"In 1960, researchers at Ann Arbor University performed and interesting experiment on laboratory rats. Eighteen rats were divided into three groups.
One group recieved CORNFLAKES and water;
a second group was given the cardboard box that the CORNFLAKES came in and water;
and the control group received rat chow and water.
The rats in the control group remained in good health throughout the experiment. The rats recieving the box became lethargic and eventually died of malnutrition. But the rats receiving CORNFLAKES and water died before the rats who were given the box - the last CORNFLAKE rat died on the day the first box rat died.
Before death the CORNFLAKE rats developed schizophrenic behavior, threw fits, bit each other and finally went into convulsions. Autopsy revealed dysfuntion of the pancreas, liver and kidneys and degeneration of the nerves in the spine - all signs of "insulin shock:. The startling conclusion of this study is that there is more nourishment in the box that cold breakfast cereals come in than in the cereals themselves.
Loren Zanier, the designer of the experiment, actually proposed the protocol as a joke. But the results are far from funny. They were never published and similar studies have not been repeated. If consumers new the truth about breakfast cereals, vast fortunes wouldbe jeapordized" ~Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions p. 468-9
Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats, Sally Fallon with Pat Connolly and Mary G Enig, PhD: Full spectrum nutritional cookbook that dispels many myths about animal fats and traditional foods.
Another thing to note is the fact that most people eat their cereal with homogenized, pasteurized milk and white table sugar.....both of these items would make matters much WORSE.
