Quaker oats instant bad?

[geminitwins]

How bad are these if im trying to eat clean?

They are sweetened with splenda and sugar.

The instant oats are processed more so that they cook faster. Try to get the "old-fashioned" oats. These take longer to cook, but I think they are less processed and therefore preferable. Ang

Even the old fashioned only take 2.5-3 min to cook in the microwave. Mix in a little splenda (no sugar) and they are YUMMY!

I keep a big bag of them at work w/ a scoop in it. Hell I carry a big bag of old-fashioned oatmeal w/ me just about every where. I often wonder if they think I"m smuggling drugs in my suitcase between the bags of oatmeal, the bags of protein mix & the other assorted stuff - glutamine powder, flax meal, etc.

Yeah I was worried about my ziplock full of vanilla protien powder! (ever seen anthrax spores? They look exactly the same!).

I've been doing it for 5 yrs now. I imagine they wonder for a minute, but it's never been a problem. Just make sure you double bag in case you get a blow out.

I was reading in Oxygen mag, that very question (Issue: Feb 2005 page: 72)
Question: Is quicker Quaker better? Marla Duncan Answered. She said that this was one of the toughest questions she has received in a long time. To make a long answer short; after comparing the two, visiting the web sites they are both the exactly the same. the only difference is that one is one take 1 min to cook and the other 15.
