You are saying, if I eat old fashioned rolled oats, instead of quick oats, I won't have the spikes? That just never occured to me. I will try it this week as I need to buy a new box anyway. When my kids were all at home, I used the rolled oats all the time as they were cheaper, but the kids hated them. I was reminded of that a while back when one of my kids spied my quick oats box.

Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre, y mi padre,
Canta mi corazon, Para los ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre.
I got music runnin' in my head,
Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'......
I got music runnin' in my brain,
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.
Canta libre, Canta la vida,
siempre conmigo, canta libre...
