I love my cereal and was eating two bowls each day until recently. I have cut down to one and was having a mixture of honey nut cornflakes (Kellogs) and mini honey nut shredded wheat. I had a check this morning and the honey nut cornflakes are 30% sugar! The mini honey nut shredded wheat are 15% sugar.
I found some rice crispies which were ca 8% sugar and so will combine these with my mini honey nut shredded wheat for now. If you are going to overeat for one meal, the best one would be breakfast, since you have the rest of the day to burn off the calories. Having read a few of those articles about exercise, diet and weight loss recently, the suggestion was that sugar was the enemy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-32417699 |

Mitchell’s very funny the way he exasperatedly cuts through the nonsense, but in this case he’s plain wrong for two reasons.
As Facts says, the wheat we eat today is genetically altered from the wheat we ate for a few thousand years, the man that created our wheat got a Nobel Prize for it in 1970. At its worst, wheat will destroy your intestines, but most people who have given it up, myself included, have observed a massive improvement in health, including a complete reversal of the sugar addiction that masks itself as ‘taste’. You think you like the taste, the truth is closer to a need for it created by the wheat polypeptides binding with opiate receptors in the brain. The other point about wheat is, we’ve eaten it for a few thousand years but for at least 2.5 million years we didn’t eat it because it isn’t a natural food for humans and we had no idea how to make it edible. So in terms of our evolution, we’ve been eating it since last Thursday. |

If we can't eat wheat then that procludes cereal (easy), bread (hmm quite like bread) and what else? Pasta? That just leaves rice and spuds, and someone told me off earlier on this thread for eating too many spuds.

I forgot, also they have blood samples going back prior to the introduction of the wheat we now eat and the incidence of Celiac disease, the most damaging consequence of wheat consumption, is four times higher than it was 60 years ago.

I know it sounds melodramatic and conspiracy theory nuts, but no one is going to wake you up from this food Matrix we are living in but you. I really think it is that serious, if you think it's nuts laughable, stupid then fine. But from where I stand, your GP, the drug companies and food companies have no interest in you being well and healthy, they want you buying, sick and addicted.

The most unhealthy thing about Mcdonalds is actually the bread. |

a bowl of cereal is just a bowl of sugar. avoid if you can. I haven't had any cereal for nearly a year now and I don't miss it, even porridge which I used to quite like (with raisins or sultanas)
Off to buy some "grass-fed butter", sounds lovely. Don't suppose Aldi's stock it ?  |

Jumbo oats arrived from Holland and Barrett. Will give a taste report later, but on first inspection they are not as 'jumbo' as they used to be. Scotts may be bigger.
Disappointed. Hope Facts will enjoy his! |
