Does oatmeal lower cholesterol?

I was wondering if there is a way to prepare oatmeal beside the traditional way that will reduce cholesterol.

Hello and welcome to MedHelp.  I'm happy to try to answer your question but am not sure what you mean. Oatmeal is pretty straight forward.  Are you asking if you can add it to other foods or use it in recipes? There are a variety of healthy grains such as buck wheat or wheat berry that have the same benefit as oatmeal but oatmeal is probably the easiest to make and consume.  What specifically are you speaking of when you say 'the traditional way'?  Here is an entire link dedicate to oatmeal and 'other' ways to prepare it.  https://www.quakeroats.com/cooking-and-recipes.  

You might mill dry oats in your blender then make a smoothie.  This method adds bulk to your smoothie drink and makes it thicker as well.  If you choose to do this,  start with 1/4 cup of dry whole oats.

Good luck...
