Oats
Health Benefits
“Oats are only fit to be fed to horses and Scotsmen,”
is a traditional saying in England. To which the
Scottish reply is, “and England has the finest horses,
and Scotland the finest men.” Oats offer
powerful nutrition. Oat extract
soothes the skin, which is why
it’s the basis of the Aveeno
products. (Aveeno is the
genus to which oats
belong.) Oats prefer
the cool, wet summers
of Northwest Europe.
They can even be
grown in Iceland.
oats contain 50% more protein than
wheat and 100% more than rice
We load up on oat bran in the
morning so we’ll live forever.
Then we spend the rest of
the day living like there’s no
tomorrow.
