According to an expert nutritionist these are the 10 Healthiest Breakfast

Cereals you can eat.

1. Kashi GoLean: Kellogg's now owns Kashi, and it worries me that they’re

now offering “crunchy†versions of my favorite cereal. “Crunchy†is

code for “

added sugar and fat,†but the original version of GoLean has only five grams

of sugar per serving and is a mix of “crunchy fiber twigs, crispy soy

protein grahams, and honey-toasted Seven Whole Grains & Sesame puffs.†Love

those

twigs and sticks!

2. All-Bran Bran Buds: Another Kellogg’s original, Bran Buds contain

psyllium, a natural fiber, and are low in sugar, fat and calories. It is the

only “

bran†cereal besides Fiber One that really stands up in milk. I like these

little nuggets, and I mix them with a flaky cereal like Product 19 or Total for

added crunch.

3. Product 19: Kellogg’s flaky fat-free corn cereal, this is low in sugar

(four grams) and provides 100% of the Daily Value (for a 2000 calorie diet) for

all B vitamins, vitamins E and C, plus 15% of vitamin A and 10% of vitamin

D. It even has four grams of fiber per serving, and only 100 calories. I hate

that the Nutrition Facts panel shows a cup of cereal with only a half cup fat

free milk: add a whole cup on your way to three servings of nonfat dairy

daily. --- more »

4. Barbara's Shredded Spoonfuls: I like Barbara’s Cereals: not only are they

very tasty, they contain NO artificial colors, flavors, preservatives,

refined white sugar or hydrogenated oils. I especially like the texture and

shape

of the Shredded Spoonfuls. Eat them with some fresh strawberries and fat free

milk. They contain only 120 calories per cup, are lower in sodium than most

cereals (200 milligrams per cup) and provide four grams of fiber with only

five grams of sugar.

5. Cheerios: Stick with the original: General Mills’ original toasted whole

oat flour “O’s†cereal, since new versions are candied up with sugar and

calories. They hold only 110 calories per cup, no sat fat and four grams of

fiber with six grams of sugar -- and the sodium is a reasonable 210 milligrams.

6. Kellogg’s Complete Oat Bran Flakes: I like this flaky cereal because it’

s low in fat and calories and has a lot of “oaty†flavor. It’s low in

sodium

(120 milligrams), fairly low in sugar (six grams) and has four grams of

fiber. This or the wheat bran flakes varieties are usually available when I go

to

business breakfasts.

7. Post’s Grape Nuts: Although Grape Nuts are high in sodium (360

milligrams) a little of this low fat and low sugar cereal goes a long way and

they are

delightfully crunchy and nutty. Since this cereal is dense in calories (and

weighs more per cup than flaked cereal), the serving size is about 1/3 cup

instead of one cup. I add them to a flaked cereal -- just a couple of

tablespoons -- for the crunch.

8. Health Valley Organic Oat Bran Flakes: Health Valley Cereals, like Barbara

’s Cereals, are made from organically grown grains, and contain no

artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. They are delicious too. You can

find

Health Valley at many major grocery chains, as well as all natural foods sores.

The oat bran flakes have a particularly nice nutty flavor, zero grams of fat,

and only 15 milligrams of sodium. Add four grams of fiber and only four of

sugar, and these organic flakes are a winner.

9. When is cereal a great snack? When you try Nabisco’s Shredded Wheat ‘n

Bran 100% Natural Whole Wheat MiniWheats. I love to eat these as a snack:

they’

re portable, crunchy and really satisfying. Fiber-rich (eight grams per

serving), Shredded Wheat has been around for a while -- a long while -- so

ignore

all the sugar coated and fat laden versions and reach for the unadulterated

bite-sized varieties, with no added sugar or sodium. They’re the best.

10. General Mills' Total Whole Grain: Forget the sugar-coated version;

original Total, like Product 19, is a good breakfast cereal for people who want

to

make sure they get 100% of their B vitamins, and other important vitamins

each day, along with some fiber and minerals too. Although the sweetened

versions appear to be taking over the aisle, be smart and stay with the

tried-and-true nutrition.

The SOY (CAPS mine) is the reason I no longer eat Kashi. Anyone hypoT needs to

get rid of any unfermented soy in their diet. I don't know about anyone else

here, but I need all the help I can get, and soy is definitely NOT helpful!

Hi Bitsy, I'm so sorry to hear of your ongoing problems caused by the pravastatin. While it's impossible to predict who can overcome this kind of damage, and by how much, don't give up hope until you've tried a few more things that may help. And it's quite possible that what you've already been doing may require more than the nine months that has already gone by to make a major difference. My suggestions would be to add more antioxidants, in the form of a good B complex, a tocotrienol vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine. If the C you're taking isn't the Ester-C type, I'd recommend you switch to that form, as you can take larger doses for immune support that way without stomach upset, and we know one of the many downsides of the statins is that they compromise the immune system. I hope your nerve damage is reversible; if so, the antioxidants should help with that. If I were you, I'd add

another 100 or 200 mg. of CoQ10 for a while. I would definitely take 50 mg. of zinc daily, as it is essential to so many aspects of your health, and I recently discovered that statins deplete zinc just as they do CoQ10. And zinc deficiency can cause quite a number of problems that you would never guess were linked. The final thing you might want to consider is D-Ribose, as it is recommended for helping chronic fatigue sufferers regain strength over time. Last but not least, I definitely recommend a good enzyme supplement to address inflammation and the damage it causes. Nattokinase is great, but not recommended if you have high blood pressure; the second choice, which is also excellent, as well as safe for hypertensive patients, is Serrapeptase. I understand that cost is a factor for you, and this could all add up to quite a bit, but we'll hope that you will be able to cut back on the dosages after a few months! Best of luck to you,

and let us know how you're doing. bitsy3956 <bitsy3956@...> wrote: I have severe pain and nerve damage to my left leg because of taking pravastatin. This has been ongoing for 9 months now. I have been taking CoQ10, fish oil, flaxseed oil, and vitamin C for 6 months now. I have had some pain relief, but with exercise it always returns. I am wondering if I need to take more CoQ10. I take 300 mg everyday. Will taking a higher dose help my muscles repair. I have read of other

people on this site that have recovered from this statin problem and hope someone knows something else for me to do. I quit taking the pravastatin 6 months ago. I was strong and very healthy before this happened. I need to get on with my life. I can't work and have no insurance. Also Type 1 diabetic. Diabetis is no problem, I am well controlled. Hope someone knows something I can do. I don't want to go to any more doctors for help. None of them believe me. They are also too costly. My funds are running low. Please help.-----

The

smaller doses are considered to be the daily recommended dose. The dose I am

talking about is a safe higher dose to take to do a specific job of lowering

your cholesterol, once lowered, you should be able to reduce to take the daily

recommended dose, which I believe is around 30 to 60mgs. You can take much

higher doses of CoQ10 and Niacin, but this should be done under the guidance of

a medical practitioner.

Sheila,

You recommended 300 mg of CoQ10 for Hans. Is this a dose that one can

take indefinitely or should smaller doses be taken indefinitely?

Venizia

[Guest guest]

Hi Venizia

I've read lots about coq10 but nowhere found advice on term dosing. The

impression I have, though, is that very high doses need not be

continued beyond a few months, but that something like 60 mg would be a

good permanent level. The other impression I've formed is that much of

the benefit to the heart of coq10 applies to older people with somewhat

deconditioned hearts. So I wonder whether someone with a regular

aerobic exercise regime would derive comparable benefit.

Having taken up to 400 mg, then 300 for quite a long time, I hope that

my present 100 mg dose will suit, taking account of the effect on heart

specifically and on cholesterol. Anyone on statins however would need

to have -- I think the figure I read was -- 60 mg, just to counter the

adverse effect of the statins. Cholesterol is a tricky topic, of

course. Most people (many doctors included?) are just coming to terms

with LDL & HDL versions, but it seems that the problem of plaque

deposition is more complicated, & not necessarily defeated by a low LDL

level. Above all, inflammation seems to be a major cause of plaque,

answered perhaps by taking of plenty of EPA and oily fish, and

alkalising foods, since calcium deposition is associated with an acid

condition.

At my doctor's request, I tried taking red rice yeast extract, a natural statin

drug, and paired it with CoQ10, 150mg/day. I didn't last long on the statin, but

kept on with the CoQ10, mainly to finish the bottle.

I started developing chest spasms and found that CoQ10 kept them at bay.

When I'd start to twitch again, I'd increase the daily dose by another

150mg. I was up to 600mg/day when I found that Cymbalta could cause muscle

spasms, so I started taking less Cymbalta, until I no longer needed the

medication.

The spasms continued, though much less than before. My investigation had found

that Parkinson's people get a great benefit from the CoQ10, up to 1200mg/day,

but if you take too much too soon, it can increase the tremors.

I started to taper off the CoQ10, and the spasms lessened, until finally down to

150mg/day again.

I lay out my supplements by the week, and started testing one week with CoQ10,

one week without. I have been unable to tell a difference between the weeks I

take the supplement and the weeks I don't. It's a fairly expensive supplement,

so once the supply I've stocked is finished, I'll try going without.

Amy,

It's wonderful you're feeling so much better.

Wow -- 1,300 mgs. I've been taking 120 mgs for about 6 months now. Haven't seen

much of a change. I don't get as tired as you describe, but I am usually

dragging. I guess I should up my dose.

Everyone else taking CoQ10 -- what dose are you all taking?

Thanks.

Glad CoQ 10 is working for you.  Did the doctor recommend 13 grams a day?  It's

so expensive, would like to try it but no more than necessary.   What brand did

you buy and from where?  Thanks.

I re-read my post and notice why it confused people...I said that I was taking

1, 300mg/day tablet....not 1300 and not 13. 300mg/day only. The brand is Cliff

Sheats Lean Bodies and you can get that directly from them via their website or

calling them in Frisco, Texas. This is a chewable supplement.

There are many other brands that are probably less expensive than this one, but

since I have had so much luck with his stuff, I have stayed on it.

Hopefully, that helps!

Dr. Burranscano is pretty much THE expert on LD; I think he recently closed down

his practice because of pressures/threats by the powers at be. You can download

his protocol (I think it's still on-line) A lot of dr.'s use it as a guide for

treatment; by the way, I am on 400mg of CoQ10; my LLMD prescribed it; i don't

think the brand is important as long as it is pharmaceutical grade; i happen to

take Advanced Medical Labs CoQ10 Max 400 High Absorbtion Formula. My dr

prescribes one a day but i just looked on the back of the bottle as the

suggested use is 1-3 a day!
