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

    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.

    • @DuncanL7979 on January 3, 2024 at 12:55 pm

      That was the hayday of cereals. Demographics (millennial children), marketing, and public health messaging (incorrect food pyramid) all aligned for the ‘power’ sales.

    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.

      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!

    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.

    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.
