I can't speak for Dr. Esselstyn, but I can tell you
that oats are about 15% calories from fat(CCF). The
type of fiber they contain is beneficial in lowering
cholesterol, but for those of us whose diet is 10% CCF
or less, oats are not at the top of our list.

The people who make products with oats have done a
very effective job at making this grain sound like the
great magic bullet, but just remember that the fabled
campaign called 'truth in advertising' was the product
of an advertising agency.
