Is oatmeal good for patients with cardiovascular disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ah, marketing..: The soluble fiber component of oatmeal may yield single digit percentage lowering to total cholesterol. In that sense, it's good for cardiovascular health. In real terms, anything helps, but food labeling is more driven by marketing concerns and benefits.
