Anyone else noticing the oat milk trend?
So I've been doing this kind of job for long enough to remember about 10 years ago when soy lattes were popular then all of a sudden a fear mongering campaign against all things soy kind of killed it as a popular alternative milk. Has anyone else noticed similar trends going on with oat milk? It feels like theres all of a sudden a big push for how unhealthy oatmilk is for you and people are starting to vear away from it. Has anyone else caught onto this? What do you think the new champ of alternitve milks will be? submitted by /u/Eris_Bunny to r/barista [link] [comments]

RE:Whole Milk Transition
With my first we just did it cold turkey. He didn’t like whole milk so we did oat instead, but he had plenty of other dairy in his diet. If your baby is used to warm milk, try warming it if they won’t drink it cold. With this baby I’ll probably try to do it cold turkey again, but I’ll start before I completely run out of formula so I can mix it and transition slowly if necessary

Are any oat milks healthy?
I love Chobani extra creamy oatmilk, and make myself a latte with it every day. However, some people say oat milk is unsafe -- e.g., this person: The majority of oatmilks are “creamy” because the 2nd ingredient is sunflower oil or canola oil or another crappy seed oil. Oats are one of the most pesticide-sprayed crops AND they can grow mold easily. That’s a 1-2 punch of something I absolutely don’t want. Unless I’m buying Organic, but then I still have to worry about the rest of the list. The “natural sugars” from the hydrolization process spikes blood sugar levels more rapidly than natural sugars like lactose. I’d rather something sugar-free anyways, like an unsweetened soy. Problematic with most grocery non-milks regardless of what they are, they have a lot of stabilizers and emulsifiers and more research is coming out that all these ingredients that weren’t in our diets decades ago are really beginning to mess us up. Are there any oat milks out there that are safe? Would also be interested in hearing if anyone has any recommendations on safe dairy alternatives which work well for steaming submitted by /u/a1_jakesauce_ to r/nutrition [link] [comments]

How long did it take to heal from the evilness of oat milk?
Sometimes when I go to a coffee shop I get my coffee with oat milk and I wanted to give up my mocha peppermint creamer (so good) so I went to the grocery store and bought myself a 1/2 gallon of oat milk! BIG. MISTAKE. I started having it two - three times a day in my coffee starting Monday, April 15. Soon after I started having an upset stomach and each day it got worse. I thought maybe it was the red wine I had, or the pasta sauce…. (Two things I have regularly). Then I got acne all over my face! This is only day 4 when the acne appears. Day 6 I think OMG! Oat milk! That’s the only thing I’ve added to my diet. So today is my first day without it and I am obviously not feeling any better. Everything I consume upsets my stomach. Since I’ve discovered the culprit, I’ve read so many posts re how awful oat milk is for some but nobody has posted (or I haven’t found) about how long it took for your stomach to heal after giving it up. I cannot believe how f***ed I feel after only 5 days of oat milk! I will never betray cows milk again!!! submitted by /u/Kayotic_me to r/GutHealth [link] [comments]

Is oat milk unhealthy?
I came across a post on Facebook of a popular doctor saying that whole milk is better for you than oat milk. I obviously disagree with that, but found this comment interesting. I eat overnight oats multiple times a week and use oat milk as a milk substitute in many dishes. I buy oat milk that is just made of oats and water, no added sugars, oils, or anything else. I always thought oats were healthy because they’re whole grain with a ton of fiber. Can anyone explain why people are saying they are unhealthy? submitted by /u/cediirna to r/PlantBasedDiet [link] [comments]

Oat Milk bad for Reproductive Organs?
Barista here! Just had a customer order a Pumpkin Spice Latte and when I said Oat milk was our nondairy option, he backed away and said “whether you know it or not, oat milk messes with your reproductive organs.” I then spelled O-A-T to confirm and said, “well I drink it all day so that’s great” He confirmed oat and walked away.
