Blended vs Whole Food
Does blending a food such as oatmeal diminish its nutritional value?

NOPE. It'll just make it easier to stomach.

The only difference would be the GI of the blended oats would be a little higher vs. rolled oats 'whole.'

Actually yes. Especially when it comes to fruits and veggies. Blending breaks the cell walls and significantly increases the glycemic index because it increases surface area relative to mass, permitting better access of the enzymes that convert plant starch to sugar. (This is a major problem with white flour because milling creates a small particle of almost pure starch.)

Yep.. fruit smoothies are no good because of this.

im just talking about straight oatmeal, thats the only thing i blend. I blend in the morning 1 cup of oats, 1 scoop of whey and water. Does that lose nutrional value?

I personally don't like a liquid diet as I feel the nutrients will pass through you too quickly.. why not cook the oats and scramble some eggwhites instead?

While we are at it, we can stop chewing too.

as long as the food is eaten soon after blending, I dont see the problem. the thing is, when you blend food, you break it down and the nutrients start to deteriorate, its called oxidation.

things like veggies and fruit are what you want to be careful of.
