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.
Here are 7 homemade cereal recipes to try and enjoy to wean yourself off an unhealthy and addictive boxed cereal habit.

You’re so right. But it’s not always that easy when you’re a busy mum. I’ve recently discovered quinoa porridge… what do you think of that? It’s delicious by the way, especially with a but of raw cacao powder, coconut oil, sprinkling of chia and milled flax, and a handful of berries. Yum!
congratulations! You have inspired me in so many ways! :0

Can I use flour from the supermarket as long as I don´t have the possibility to ground my own flour freshly?
Happy anniversary! I watched your soft boiled egg video today and made one for my 6 month old. She loved it. No rice cereal for this baby!
As soon as I get a chef to prepare the day to day daily meals for my family, I will start making homemade cereal. It’s a struggle buying GF, dairy free cereal. I suppose you can sub almond milk for the raw milk?
Happy blog anniversary! Your blog has been so helpful, encouraging, and inspiring to me and my family! You’ve definitely made traditional eating more understandable for beginners! When we started reading your blog over three years ago our 1.5 year old started going to the computer saying “Hope-a-conna!” asking to watch your videos! Keep up the good work! 😀
congratulations on 5 years!!!
What else is there except eggs? Wheat is bad, cereal is bad! What is quick and easy in the mornings that is healthy? ?
