The shocking truth about the processing that is required to make boxed breakfast cereal which makes it toxic even if organically certified.
Did you know that ALL boxed breakfast cereals are toxic?
In fact, organic boxed breakfast cereal is the most toxic of all!
How can this be?
It seems that everywhere you turn, a bowl of breakfast cereal is touted as a very healthy choice for your first meal of the day.
It’s not true, folks!
To make boxed breakfast cereal in the factory, the grains first have to be subjected to such intense pressure and heat that they actually liquefy into a slurry.
This slurry allows the grains to be quickly and easily shaped into the puffs, flakes, and other shapes that make each cereal distinct.
The manufacturing process used to make boxed cereal is called extrusion.
It is so violent and denaturing that the proteins in the grains are actually rendered toxic and allergenic by the process.
This is why organic boxed breakfast cereal is more toxic than nonorganic.
Organic boxed cereal is whole grain and has significantly more protein in it!
In other words, the more protein, the more toxic the boxed cereal.
The digestive system has no idea how to metabolize these warped, denatured protein molecules.
The undigested food particles putrefy in the gut. They are also food for pathogens to feed upon, which serves to strengthen them and crowd out good flora.
Stay away!
If you wish to eat cold breakfast cereal that is healthy, you must make your own.

Hi Sarah,
My adult son has has given up bread after discovering that it wasn’t good for him. He’s started eating rice cakes. Are they extruded? I don’t think rice cakes are an ideal food, but how bad are they really? Maybe you would like to do a post on them.
Thanks, Ruth
Dear god woman. Learn some basic science.
“To make boxed breakfast cereal in the factory, the grains first have to be subjected to such intense pressure and heat that they actually liquify into a slurry.”
Not only not even close to how flakes are made, it’s not even physically possible. Grains are not rocks, they do not “liquify” under heat and pressure, i.e. melt.
“is so violent and denaturing that the proteins in the grains are actually rendered toxic and allergenic by the process. ”
Also not anywhere near scientifically accurate or possible.
“This is why organic boxed breakfast cereal is more toxic than nonorganic — because organic boxed cereal is whole grain and thereby has more protein in it! The more protein, the more toxic the boxed cereal.”
Grain protein is not toxic.
It’s no where near toxic.
The difference between whole grain cereal and normal cereal is the normal cereal is typically only made with the endosperm portion of the seed. This part is all carbohydrate, very little anything else. It’s starch. Whole grain uses the…whole grain. So it includes the germ, which is protein, as well as the bran which is fiber (indigestible cellulose).
Your theories and comments are false, scientifically inaccurate, easily refutable.
In short: bullshit.
Hi Sarah I read this post and then watched your video on how to make breakfast cereal. In the recipe here you write raw milk or yogurt but in the video you say to use clabbered milk or buttermilk. Can I use raw milk that has not been clabbered? I’d like to make it today and my milk is still fresh!
thanks
One more question, in your ingredients you saw raw milk to soak with, but in your video it is clabbered. Which is best? Thank you
Is it ok to use already ground sprouted wheat or whole wheat flour if you dont have a flour mill or a vitamix?
