  "The oat fiber itself has been shown to act as a prebiotic, boosting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. So, between the lack of animal protein, lack of animal fat, and bursting at the seams with prebiotic fiber, it’s no wonder that oatmeal diets grew to become part of the clinical routine in the treatment of diabetes." #vegan #diabetes https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-science-behind-oatmeal-and-diabetes/

  "Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA, argues that people are losing the ability to think deeply about writing. That doesn’t mean they are forgetting how to decode individual words. Rather, they are losing the higher-order abilities of comprehension and synthesis. America, in other words, isn’t illiterate. It’s postliterate." #GiftLink https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/08/reading-crisis-postliterate-age/687618/?gift=XPfnPsIJYU4sjgFUASyQNZCV3wr--RK5gnVQkTYR5ts&amp...
