"Flavor companies are huge plants comprised of a small and elite group of skilled scientists ("food technologists" or "flavorists") who work in labs to find the right chemical balance in test tubes to give you the flavor of those french fries, and even the flavor in toothpastes, ice cream, breakfast cereals, chips, pet food, cookies, mouthwashes, antacids, soft drinks, sports drinks, bottled teas, wine coolers, all-natural juice drinks, organic soy drinks, beers, and malt liquors. These same plants manufacture the smells found in fine perfumes, as well as household products (e.g." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"When corn oil and chips and sugary breakfast cereals can all boast being good for your heart, health claims have become hopelessly corrupt. The American Heart Association currently bestows (for a fee) its heart-healthy seal of approval on Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, andTrix cereals, Yoo-hoo lite chocolate drink, and Healthy Choice's Premium Caramel Swirl Ice Cream Sandwich—this at a time when scientists are coming to recognize that dietary sugar probably plays a more important role in heart disease than dietary fat." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "Where once the familiar names of recognizable comestibles—things like eggs or breakfast cereals or snack foods—claimed pride of place on the brightly colored packages crowding the aisles, now new, scientific-sounding terms like "cholesterol" and "fiber" and "saturated fat" began rising to large-type prominence. More important than mere foods, the presence or absence of these invisible substances was now generally believed to confer health benefits on their eaters." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"The reader also learns about the potential dangers of medical diagnosis and treatment, as well as the reasons vitamin supplements, "health foods," low-fat products, "wholesome" breakfast cereals, diet foods, and diet programs may have contributed to the current health crisis rather than helped to resolve it. The book includes a complete program of health care, which is primarily based on the ancient medical system of Ayurveda and the vast amount of experience Andreas Moritz has gained in the field of health restoration during the past thirty years." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Also, including foods like whole grain breakfast cereals and other whole grain food items are associated with keeping healthy and trim. And the examples go on and on. The 101 Foods You may be wondering how I came up with these 101 foods. For starters, I turned in part to the concept of "nutrient density." Adam Drewnowski, director of the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington, is one of many researchers who have been tackling the challenge of developing a system for consumers that clearly shows which foods are the healthiest." - David W.

Use seat belts and bike helmets." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Enriched white flour has less than a quarter of the zinc found in whole wheat flour because the zinc is lost in milling. Many breakfast cereals are fortified with zinc. Zinc deficiency in agricultural samples is very common with only a small percentage of agricultural soils providing adequate zinc. :ion of Zinc Zinc absorption in the intestines varies from 15 to 40 percent. Zinc can be absorbed by a special protein in the intestinal cells called metallothionein. As you may recall, this is the same protein that can bind copper. Zinc is held by metallothionein until needed in the blood." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

A number of other investigators have attempted to associate foods or food types with the onset or relapse of IBD. The studies are often contradictory and the relationships between food and disease are often based on the patients' attempt to recall foods consumed prior to the onset of symptoms, and seldom related to markers of inflammation or histological changes." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The CDC recommends increased folic acid intake (supplements or fortified breakfast cereals) and charges health care professionals to recommend these to women of child-bearing age [26].

"They found a link to the excessive intake of vitamins through American fortified foods, such as breakfast cereals. It seems the American predilection for fortifying everything with vitamins has gone haywire. As a result, the Danes banned Kellogg's vitamin-fortified cereal. On December 8, 2004, a spokesperson for that country was quoted by nutraingredients.com as saying that "the Danish population already has a high intake of calcium, iron, B6 and folic acid . . . the knowledge on toxicity of vitamins and minerals is very limited and practically nonexistent for children . . ." - J.

"Processed and packaged foods such as sugar and refined white flour, and the products made from them, such as candy, soft drinks, desserts, breakfast cereals, and breads, are almost totally lacking in fatty acids, minerals, and enzymes. In addition, they form acids and contain toxic chemicals which are added as preservatives to prolong shelf life and enhance flavor. When food lacks one or more of the six essential ingredients listed above, the body has to borrow resources from its own tissues to process it." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Most processed foods contain them, including breads, crisps, chips, doughnuts, crackers, biscuits, pastries, almost all baked goods, cake and frosting mixes, baking mixes, frozen dinners, sauces, frozen vegetables, and breakfast cereals. In other words, nearly all foods that are shelved, processed, refined, preserved, and not fresh can contain trans fats. They inhibit the cell's ability to use oxygen, which is required to burn foodstuffs to carbon dioxide and water. Of course, cells that are inhibited in completing their metabolic processes are likely to become cancerous." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Avoid commercial breakfast cereals, which are usually laden with sugar and include hydrogenated fats. Instead, choose breakfast cereals that include organic barley, bran, or oats and are free of hydrogenated fats. • Avoid all sugars, including both granulated sugar and brown sugar. • Bake, grill, or steam your foods, using extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil only sparingly. • Avoid the use of high-fat dressings, gravies, and sauces.

"Historically, oat grain was widely used for making breakfast cereals, but this application has declined with the increased availability of wheat grains. Avena has a mild, creamy flavor and is probably best known for its use in breakfast cereals. However, both seed and grain can be used in other ways. Oatmeal is a popular and nutritious food, well suited for individuals with stomach problems. Ground oat seed is historically used as a poultice for the treatment of dry skin and eczema. While avena has been used mainly as food, there is significant research confirming its medicinal value." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"Believe it or not, this can be found in some seemingly healthy foods—many flavored yogurts, granola bars, energy bars, and breakfast cereals contain HFCS. Look for all other refined sugars in all their forms on the ingredients label, as manufacturers try to trick you into thinking their foods do not contain a lot of sugar." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "No sugars or artificial sweeteners means not drinking sodas, diet sodas, or fruit juice (unless freshly squeezed) and not eating candy, cakes, cookies, ice cream, most factory-made breads, many crackers and breakfast cereals, condiments such as ketchup, and salad dressings. Because sugars are so prevalent in our food, I could go on for pages. Suffice it to say that you must read food labels carefully, looking for the offending names I just listed. Please remember, when reading labels, that 4 grams of sugar is equivalent to 1 teaspoon." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "Look at your breakfast cereals, white breads, salad dressing, pasta sauces, yogurts, granola and health bars, canned fruits, and so on. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, found in most packaged meat products and deli meats. They are precursor chemicals to powerful carcinogenic compounds that are well known to contribute to cancers of the digestive system. If you have packaged or factory-farmed meat—hot dogs, lunch meats, any meat or poultry that is not labeled "organic"—and can't bear to throw it out, eat it." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"I ate donuts and pizza and breakfast cereals like Frosted Flakes. I lived on cow's milk, red meat and snack foods made with monosodium glutamate, artificial colors, hydrogenated oils and all sorts of other toxic ingredients. So, if you find yourself being shocked by learning the truth about this, join the club! We're all shocked once we learn the truth about our foods!

You can change your future health outcome by choosing foods that actually have their nutritional content intact." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Breads, bagels, soup mixes, 'health' bars, breakfast cereals, 'cholesterol-free' vegetable oils, and 'low-fat' biscuits and crackers are just a few of the many 'pseudo-foods' that fall into this very category." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Eating carbohydrate-containing foods, whether high in sugar or high in starch (such as bread, potatoes, processed breakfast cereals, and rice), temporarily raises blood sugar and insulin levels.9 The blood sugar-raising effect of a food, called its "glycemic index," depends on how rapidly its carbohydrate is absorbed. Many starchy foods have a glycemic index similar to sucrose (table sugar).10 People eating large amounts of foods with high glycemic indices (such as those mentioned above), have been reported to be at increased risk of type 2 diabetes." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"Added to a large number of manufactured foods, including breakfast cereals, niacin also is not without risks. After large doses of niacin (3g) were given to patients suffering from psychiatric diseases, these patients developed hepatitis and other liver problems. Among other symptoms of niacin-poisoning are hot flushes, itching skin, arrhythmia, and nervousness. Illegal use of niacin in minced meat and hamburgers has repeatedly led to similar symptoms. The main reason for adding niacin to meat is to color it red and give it the appearance of being fresh." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Many people use it in their breakfast cereals and for baking. 3. D-Mannose for Bladder/Kidney Infections D-Mannose is considered to be a simple sugar, like glucose. It is naturally found in cranberry and pineapple juice. When D-Mannose is ingested into the body, most of it is rapidly absorbed through the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract before reaching the intestines. The result is that almost all of the sugar is emptied into the urine through the kidneys, and only a very small amount of D-Mannose is actually metabolized by the body." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "So they fed the common breakfast cereals enriched with the most important vitamins and minerals to young, healthy laboratory rats. The researchers divided a total of 240 rats into two groups; one group received cereal and water and the other one normal food and water. The experiment lasted for 45 days. The result was totally unexpected and devastating. The rats that were fed with cereals, which according to common nutritional sense and advertising should have turned them into strong and vital grown-up rats, were close to death. They suffered from fatty livers, anemia and high blood pressure." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The foods that have the most acidifying effects in the body include milk, dairy products, meat and its products, tinned or frozen foods, white bread, pasta and pastry made from bleached and refined flour, refined sugar, alcoholic beverages, diet beverages, soft drinks, sports drinks, packaged fruit juices, preserved foods, processed breakfast cereals, chocolates, ready-made cakes, potato chips (crisps), hydrogenated oils and fats, and most fast/junk foods. The exaggerated ratio of daily-required vitamins may apply only to the severely undernourished person." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
