Skip the splenda. Creepy chemicals are not the way to go. Since you're wanting a calorie-free sugar substitute, try Stevia instead. It's 100% natural and very, very sweet.
Better than that, always add STRAWBERRIES and CINNAMON to your oats as well (for more info on why the berries are perfect for oats, see this link:
http://www.realage.com/ct/tips/3309).
Cinnamon is awesome because it helps to regulate your blood sugar and I find it makes me want less sweetener :)
if you're allergic to strawberries, blueberries are wonderful for you (although they're not as specifically perfect for oats as strawberries are) and will help you crave less added sweet stuff.
Last thing, make sure you're using, thick, slow oats, not quick ones.
...and I know many people think going organic is a waste of money, but I don't see how making sure your food doesn't have any added chemicals is a bad thing, for you and the environment. Strawberries are heavily sprayed, so if you can pick just one thing to try organic, please make it the berries.
I hope that helps <3

i eat rolled oats with a little splenda brown sugar at least 5-6 days a week.is this a good breakfast?

This is very interesting. I am going to try this out. I didnt know oats had so many benefits. To read more benefits of oats, read my post in http://one-deep-breath.blogspot.com/

I have been getting these skin tags on my legs, particularly on the lower leg and around the ankle area. What could possible prevent these unsightly things from coming out on my skin? They have increased in the last 2 yrs (I'm 62), live in upstate NY, have moderate exposure to sunlight (not my calf area of legs) What would help remedy this problem with skin tags?

I soak oatmeal in 100% apple juice; add lots of cinnamon; soak it for a half-hour in 'fridge...that's my delish & healthy breakfast ever day!

I've always loved porridge or cooked oatmeal (used to call it stirabout in Ireland years ago boiled hanging in a skillet pot on the crook of an open hearth! But is the refined envelopes with fruit as nutritious? They say not! I still love it anyway, it's so handy to just add boiling water and cook via microwave oven until set (about 1 minute or more)! It also has gone up of course!

Can i buy the regular oats which are available as an edible product in the market and the same i grind it to powder for making facepack?

I eat raw oatmeal everyday i crave it is it bad for me

Will I get the same health benefits if I eat my oatmeal raw every mornig?

Does it matter for the face mask if you use regular old fashioned oats or if you use the instant kind?

Oatmeal saved the day when my children had Chicken Pox. Put a cup in the toe end of a pantyhose, tie it shut and cut off the rest. Use this to rub on their skin in the bath. It's soothing but gentle and won't break open any of the blisters.

I had high cholesterol and could not take any meds to lower it due to the muscle side affects. So I lowered my numbers with diet. The first thing I did was eliminate all egg yolks. That alone lowered my bad cholesterol by 30 points! I now use egg substitute or egg whites. So try that to lower your cholesterol without giving up your eggs.

A facial mask I like I started using 60 years ago --
Beat white of one egg
Add enought oatmeal to make a paste and apply to face. leave on till dry and rinse off.

Patrick: I'd replace most of the eggs with fish, lean chicken or turkey. Check with a doctor about diet/body building and lowering your bad cholesterol. You can also read up on foods to eat for body building in one of the men's fitness magazines out there. Good luck!

Judy, the oatmeal pudding sounds very interesting and is something I would like to try. Does the recipe call for oatmeal and how much? Thank you.

love oat meal mast. It use to be a Mary Kay product. They change the mast and I haven't liked it since. The oat meal mast was much better. Thanks for the recipe

I love oatmeal and have been
eating it every morning with blueberries, (fresh or frozen)added with apple sauce 2 tablespoons, or 1/cup of non fat yogurt.It filling and helps keep me regular. Now its even good for the face, thats great can't wait to try it

Judy, I would like to know how many oats you put in your oatmeal pudding? Thanks! Linda

it is quite nice tip to follow for good health..

I make oatmeal 'pudding' with milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cranberries (or raisins) & give to friends ~ it lasts a couple weeks in fridge. When ready to eat it, merely spoon it out, nuke it, add milk and 'bon appetit!' Here's a recipe with approximate amounts: Bring to boil: 3 cups milk, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla. Reduce heat, stir 10-15 minutes until it's the consistency you prefer, add fruit, stir, store in fridge. NOTE: it firms up a bit when it cools. To prepare fruit beforehand: cover dried fruit with water, nuke until it's plump and juicy. Store in fridge if any is left over. It makes a healthy great snack.

Artificial sugar is okay, as is lite milk. Taste it as you go alang. Responses are welcome. . . . suggestions also.

I am a bodybuilder and I took a chem 7 bloodtest and my cholesterol(bad) was high. I eat three whole eggs and three egg whites every morning with a cup of oatmeal for breakfast should i cut down on the whole eggs and go up in oatmeal, or should i cut down from whole eggs and switch to egg whites. I am twenty six years of age any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THankyou

I can not eat anything with flour in it. It bloats me. So I found a cookie recipe using just oats, no flour, in an Amish cook book. They are called Monster cookies. 2 of them make a good breakfast.

For those suffering with eczema, I helped my niece by alternating between the prescribed rx and Dr. Bronner's Magic soap http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/LS.htm and moisterizing with coconut oil. I believed that the medication was drying the rash and causing more itching which caused the skin malady to spread. In particular I used the lavendar soap but they are all splendid remedies. Currently, I use the tea tree variety for general maintenance/skin health. Good Luck!

I sail a lot between the Mediterranean and the UK delivering yachts. I can guarantee that during every trip I will convert the majority of passengers to porridge as the best, easiest to cook and most satisfying food to carry on a seagoing vessel.

To stop Psoriasis in it's tracks, omit ALL artificial sweeteners. My son did, and he had a bad case. It all simply disappeared. If he starts drinking diet soda, it starts to return.

I am now using the product Bio Oil. I am noticing a real improvement in my psoriasis and it has only been one week. I have tried perscription creams but have not been satisfied.

not only good for your skin, but a superfood - anti-inflammatory (good for my bad knee), one of the best sources of soluble fibre for digestive health (it may have fixed my colitis), slow release (eaten at 8am, don't feel hungry until around 1pm), and cheap (I pay about A$1/kg), a great kick start for the brain every morning - 'in England they feed to horses what in Scotland they feed to men' - I think those Scots know something ... !

Inexpensive psoriasis treatment:
- do not smoke
- avoid stress
- soak in the sea twice a year as long as possible (couple of hours a day...) and sunbathe a lot
- if you do not have a chance to go to the sea, apply poultice from the Dead Sea salt for two weeks
- try that oatmeal cure here too, it cannot hurt you
- do not smoke again

I have eczema and have used a mask made from oats, honey and rose water on my face for years. It really does help with the irritaion. I usually place about 1/2 cup of oats in the blender and blend them to a powder. Take out the oats you plan to use for your mask and store the rest in a covered container. Only store the oats, make your mask fresh. Another trick if you are very dry add a couple of drops of heavy cream to the mix.

will oatmeal help eczema? if yes...how

when jr. wasn't eating at the breakfast table, FATHER SAID: "SON! eat your oatmeal! It will grow hair on your chest!" do you know what happened? his daughter quit eating her oatmeal....

Audrey - acupuncture and herbs can correct the imbalance that's causing your condition. Its amazing.

I love oatmeal - actually we call it porridge in England and I have been eating it every day for breakfast for the past 20 plus years. It definately keeps weight down and easily keeps you full until lunchtime. But I could eat it anytime of day!

I have been eating 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of organic, fat free plain yogurt from Trader Joe's and 1 Tablespoon Organic Blue Agave sweetener also from Trader Joe's for breakfast and/or a snack. Depending on how many extra calories I need, I will add a tablespoon of raw nuts or a 1/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean cereal. It's delicous, filling and good for my digestion. I just had 12 inches of colon removed and feel wonderful!

Please check out website.. you be amazed the quality of product that are there to keep you healthy & glowing

How can I do this when I am allergic to oats? even contact seems to be a problem from time to time.

THANKS FOR ALL THE IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS ON OATS. I HAVE ALWAY EATING OAT MEAL IN THE MORNING, BUT NOW I KNOW HOW TO USE THE OATS FOR ANY BODY AND SKINS PROBLEMS THAT MAY HAPPEN TO ME AS I HAVE HAD SKIN PROBLEMS WITH THE SUN VERY LIGHT SKIN. AGAIN THANKS SO MUCH, TAKE CARE. MP

Reply to Audrey about psoriasis: Take fish oil and flax seed oil to help control psoriasis. Also use Neem salve on the skin. It works for my husband. He does not take any prescription meds but has tried them all. Fish oil and flax seed oil work better than the meds.

I have eaten oatmeal every morning for the last year or so. I buy 'extra thick cut oats' from the health store in Fred Meyers in bulk. I put a quarter of a teas of cinnamon in the oatmeal, a little honey, dates etc. Along with fish oil, I have lowered my cholesterol 20 points. I understand the cinnamon lowered your blood pressure and helps control your blood sugar. WOW, now I can wear it.....truly a miracle food.

How can oatmeal be made into a politice to be used on pimples etc

Oat flour(finely ground oats) can be usually found in the natural/health section of you grocery store or a store like Whole Foods. Arrowhead or Bob's Red Mill are great brands I have tried.

You can grind oatmeal into flour in a regular blender. Oat flour can replace half of the white flour in a recipe but you need just a touch more. (If the recipe calls for 3 cups and you want half oat flour, use 1 3/4 of oat and 1 1/2 white.

I would like to hear more about Audrey's question from the 28th of August. I have posirasis, I lost my job and have no medical ins. The doctor prescibes very expensive medication and I am trying to find ways to keep my posirasis in check.

what is the best oatmeal to use, does it need to be finely ground up?

I used to eat high fiber cereals every day, but they were expensive and gave me lots of gas. Now I eat oatmeal every morning, have lost weight and don't have the bloat that the high fiber cereals gave me. Also, it's inexpensive!

Would the oatmeal mask work for someone with severe acne? If not, do you have any suggestions?

How can you make the oatmeal into a pwder if yu don't have a coffee grinder?
