Frequently Asked Clinical Questions

Q: Why is oat milk worse for blood sugar than eating whole steel-cut oats?

During industrial oat milk processing, enzymes break down intact oat beta-glucan fibers into free maltose sugar, while rapeseed oil is emulsified in to mimic dairy foam.

Q: What should I order at Starbucks or Peet's instead of Oat Milk?

Order an Americano, Cold Brew, or Unsweetened Matcha with a splash of almond milk or heavy cream plus Ceylon cinnamon powder.
