[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Oat milk is one of the popular beverage choices in recent years, but is oat milk really healthy?

In this regard, An Xinyu, a family medicine physician at Chiayi Christian Hospital, said that oatmeal is rich in dietary fiber and can help control cholesterol.

But the more processed it is, the lower its nutritional content.

The main component of oat milk is carbohydrates, the protein content is lower than that of soy milk, and the calcium content is much lower than that of milk.

Commercially available oat milk usually has a lot of additives and is a delicately processed product.

An Xinyu posted on the Facebook page "Doctor An Xinyu" that although oatmeal is not low in calories, it has high nutritional value.

It is rich in dietary fiber and contains water-soluble fiber (β-glucan), which can improve satiety, help control cholesterol, defecate, and increase good intestinal bacteria. The highest fiber content is the outermost layer of oat bran .

Some are flavored and easy to consume more sugar.

In addition, An Xinyu added that the main nutrients of oat milk are carbohydrates, the protein content is lower than that of soy milk, and the calcium content is much lower than milk.
