Oat Milk

+0.1

Oat milk has a nearly neutral inflammatory profile, with beta-glucan fiber benefits offset by higher carbohydrate content and processing additives.

Ingredient score breakdown

Beta-Glucan

-0.5

Soluble fiber from oats supports gut health and helps reduce cholesterol and inflammation.

Carbohydrates

+0.4

Higher sugar and carb content than nut milks can cause blood sugar fluctuations and mild inflammatory responses.

Fortified Nutrients

-0.1

Added calcium and vitamin D provide modest anti-inflammatory benefits.

Processing Oils

+0.3

Added vegetable oils and emulsifiers in commercial versions may contribute to inflammation.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

Low FODMAP in small servings under 1/2 cup, but larger amounts contain excess fructans that may trigger symptoms.
