Well, yes and no. Oats are a good healthy food choice but we're not horses so we can't digest it like they can. I see you suggest letting them slow cook overnight so that likely makes them more digestible.

I always loved oat as a kid but the kids nowadays don't eat oats. At least not the old fashioned roll oats. They do eat the instant packets that are half ruined by all that sugar.

Full disclosure: sugar is my weakness -- I lover fruit juices. But I've manage to reduce my intake by 75% when I cut them from my diet. I still treat myself once a week to juice or coffee though. Always in moderation.
