Let’s talk about what would happen if you added cereal to your breakfast every morning.
Years of consuming cereal can have serious impacts on your health.
Cereal contains hidden sugar, starch, and carbohydrates. Certain starches and carbohydrates can affect your blood sugar levels even more than sugar can.
Many people think cereal is healthy because it contains whole grains. However, sugar, combined with protein in whole grains, can lead to a myriad of health concerns.
Whole grains also contain gluten, and many people have either an allergy or intolerance to it. Phytic acid in whole grains blocks mineral absorption.
The synthetic vitamins in cereal are also completely different from vitamins in nature. Not to mention that the sugar in the cereal will nullify the effects of the synthetic vitamins.
Many types of cereal contain ingredients that are GMO, as well as artificial colorings and preservatives. Cereal is ultra-processed junk food.
Here are the top issues that can arise if you consume cereal for breakfast every day for just a month:
• Prediabetes
• Exhaustion
• Morning grogginess
• Irritability
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Arthritis
• Brain fog
• Weight gain
• Fatty liver

Copy and paste huh?
@@jon2849Big time
I been eating cereal everyday for breakfast and I haven’t gain weight or experience any other issues suggested. It’s all about calories in and calories out about gaining weight and losing weight
@@TabouliKing🤣🤣🤣…NO
@@TabouliKinghow do you know you have a problem if you been eating it your whole life?what you may call healthy life and energy i can call it misery
i worked in a supermarket for 30 years , i remember for a while especially during the 80s and 90s , the cereal isle was referred to as a power isle because of the high turnover on stock levels. We had to keep a close eye on the stock because items quickly sold out and shelves were often left empty.
That was the hayday of cereals. Demographics (millennial children), marketing, and public health messaging (incorrect food pyramid) all aligned for the ‘power’ sales.
It’s spelled “aisle.”
Gen X was raised on this sugar too. TV commercials from the 70s and 80s destroyed Saturday morning cartoons.
Thanks for the comment.
I did a 70 hour fast and feeling fantastic, intermittent from now on too. Thank you dr, you have helped me alleviate my depression from which I was suffering from for over 13 years. I’ve lost over 5kg in a week and going strong. I hope you can comprehend the healing you provide. You’ve saved lives.. from the bottom of my heart.. thank you!
How do I learn about fasting?
@@ttephi3667nigga u have the whole internet in your hands
@@ttephi3667 dr bergs channel should have the information you need!
There are LOTS of YouTube videos on Intermittent Fasting…do a YT search of that term. @@ttephi3667
Awesome, big congrats!
Shared your video with someone who is retired and eats cereal every day and either is pre-diabetic or has diabetes. I have also shared information with same person about staying away from carbs. Hopefully, this video will help this person. I have known cereal to be bad for a long time, but this new information is very important. Not the same stuff as when I was young and it was the only meal given to me almost every day for breakfast.
Share with that person the benefits of regular walking…it’s amazing!
Good luck! My older boomer friends refuse to watch videos like this, even though they see how much weight I’ve lost since going keto. They were raised on the fda food pyramid, and their doctors never talk about diet, putting them on countless medications instead. They’re all overweight, depressed, and have no energy. Same with their sick fat pets who live on pricey “prescription” foods, which have brewers rice and corn as the first ingredients. If a self proclaimed authority figure tells them to do something, they do it, no questions asked. It’s so frustrating!
@@GingerPeacenikyou are so right. I guess its “natural selection.” A good friend of mine died as a result of poor diet & prescription meds. All I wanted her to do was take vitamin supps, but she refused saying “they could interfere with my prescriptions”, that was my goal. she died 12mos ago.
My sister and I were talking about this just the other day. We were raised on cereal, cup-a-soup and cookies. We did get some “real food” for dinner but it was not enough to make up for the junk food intake. I had most of my teeth pulled by the age of 4 because they were rotten. I have had poor health since I was a kid. I have been able to improve my health thanks to valuable information provided by this channel. Thank you Dr. Berg!
It’s a shame they don’t teach the essentials of life during our schooling.
@@vitalybroshchak4512All by design. There is no money in healthy people.
Could not agree with you more!@@vitalybroshchak4512
I was raised on puffs, cornflakes, red river, oatmeal, shredded wheat. The so called good ones. Never realized it was all sugar.
I was given soda, microwave dinners, fast food and Krispy Kreme donuts for many years of my childhood and continued into my adult life. A huge thanks to pain and Dr. Berg, I have been on a couple year long journey to gain my health. Was at 240 pounds in high school and had emotional waves all throughout my 20’s, now I am at 6 foot and 213 pounds with stable energy and less joint pain than since I was in my teens. These are only a couple examples to gaining my health, there are more benefits to taking Dr. Berg’s advise than I can ever think of. Again, if you read this Doctor, thank you for all you have done!
Ate cereal every morning for decades, even GF cereal once I discovered I was gluten intolerant in my 40’s. Only after watching Dr. Berg describe the effects of consuming cereal did I realize that was the cause of my daily morning stomach upset. Stopped eating it and for the first time in my life, I am not experiencing any digestive issues.
Every type of grain has its on gluten. My friend has her biggest issues with rice gluten, the base of so many so called gluten free products.
@@dawnelder9046 Yup, good point. Everyone always assumes that it’s great to consume GF rice but it just made issues come back again.
Dude, I have been experimenting with diet for many years. I ate NOTHING but Eggo waffles for 3 years, no BS! Your show rocks, learning a lot. Thanks doc!
About the 7th grade, I realized I felt better not eating breakfast.
With tv saying, breakfast was the most important meal of the day, I had adults that were not happy with me.
It wasn’t for about 25 years that I realized breakfast is not a morning meal. It is breaking a fast. If I would’ve known this back then, I would’ve had a smarter answer.
Thank you Dr. Berg for teaching this & all the good healthy info!
So what’s your smarter answer now then since your a grown-up
@@ferguson8143
Breakfast is just a marketing term used to encourage consumption of cereals, breads, grains, etc. All do more harm than good!
As a parent of a child whose a picky eater, I tell my child to eat breakfast at school because he doesn’t eat lunch. I don’t want to force him, but I’m just very concerned about him getting hungry.
@@cutenobiIf he is not hungry why force him to eat? The body does not need food in the morning at all. Let the child eat when he/she is hungry.
I chose not to fall asleep in class, but to break my fast at lunchtime. And yes, lunch still made me sleepy but at the age of 12 in the 70s I didn’t know what the real problem was. So I didn’t know the best food to keep me going.
-Being drowsy in class does not make for good grades.
I eat one meal a day as you suggested and I lost weight and I don’t require as much sleep also no brain fog and so on…. Thank you Dr. Berg for all you do with your videos 😊
Amazing. Keep up the good work!
Eat one meal a day? What do you eat and how much and what time do you eat you one meal? No snacks?
@@deborahfeagle9758don’t tell me that you also suffer from the “I believe everything I see and read on YouTube syndrome”
@@ytr3488 I’m always doing research. Asking questions is a good thing. That doesn’t mean I jump and do everything said. Decernment is the key. Dont worry about me. God gives me guidance. Judging people is not a good thing. Look in the mirror and be responsible and care for who you see in it. God bless!
@@deborahfeagle9758Dr. Berg has videos on doing OMAD (One meal a day). It jump starts your metabolism and helps reduce inflammation and increases autophogy(sp). Autophogy(sp) increases destruction of bad and old cells, and the housekeeping department of the body can clean up the mess, 😉. Housekeeping works better when guests aren’t checking into rooms, bell boys aren’t running through the hallways, or guests milling about in the lobby. So limiting the guests and bell boys (food), allows other body functions to happen.
Great information! I was eating the breakfast bars you showed, i didn’t realize the amount of sugar in them! I used to eat the same cereals as you did but stopped eating cereal last year because of the junk. Keep up the good work Dr!
Thanks for your comment. Glad you like the video.
This should be illegal. Thanks dr berg for raising the awareness of these toxic foods 😊
No problem. Glad to share this.
In the US, every breakfast place at a hotel serves cereal to kids .
I grew up eating cereal but realized late how bad they are.
We need to create more awareness for health of our children
No kidding, I’ve only stopped the cereal for a few years. No regrets!
CORN SYRUP & FOOD DYE COLORS
Not only in the US. Almost every all-inclusive hotel and resort in the world serve a variety of cereal.
It’s wild right, im currently living out here in VIetnam and its like America in teh 80’s when it comes to food
I see these kids pounding so much food that really in it all is just sugar and processed sh**
I work as a teacher, and all i see is fat Vietnaemse kids, every one is constantly tired, and ADHD is common play
In Europe you get a roll. Not a lot of difference.
The way my mothers generation was brainwashed in the 1950’s and 60’s was sad. Just like Crisco was a con job targeted at overworked housewives looking for anything to make life easier, throwing sugary whole grain goodness with dyes and cartoon characters at 5 impatient kids did a similar thing. Ready in 2 minutes, clean up is a breeze, and kids are placated with sugars and processed carbs (for 30 minutes, until they could be shipped to school).
It’s because we all trusted the government back then. No more and probably never again in my lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, Dr Berg. I was also a big fan of cereals, pancakes and muffins for breakfast since I was a kid. Thankfully learning from you enjoying healthy meals and feeling better everyday 🙏🏻💕
Went back to eating “healthy” cereals every day about 8 years ago. Blood draw numbers were going in the wrong direction. Stopped cold turkey 6 months ago after suspicions about the cereal. Everything is headed in the right direction again.
I had a cereal obsession for most of my life. It was one of my favorite food items, however knowing all these foods are essentially junk, I’ve completely dropped them from my diet. It’s been 1 year on a low carb keto-carnivore diet and I don’t miss any of this crap now. And yeah, I feel much better now than I ever did.
Dr. Berg probably wouldn’t approve, buy I’m a cereal lover and I also have to do keto due to issues I have.
Magic Spoon is the bomb for low carb no sugar cereal that tastes great.
I owe my kids an apology for feeding them junk food !
Cereals are now banned in our homes!
Thank you for your thoughts!
