3 reasons you should stop drinking oat milk (especially for breakfast) 🥛
🎢GLUCOSE SPIKE! The process of making milk out of oats turns carbohydrates into sugar. Not a big deal, but if you mix it with coffee and have it as first thing in the morning, it can cause a massive sugar (glucose) spike — similar to what a small can of Coca-Cola can do to your glucose levels in the afternoon.
☠️ GLYPHOSATE if the oats are not organic (and sometimes even if they are), they will be full of glyphosate, which is a pesticide linked to birth defects, gut issues and infertility.
🛢️ SEED OILS! The most undercover and overprotected ingredient by the food industry that is responsible for obesity, inflammation, yet sold as a healthier alternative to saturated fats. Seed oils like canola, soybean, cotton seed oil which are often hidden in our foods are bad for you!
Healthy swaps?
🥥 coconut milk
🥜 macadamia milk (not peanut but no emoji)
🐄 raw cow’s or goat’s milk
🌱 hemp milk
🌾 or oat milk in moderation, organic, without seed oils and not first thing in the morning (have it after protein/fat breakfast)
Hope this helps!
As usual, don’t trust the Internet (or me) and see for yourself - use reputable sources like pubmed not google and always DYOR (do your own research!)
