Definitely shows the comparative power of medications. Statins, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors can reduce LDL or ApoB by 85-95%.
> Statins, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors can reduce LDL or ApoB by 85-95% What? Absolutely not. Not even close. Provide a source if you really believe this.

Hardly “nothing else”. Two smoothies a day with 150g of oats blended in them will basically cover this. You’d still have plenty of room for other food.
But that's not what the study tested. The study showed that both calorie restriction, and calorie restriction combined with almost all calories from oats, reduced cholesterol; but that the effect was more durable for the latter case. No data was gathered on eating oats without calorie restriction in this study.
Also the paper says that the "Oats only" people were allowed to eat other fruits and vegetables with their meals.
Oatmeal is food of the gods - BUT only if you don't pollute is with all sorts of add ons. Oatmeal and milk, nothing more. No fruit no nuts no sugar no honey no sprinkles of whatever. Perfect.

I think the main thing is to understand why oatmeal works: soluble fiber and the gut bacteria feeding on the carbs. That can be achieved within many other diets too. I wish they were more specific in saying what's special about oats, if anything. I also get upset when I see a ton of junk options at the grocery store. They are talking about plain cut oats and whole fresh fruit, but based on the way shelves are stocked…
Effects on but biome are real too, and apparently beneficial, and may factor in, but it isn't the only (or necessarily the primary) mechanism for reducing serum cholesterol.
300 grams of oatmeal a day, basically nothing else, and your LDL only goes down 10%.

If you are taking out the sugar you might as well go all the way and take out the milk.

Yea it’s on the oatmeal boxes even. Part of what’s interesting about this study though is they claim this two day intensive(300g per day) oatmeal diet showed microbiome changes which persist for months.
Oatmeal is fine, but has nothing on hulled barley. Oats are for horses. Mankind basically co-evolved with Barley.
