Excellent advice Ginger!
Oat Groats make a wonderful breakfast as do other whole grains. To hasten their cooking just soak them overnight, rinse, the grind them in a blender to make them smaller so they will cook faster. You shouldn't get much nutrient reduction, and if you did, it actually may be offset the nutrient loss that would occur from the prolonged cooking of the whole grain groats.
Quinoa and Amaranth pudding also make a great breakfast and can be prepared the previous day.

Ginger,
Great information on HFCS! This is something that I feel is awfully important. I have written about it several times, most recently at "The Fructose Puzzle," http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/17/1945/fructose-puzzle/pf/

Dogs and diabetes too

I think corn is almost every packaged product we buy, including dog food. Diabetes in dogs is on the rise.
Try buying dog treats and finding one without sweetner. The dog foods with moist bites have HFCS too.

High fructose corn syrup and my new Type 1 diabetes

I'm 31 years old. Was always as fit as can be. Still am.
But for years, in my teens and early 20's, I lived on soda. Mountain Dew mostly. About 4-5 cans per day.
At 25 years old, I was diagnosed with TYPE 1 DIABETES. No one else in my family has had diabetes.
My pancreas has completely shut down and stopped producing insulin. This is irreversible and I now must inject myself with insulin before every meal.
Coincidence?
In fact, I'd really like to talk to a good lawyer about it…
But I know I'd be wasting my time :(
At least now I know to completely avoid the stuff. Too little too late.
