Maybe you should really be hoping that the report you're using to justify eating oats is substantial. The usual cycle of these things is someone pays for some research (probably the trade group for oats). Research is done and finds something tiny, perhaps coincidental, ill-trained journalists see it published somewhere and make it sound awesome.

Anyone remember the chocolate study? It was totally fake, yet everyone jumped on that bandwagon and it turns out the researchers were actually studying how quick and completely a study can be blown out of proportion and how widely reported. There are probably still people eating chocolate based on that fake study.

Now, it may well be that the people eating oatmeal that didn't get sick were eating Captain Crunch before. An improvement on the SAD doesn't necessarily mean it is an improvement on your diet which is probably pretty good anyway.

So, IMHO, do what you want because you chose too, don't base it off a study of questionable reliability. Also, any food you can think of has a study casting it into a glowing light.
