That may be so, but....

Oats contain a type of fibre called beta-glucan (also found in ample amounts in barley but few other grains). Oats also have a unique antioxidant called avenanthramides. Both of these clean your bad cholesterol out real nice.

Sometimes less is more.

I'll stick to eating both oats and buckwheat. I love them both. Oh... that and I add ground flaxseed to each. Fiberlicious!
