Oatmeal

I've been exploring oatmeal. The other day I noticed that the instant oatmeal I was eating had 10g of sugar per package. I thought it's a little bit too much for just one package, isn't it? According to wikipedia, it says "the type of instant, boil-in-bag oatmeal that is common in America, has many artificial additives, an extremely high content of carbohydrates (about 70% carbohydrates and 167 calories per bag), and a fairly low content of oats in itself. This sugar content easily makes up for the other health benefits of the oatmeal, and makes the end result an unhealthy breakfast."

That is exactly what I am concerned about. Oatmeal should be very healthy but it turns out an unhealthy meal if you don't pay enough attention to what contains. Eating oatmeal isn't always good but considering what contains in it is more important.

So I went to the Wholefoods near my place and looked around. What a surprise! There are so many oatmeal packages that contain lots of sugar! So I chose the one with 0g sugar. I don't know about the taste, so let's see if I would like it or not.

This incident reminds me of something; the bitter the taste is, the healthier it is. My mother always said that when we had to take medicine, "if it tastes awful, it means the medicine is good." Because if you think about it, if it tastes sweet for taking medicine easier, that means it's added sugar. ugh.... At least this oatmeal should be healthy... hahaha
