'How to Choose a Breakfast Cereal'

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

On the face of it this looks like a very intelligently put together

list.

Possibly the rest of the website is worth investigation too. But I

haven't really looked.

Cheerios, the first cereal recommended is a standby of mine.

Mirkin is Dr Gabe Mirkin's wife. Dr Mirkin as I posted recently is a

prominent and well respected physician here in the Washington, DC area

I like Dr. Mirkin & still listen to his radio show when I can ... he's

into whole foods, but not completely conservative with medical

treatment. I used to take 's cooking class in '96 ... I was a

vegetarian then.

Only two maybe three have not a lot of sodium added.

Mini wheats by Kellogg's the other by Mother's I think. I use store brands (Kroger, HEB) so I can't recall all. One is not frosted.

All others have too much unnecessary sodium.

But why not just eat plain oatmeal, plain cream of rice(Nabisco), Heartland Bulgur wheat, Hodgson Cracked Wheat, Quaker quick grits, "3 minute" oat bran. takes only 5 mins in uwave.

I've been able to get several other raw grains from HF stores, like quinoa, millet,

Regards.

Thank you for your comments. I figure that the cereal article is directed

to assist those eating the SAD (largest audience), rather than those accomplished

in ON ... or those more nutritionally observant . He's put out two cookbooks,

and the foods & recipes use only whole grains. BTW, there is a quick

version of hot barley cereal I've tried.
