I like to grind oatmeal in my protein shakes because they are full of fiber and it makes things quick and simple. I should have known that nothing is simple in the world of bodybuilding. There are usually two camps for or against any particular issue. In this case it happens to be about whether grinding oatmeal will raise it's GI Index to a point that it becomes more of a detriment to weight control.
What I have found out so far has been "broscience" coupled with some valid points, those being ground oatmeal will require less digestion and quicker digestion might mean a slightly higher GI Index. Essentially the information I found leads me to believe if you are really worried about Ground Oatmeal being higher in the GI Index you have a slightly stricter diet than the average individual and therefore it should not be a major cause of concern.
