6. Benefits: Heart Health

Oats have a well-deserved reputation for contributing to cardiovascular health. They contain beta-glucan, a type of fiber that helps lower cholesterol. Several studies demonstrate that oat beverages retain this capability. The Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism published a study showing consuming oat milk for five weeks reduced bad and total cholesterol levels more than rice milk. The University of Lund in Sweden reported similar results from consuming oat milk over four weeks.
