jw: Walford doesn't mention Fiber one in " Beyond " , but some cronies have

mentioned eating it. There's a discussion of cereals on pp 265-266 in which

he mentions the best/most nutritious cereals. Also (and I forget these

passages, so it's always a good idea to reread) on page 266, " ...cereals

contain several phytonutrients not present in fruits and vegetables, a point

to be remembered by those who are so gung-ho for ultralow carbohydrate

diets " .

I don't eat a lot of wheat cereal- fiber one has the most fiber (14gm) per 30 gm serving and I pick stuff based on low sodium content. Basically I just eat it for fiber - nothing else, although it does have Ca, Mg, K, Zn, Fe, - not sure if those are absorbable.

BTW, on ice cream it tastes like the ice cream cone.
