Raw oats vs cooked oats

[skribbble]

Lately ive been too lasy to cook oatmeal and wait for it to cool down so ive just been eating it right out of the container. I was wondering if this made them a different glycemic level then being cooked. I know its a weird question but i was just trying to figure out if it was doing the same to my blood sugar levels as if it were cooked. thanks!

Shouldn't make a difference, I blend them with water+protein.

Cooked oats have lower GI than uncooked ones.

GI? what's that?

[lc1987]

glycemic index. you wanna go for low gi cuz it has less impact on blood sugars

thats not true.

[ODC0717]

thats not true.

explain?

[Testostack]

i'd be interested in an explaination too!

[Rookie1974]

does'nt make sence to me....cooking breaks down the complex carbs (alpha chains?) into simple carbs. Seems like cooking would increase the glucose spike to me.

[*Narkissos*]

thats not true.

what isn't?

As I understand it thats the whole point of G.I. Am I misinformed?

[speak]

i agree with Nark, if they are cooked they are easier for your body to break down and digest, cooked = higher GI
