Right, then...
OK, so the Dr says that my cholesterol is a bit high and that I should do something about that. I know - via Wilford Brimley, disturbingly enough - that oatmeal lowers cholesterol. I have heard that steel-cut oats are better than rolled oats (a la Quaker). Problem is that steel-cut oats - even the quick-cook kind - are a bit of a PITA to cook, compared to rolled oats.
My question, then is, is there that much of a difference between steel-cut and rolled oats? I mean, by sheer virtue of eating oats instead of a deep-fried bacon, butter and cheese sandwich every morning, I'm doing better. But am I just wasting my time if I take the easy way out with the rolled oats?
...and yes, this is a first-world problem
