The catch

Because they are rolled thin for a two minute cook time, quick oats digest faster and can raise blood sugar more quickly than steel cut oats, even though the only ingredient is whole grain oats. (source)

The honest take

This is about as clean as a pantry staple gets. The only ingredient is whole grain oats, and a 1/2 cup dry serving gives you 6g of protein and 4g of fiber with 0g of added sugar and 0mg of sodium. A health minded shopper reaches for this when they want a blank canvas they can control, since you decide what goes on top instead of buying a flavored packet loaded with sugar. The main reason to hesitate is that these are quick oats, rolled thinner so they cook in a couple of minutes, which makes them digest faster than steel cut or thick rolled oats.
