Getting Serious About Cereals: It's All About Fiber. (Nutrition Comparison) Environmental Nutrition, May 2003 Getting serious about cereals: it's all about fiber. (Nutrition Comparison) Environmental Nutrition, May 2003 The cereal aisle offers an overwhelming array of choices. But when it comes down to it, what are you really looking for in a cereal besides good taste? Fiber. After all, if you're going to meet your daily 20- to 35-gram quota, you'd better get started at breakfast, when you have the best opportunity for loading up. Fortunately, high-fiber nutrition doesn't have to taste like sawdust anymore. There are plenty of high- fiber products these days that contain tasty--and healthful--ingredients like oat clusters, flaxseed or currants, for example. Kashi's fast-expanding line of cereals is one of our top picks for both nutrition and flavor. But be aware that high-fiber cereals sometimes contain unexpected ingredients, such as hydrogenated oils, highfructose corn syrup, sugar substitutes (e.g., aspartame) or surprisingly high amounts of sodium. That means you need to read the nutrition label for more than just fiber content. Cereal Pointers * Choose a cereal primarily for its fiber content, not because it is vitamin-fortified (that's what a multi is for). Aim for at least five grams of fiber per serving, eight is even better. * Check the label for serving size; it varies depending on a cereal's density. If you eat more than what's stated, be aware of the extra calories. * If you're watching your weight, remember that added sugars (as cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, high fructose corn syrup, grape juice concentrate) simply add empty calories. * Watch out for sodium, which can top 400 milligrams per serving. * Don't be swayed by healthful-sounding names (e.g. Kellogg's Smart Start, Cascadian Farms Multi Grain Squares). Even natural food brands are not always high in fiber. * Add high-fiber cereals to your diet slowly, especially if your usual fiber intake is low. Drink plenty of fluids, which fiber needs to make bulk. * Train your taste buds by mixing a favorite cereal with a high-fiber one. Nutrition Comparison of High-Fiber Cold Cereals As with all EN comparisons, this is only a sampling of many products available. If your favorite is not listed, use our criteria below as a guideline. Products are ranked within each brand by their fiber content, from highest to lowest. [check] EN's cereal picks contain at least 5 grams of fiber (double checks provide at least 8) and no more than 200 calories per serving, 8 grams of sugar (16, if cereal contains fruit) and 250 milligrams sodium with no aspartame or hydrogenated oils. Note: These numbers do not include milk. EN recommends adding skim or low-fat (1%) milk.

Te couple purchased plants and distributed them throughout the streets of La Jolla, California. Next the Taubers invested in Vince’s Gym, which was originally for males only, and convinced the owner to make it the frst co-ed bodybuilding facility. After dedicating his time to selling fresh plants and exercising religiously at the gym, Phil knew that diet and exercise together were the only way to positively impact the health industry. So Phil and Gayle founded Kashi in 1984, a company that uses “plant powered ingredients to help you live an active life.” Kashi prides itself on its natural ingredients – namely, their “seven whole grains on a mission.” It promotes its farmers and their dedication to sustainability. Te Taubers created the brand name by combining “Kashruth,” meaning ‘kosher or pure food,’ with “Kushi,” the founder of American macrobiotics. Tus, they say “Kashi” stands for “whole- some foods made with real nutrition.” Te Kellogg Company acquired Kashi in 2000. Will Keith Kellogg and his brother Dr. John Harvey Kellogg co-in- vented faked cereal in 1906 at a time when Americans were beginning to eat lighter, more grain-based meals.

    World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 Journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association Published monthly at www.wphna.org Processing. Breakfast food Amazing tales of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals Melanie Warner Boulder, Colorado, US Emails: [email protected] Introduction There are products we all know or should know are bad for us, such as chips (crisps), sodas (soft drinks), hot dogs, cookies (biscuits), and a lot of fast food. Nobody has ever put these items on a healthy list, except perhaps industry people. Loaded up with sugar, salt and white flour, they offer about as much nutritional value as the packages they’re sold in. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the obvious stuff. The reach of the processed food industry goes a lot deeper than we think, extending to products designed to look as if they’re not really processed at all. Take, for instance, chains that sell what many people hope and believe are ‘fresh’ sandwiches. But since when does fresh food have a brew of preservatives like sodium benzoate and calcium disodium EDTA, meat fillers like soy protein, and manufactured flavourings like yeast extract and hydrolysed vegetable protein? Counting up the large number of ingredients in just one sandwich can make you cross-eyed. I first became aware of the enormity of the complex field known as food science back in 2006 when I attended an industry trade show. That year IFT, which is for the Institute of Food Technologists, and is one of the food industry’s biggest gatherings, was held in New Warner M.
