I have been reading conflicting information about steel cut/ thick rolled oatmeal, and whether or not it's a good food choice. Can you please clarify? Thank you.

If there are sugars then they should be on the label. If sugars are on the label, then stay away from the food. Scott Kristi,

It does no good to kick sugar out of your life if you are still going to eat the foods that act like sugar. Sprouted grains are better for you, but try staying away from them for 30 days as an experiment. Despite what you hear, grains are not a great source of nutrients. The foods with the most nutrients are fruits and vegetables. There is no doubt that grains are hard to stay away from (most of us are addicted to them). Best of luck! Scott Celeste,

That's sugar right? Which is more important, the amount of grams or the ingredient list? Why do food labels say “Sugars – 0 grams” then have fructose,corn syrup, etc… in the ingredients.

Even the sprouted, flourless bread is off-limits? If so, what replacements do you encourage for those of us who love our whole grains?? I always thought that whole grains were considered super foods for the body. Thanks! Hi Dr. Scott,

Most Americans eat around 90-110 grams of protein every day. If you talk to weight lifters, they say around 120-140 grams a day. The Dietary guidelines for the US say around 60 grams (for a typical male), and the World Health Organization suggests somewhere between 30 and 40 grams. Most people get enough protein and I wouldn't worry about supplementing more (like the creatine). Scott Steve,
