Can Oatmeal Reverse Heart Disease?
Less than 3% of Americans meet the daily recommended fiber intake despite research suggesting high-fiber foods such as whole grains can affect the progression of coronary heart disease.

(All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sales of his books, DVDs, and speaking engagements go to support the 501c3 nonprofit that runs NutritionFacts.org.) Oatmeal offers a lot more than fiber, though. See my last two oat videos Oatmeal Lotion for Chemotherapy-Induced Rash (nutritionfacts.org/video/Oatmeal-Lotion-for-Chemotherapy-Induced-Rash) and Can Oatmeal Help Fatty Liver Disease? (nutritionfacts.org/video/can-oatmeal-help-fatty-liver-disease/) Trowell’s work had a big influence on Dr. Denis Burkitt. See Dr. Burkitt’s F-Word Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-burkitts-f-word-diet/). This reminds me of other interventions like hibiscus tea for high blood pressure (Hibiscus Tea vs. Plant-Based Diets for Hypertension nutritionfacts.org/video/hibiscus-tea-vs-plant-based-diets-for-hypertension/) or amla for diabetes (Amla Versus Diabetes nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/). Better to reverse the disease completely. Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at nutritionfacts.org/video/can-oatmeal-reverse-heart-disease and he'll try to answer it! www.NutritionFacts.org • Facebook: www.facebook.com/NutritionFacts.org • Twitter: www.twitter.com/nutrition_facts • Podcast: nutritionfacts.org/audio/ • Subscribe: http://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ • Donate: www.NutritionFacts.org/donate
