Some of these are typos on WW part and a lot of the clarifications are due to abuses of the Core program going on by members. Those crafty little members! Nope, can't grind oats into out flour.
Don't get mad at WW, the Core program was intended to be simple and basic, to teach us to get in touch with our satiety signals, and get us to eat Mother Nature's foods rather than conveyor belt foods.
