i use organic oatmeal milk...has anyone tried that?

I have never heard of it. Where do you buy it at?

i buy it at my local Shop Rite its where the rice milk is on the shelf.

Friend of mine changed his daily breakfast into cooked rolled oats (cooked in full cream milk) for half a year, and didn't see his LDL going down.

However he though he could eat everything else, since he was on an oats breakfast... so it's not a clearcut example what oats do for your cholesterol.

Oatbran has soluble fibers, which is said helps in lowering LDL when you consume "enough of them".

I get my blood work done next week. I have been eatting oatbran and barley (both soluable fiber) about ever day for 3 months, plus I cut out simple carbs and switched to complex carbs, cut out majority of my sugar and cut out dairy and red meat. eatting more veggies & fruit. I guess I will soon see if these changes helped. It has helped my bllod pressure and I have lost 10 pounds without effort...so hopefully my cholesterol weill be lower also.

steel cut oats is the way to go.

I make an irsh oatmeal / leek soup out of steel cut oats.

I use Nutrim (Natural Oat beta-Glucan Super-Food Developed by the USDA). Product can be found at www.oathealth.com. I believe this is the best natural (& nutritious) product available - hands down.
