The latest food product controversy surrounds Quaker oats and other oats products. Now l have been consuming quaker oats for years believing that lt is super healthy and no problems could arise..
Of course this is not the first - and won't be the last time that food products we have been consuming for decades believing to be good for us are suddenly labeled as being bad for us.
Then a few years later new research finds that the same product is not so bad afterall.
Sometimes l wonder what l should really eat. Before real civilization people survived on natural stuff and hunted for food, l wonder how many illnesses were around in those times..
You can read about the Quaker oats problem in the link.
The young man in the picture is a hunter. Can you guess which century he is from?

You are right. Just like eggs. Years ago, we were told not to consume too much egg yolks because of cholesterol issues. Now, people are encouraged to eat eggs, including yolks because those are good cholesterol.
I have also consumed Quaker oatmeal for many years. Well..

Eggs were also the first thing that came to mind when I read this.

@Kandae11 - Switzerland has banned many pesticides, but we import vegetables and fruits from Spain, Italy and other countries, so I know I eat pesticides.
You can notice a metal buckle on this picture, now those were invented around 1300, not before.

. I guess a bit earlier than 17th. My conclusion is eat what is there but a variety in small portions.

I guess it's not the oat itself, but contamination in the product . . . geez, there seems to be too much of that going on lately. I suppose there are no foods with no issues . . . if we think too much about it, then there is nothing left to eat. Perhaps the key is eating in moderation and having variety.

I haven't heard anything about Quaker Oats and like you, assumed it was good to eat.

Scientists do that to alarm people about the food they eat. I keep buying the food I know is healthy for me. Science will get it right again eventually.
I've eaten oatmeal all my life. I won't stop now.
His clothing suggests the 1200s is my guess.

There was an article last week in which 96 people in the USA were tested for some other chemical residue found in oats which is not deadly and about 70 tested positive.
The headlines screamed that 80% of Americans are infected with a dangerous chemical!
It is more difficult these days to separate wheat from chaff. Your hunter's hair is a bit too clean to be from olden days, I guess he is a bit more modern.
