when I look up oats online, there are always referred to as the superfood, but I've had a few people say to me that I should avoid them because they reduce the absorption of other nutrition/minerals?

I miss food, dudes. The days go soooo slow. Sigh. Hanging in there.
I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet. I don't mean vegan or vegetarian, but essentially an omnivore diet that's centered on whole plant foods (whole-food plant-based, WFPB) and sometimes adds animal-based and ultraprocessed foods. I'm surprised...
Specially specifics like oxalate free diet or seed cycling, etc. Not the typical “I stopped eating dairy or sugar”
