugar (high insulin) and too much omega 6
Don't believe everything you are told on Social Media. Do your own research first. You will find very interesting articles !!!
This is why people say be careful what you read on the internet. Or be careful of what you watch in this case. You can find plenty of video's that will encourage you to eat oatmeal from people who are nutritionists and health professionals. You can find videos like this one who will say the opposite. Oats are amazing for the body and digestive system and oatmeal is the undisputed champion when it comes to finding the best source of fiber. I've never known an unhealthy person who regularly ate oatmeal or quite frankly, ever ate it at all. There are plenty of proven benefits to eating oatmeal and every person I've ever met who did regularly eat oatmeal was in great shape and perfectly healthy. Sometimes common sense just has to lead the way. Oatmeal is definitely good for you.
Eventually, no matter what I eat, there's bound to be someone say that it's bad for me.
Third video in a row now that I've watched demonizing Oatmeal. Only came to read the comment section and just like the other 2 videos, TONS of testimonials on how many years and decades people have been eating oatmeal and how good their health got after starting to eat it daily. It just never ends does it 😖
That's because the dead ones are too dead to comment.
Well I feel for these positive comments ate oatmeal everyday for 30 days I got serious pain under my right upper ribcage, it was unbearable, since I stopped eating oats pain is going away. Got it First hand experience it is not good for me
@@Wealthy_Mystic it's a strange thing how different foods and even supplements affect different people. And from what I've read there's some nasty stuff in non organic oats but who knows, it may have nothing to do with it.
I have all kinds of crazy reactions to certain foods AND supplements. I don't doubt what you're saying. I just don't think these claims should be such blanket statements as they are sometimes as everyone's body is different. Glad you got it figured out. It's tricky sometimes figuring that stuff out and what the culprit is when something starts going South in the body 😣
Lots of foods contain lectins what should we eat
The longest living people eat the most lectins. This Dr should stick to cardiology
Red meat, fish, eggs, cheese, fermented products, and non-starchy vegetables. For animal products - organic fed, humanely raised, and wild-caught only. Use your common sense. For example, if you like pork but can't find "certified humane" and "organic" labels or farm-raised pork in your area, go for other meat like grass-fed beef.
If you must eat sugar, pick sweet potatoes over grains (wheat, oats, rice) and fruits. You don't need to worry about lectins if you are 1) metabolically healthy, and 2) prepare those ingredients the right way.
My common sense says red meat, eggs, and cheese will all skyrocket your cholesterol lol not to mention red meat increases colorectal cancer risk @@lars2894
I dunno. I'll take this video with a grain of salt. The doctor failed to mention the positive attributes of oatmeal such as the effect on cholesterol, the soluble fiber, and it's ability to absorb up to 100 times it's weight in water. As a personal aside, my mother suffered terribly from morning sickness with her first 3 pregnancies. When I came along she had a doctor tell her to eat oatmeal, and it greatly helped that problem. She fed me much delicious oatmeal throughout her life.
Those things are trivial in what actually matters.

Can you plz add the research links so we’ll be able to see the data
Agree.
Am I glad I stumbled on this podcast. I have been eating oats for breakfast since I can remember. I am 76 yo and I think it is too late to change my breakfast habit. Oats in whole milk, eggs and bacon is hard to to turn my back on for breakfast.
Wow, 76…you are doing great. I hope I make it to 76
I’m glad you can afford expensive alternatives pal but I can’t.
Yep {try eating grains from the Mediterranean picked by hand on the second of June lol }
I grew up with oatmeal. My children did too. It makes me poop so it lowers my cholesterol. Oatmeal is good and I also do fasting in the morning 2x a eeek which is cheap Jesus did it and it’s extremely safe. Fasting is excellent for health. Eggs can be a choice for braking the fast.
I definitely will think twice about eating oatmeal , I will eat two bowls of it each day
I appreciate that Dr Gundry's podcast allows dissenting opinions. It seems that everyone commenting here has a contrary opinion based on their own experience. I'm also a fan of oats, and now I simply soak them for overnight oats. Im 62 and have always noticed that it aids in elimination, and, when i had acne, it was one of the few foods that didnt exacerbate it. I think the point about glyphosate is worth paying attention to, however, so I'll try to stick to organic.
I used to eat oatmeal as my breakfast for 2 years. With just oatmeal, dry raisins, poured hot water on top....and I was healthy. What's the problem really?
Oats are good for you. It's the glyphosate contamination that's the problem. Buy organic oatmeal if you can!
This dr. is nuts. My gastro dr. told me a high fiber diet and oatmeal is perfect. Plain oatmeal cant be beat and it keeps you full.
It’s not that simple. Food companies want us to believe it’s STILL SIMPLE - but they have industrialized nutrients OUT of food - sprayed chemicals and genetically engineered our SIMPLEST of foods so that they are no longer considered ‘food’ by our own bodies. We are getting sicker and sicker with each generation. We have to pay attention. We have to reclaim what we consume. And hopefully won’t have to turn to BIG PHARMACEUTICALs to be our savior.
‘Don’t take it personally. It’s just business, right?’ …No, this is so wrong. And generations from now, our progeny will be shaking their heads at how ‘The Free Market’ was an acceptable reason for making us all sick.
👍🏾 well put
You should make your own videos sir!!!!! ❤ 🤓
…so you can do such a great job explaining what so many need to still understand- it’s not that oats are bad- it’s what Companies have DONE to oats that have made them bad. They aren’t the same oats our parents ate and especially our parents’ parents ate.
I blend it after soaking overnight with filtered water next morning with a fruit for breakfast. It's balance as milk too is added to it.
Anyone reading this please ask yourself one question, why didn’t Dr. Gundry site the sources for the claims he making?
Good video. This is the first video of Dr. Gundry's that I've seen that he isn't trying to sell me a bottle of pills for $70 a month.
I think you are bit dramatic. There is plenty of other stuff much worse you can eat. Maybe some are sensitive to lectins just like some to gluten but not all I’m sure.
Go eat your bowl of poison infused, sugar lectins💁🏽
Glyphosate is used in many non-organic oatmeal brands. But many (not all) organic oatmeal products do not. It's a shame that isn't mentioned here. Also, Millet is suggested as an alternative, but Millet can cause thyroid and gastro problems, and should be avoided by people who have thyroid conditions. So, if you want to continue to eat oatmeal without the worry of glyphosate, choose an organic oatmeal brand that does not use it.
Exactly! And if you soak it in water over night, a lot of the lectins will be gone as well. Buy a good organic product and soak it over night. Enjoy your oatmeal. 🤗
Oatmeal has proven to lower my cholesterol multiple times. What’s a good replacement?

I eat porridge every day and at 70 years old I'm going to keep on eating the stuff.
Very healthy very filling don't eat again untill about 8 oclock at night so around twelve hours. Great glucose levels great blood pressure.
another "UHHH Do not eat that" come on in the old days oatmeal was a staple in the morning for the whole family and they were healthy as a horse....they used to eat meat, drink milk, cereals, bread and more and they were healthy...so what changed...processed food, sprayed with all kinds of stuff, pasteurized milk, cows with antibiotics, and the list goes on and on. So it is not the food is the quality of food that we eat.
I have a question. I make oat bread from whole grain organic oats. I mill the oats first. Are the lectins dissolved when baking the bread on 350 degrees for 45 minutes? The bread makes me feel good and a have a great digestion since I eat it. What do you think? Do you know if organic oat also get sprayed by that chemical??
I am taking this with a pinch of salt 😂although i do NOT add salt to my husband's jungle oats.

I love all the Grains and most fruits and vegetables God put on this earth.I eat complex carbs and not processed ones. Some farmers are working on better storage of grains.
@DrGundry ...is Quinoa better than Oatmeal?
There's nothing left to eat.
Thank you for your input 🙏
He's talking about usa made oats filled with chemicals. There's a difference between healthy organically grown oats and chemically sprayed oats.
I eat a generous quantity of USA oats most mornings and am pretty darn healthy for 67.
There is no GMO oats in the United States. With exception of some test trials possibly I don’t know. You cannot spray glyphosate on oats and expect them to live. There is no glyphosate in the oats.
There is no gluten in oats by themselves the only gluten comes from other grains, such as barley or wheat so gluten free is just making sure there are no traces of other grains.
Dissing oats??? --- the healthiest breakfast! Low glycemic index, no fat, low or no free-radicals that fried foods would give, long-lasting energy, no sugar-crash, soluble fiber that scours LDL from arteries, source of B-vitamins essential for brain health and full function and metabolism, gentle fibre for the colons to prevent cancer,, pre-biotic substrate for beneficial gut biome. etc...

I'm 93 years old and I've been eating 2 big bowls of oatmeal every day since I was 6 years old, and I'm still healthy with no medications???
One doctor says it's good and the other says it's not! What is correct finally? I can't keep watching these videos.
I started to eat oats about 7 years ago and started to be really unwell plus couldn't stop eating. I gave up breakfast, oats, gluten, milk and sugar, and my figure is nearly the same as it was in my twenties. Also my mother in law had always oats for breakfast, she suffered from stomach pain on daily basis, problems with her thyroid which ended up with operation, she also developed dementia before she was seventy. Thank you Dr G. I am following your advice and my Hashimoto thyroiditis is manageable and I am pain free.
Our body system is wired differently and most important thing is to study our system individually and know what's good for us. Oat is my breakfast every morning and it never spike my blood sugar or makes me add such weight. Any medical professional trying to generalize things these days will surely get it wrong and that's why it seems there are currently more confusion in the medical field than other professions.
@@giftoskyedward9132 very true, the non blood spiking and keeping ones weight down is huge
@Live Action I am not sure about lowering blood sugar for me, but I can argue that it does helped in lowering my bad cholesterol levels. I am a living witness to that as it worked for me. I don't know about others and it's reason why I said our body is never the same. Steel cut Oat or whole rolled Oat is what I'm eating and it never spike or affect my weight. Though I am never overweight right from time. To me, instant Oat is highly processed and not that healthy. Instant Oat spikes my blood sugar by 8mg/dl. Most of the time my FBS is between 93-104mg/dl, and after taking instant Oat it'll spike to 106-108mg/dl. I never had any insulin medication as my doctor advised me to control my blood sugar through portion control and balance diet. I think I'm prediabetes and I'm fighting to get back to normal by God's grace. Exercise is the key and don't eat much. Veggies do help too. Avoid sugar, salty food, high carbs, fries and process food.
It depends on what kind of oats you eat, for a while I was eating instant oats that come in envelopes and have sugar and flavorings, just microwave in water. It was cheep and easy and filling, but it uped my blood sugar, dr said did you change your diet and I said no, because I had oatmeal before too...Sometime later, I stopped eating the instant oatmeal and after a while my blood sugar went down. I make organic coarse rolled oats w water, no sugar, no butter or milk, and add some walnuts, blueberries and strawberries, sometimes half a banana. I think it works well in my diet... I am pre diabetic and have gluten sensitivity. But have good weight and feel pretty healthy and I am older...
The Egyptian diets during that period included crushed safflower and linseeds (seed oils) which cause chronic inflammation, more so when combined with grain foods and honey (polyunsaturated fats and sugars are not found in nature) Around a century ago traditional rolled oats were processed with low heat (oats were higher in phytase to reduce phytic acid) Women use to then soak oats overnight which greatly reduce their inhibitors, then slowly cook them. Some women add (high phytase) buckwheat flour during the soaking period which is still a common practice in some eastern european countries
Doctors like yourself, if you are serious, need to band together and confront the food, nutrition and medical communities about this and stop them from pushing oats and other grains as healthy foods. I mean come on now!
Doctors are employed by the food industry to sell their products. Just like Big Tobacco.
I've heard soaking and cooking can reduce or eliminate lectins in foods. What about soaking steel cut oats and cooking them for 20 minutes?
Costco sells glyphosate organic rolled oats; 35g soaked 24hr in fridge for smoothy... yum yum. Don't let this guy spook you!
I eat oatmeal every other day, scrambled eggs every other day, I eat organic food only. I bake my own bread using organic flour and do nor eat any processed food or what we call lunch meat.. I'm 84 years young, take no med of any kind...
It is depressing to find foods that I thought were healthy but don’t shoot the messenger. I’m a big fan of Dr Gundry and imo he knows what he’s talking about. I always cross reference any advice I read on the internet or see on RUclips as there are a lot of quacks out there. But Dr Gundry’s podcasts are always backed up by solid science.
Listening to this makes me feel depressed because it seems that now most foods harm us. I wonder, how is that for many long years civilizations survived! As if most people can be chooser.
Honestly, we need lots of common sense and trust in God's protection !
"Gods protection?" Seriously, you have some demonstration of evidence to support that claim?
I have tried both millet and sorghum and just ordered more here in the Philippines. I usually use it in a stew or salad. Most Filipinos are not familiar with it and hooked on rice.
Don't oats have soluble fiber?
Buy organic sprouted steel cut oats. They don’t have glyphosate and are much lower in lectins. Then ferment the sprouted oats with kefir. This will further break down the lectins and lower the glycemic index.
Instead of talking in RUclips, please do something to stop bad products coming into the market.
When it comes to oats, they do contain lectins, but when compared with other grains and legumes, they contain fewer lectins2. Also, most foods that contain lectins, including oats, are recommended as part of a healthy, well-balanced diet1. The health benefits you receive from including those foods in your diet outweigh any perceived benefits from avoiding foods with lectins1.
In conclusion, while it’s true that oats contain lectins, the claim that they “poke holes in your gut lining and can lead to health issues in the future” is not fully supported by scientific evidence. As always, if you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it’s best to consult with a healthcare
My great grandmother was 103 when she died. She ate oats every day.
So? Mine lived to 98 and smoked every day. Lol.
hi Dr. Gundry you mention 3 alternatives when i listened could you please list them as I am not sure of spelling or could anyone else please list them
millet, sorghum, fonio
Cooking, especially with wet high-heat methods like boiling or stewing, or soaking in water for several hours, can inactivate most lectins.
I used to fermented oats at list overnight with yogurt and water. We dont have much studies about fermented foods but that organic oatmeal was different
I do the same and it is actually amazing 😊 The Dr is just too dramatic. Lectins can be removed by soaking them overnight with water or fermenting them.
You're right, i eat watersoaked oats for decades, but now i know it's pure starch /sugar plus omega-6!!! Besides some! vitamins🤔 I've eated it in the morning (when you forget the lectins) with bananas, apple and yogurt....better than toast + marmalade or pancakes...
How do you fermented them.
This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. It all depends on your body type, activities, and other calories consumsion
If I watched YT all day by the end of it I would face a life of starvation. Just this morning I am "advised" that all berries, eggs, red meat should be avoided and now oats is on the same list! Is there any food safe? Last year I was told that oats were a great anti-cancer food. Years ago we were told not to eat burnt toast under any circumstances or else we would get cancer. Should we head to the fields get down on all fours amongst the cattle and eat grass?
Very funny 😂
SO all these foods that you dont reccomed are bad for you wtf are we gonna eat???
Dr. Gundry, thank you for the valuable information. What about the organic sprouted oats? Does it have the same issue?.
I might as well eat water at this point.
Gary Null got me onto steel cut oats, slow cooked for a half hour. I use the non-gmo stuff.
Dr. Gundry, I buy my "Sprouted" Organic-Oats from Costco. Since they are sprouted, they must have been fermented with water long enough before being dried, so I 'm assuming that sprouting process removed most (if not all) the hazardous lectins? Additionally, since they are organic, I assuming that no herbicide nor pesticide was used on these oats at all?
By the way, I freeze my bag of oats to convert a greater percentage of the oats to a resistant starch, which not only lowers the glucose effect, but also creates more of a pre-biotic food for my friendly bacteria in my gut. Thanks for producing this video!
