Breakfast Cereals-2007's Best

!±8± Breakfast Cereals-2007's Best

The most healthful breakfast is whole grain cereal. If you're trying to lose weight, control cholesterol or diabetes, or just need a lot of energy, your best bet is a hot cooked cereal of whole grains, such as oatmeal; or barley, brown rice or wheat berries cooked and served like oatmeal. Flavor it with raisins or other dried fruits, cinnamon, and perhaps a handful of nuts such as pine nuts.

If you prefer cold cereal, you need to check the list of ingredients carefully. The FIRST ingredient should be a whole grain. Then scan through the entire list and if you see the words "partially hydrogenated," put the box back on the shelf. We recommend that you avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oils (or "trans fats"), and they still show up in many cereals (see the list below.)

Once you've eliminated all the brands made with refined grains or partially hydrogenated oils, check for ADDED sugars (you want little or none) and fiber (you want a lot.)

Raisins or other dried fruits will add a lot of grams of sugar to the listing on the nutrition panel; they are not distinguished from added sugars, so you can only estimate the amounts.

The fiber content listed on the nutrition label can be confusing because it's based on serving size, and very light cereals (such as puffed wheat) show little fiber per serving, but an acceptable amount when you adjust for weight. Cereals made from bran (the outer covering removed from whole grains) will have higher fiber content than cereals made from whole grains (which have the germ and starchy parts of the grains as well as the fiber), but they can be hard to digest.

2007 Update:I'm delighted to note that partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) have been taken out of many cereals. The old list included 56 brands with PHO's; the new list has only 13! Most of the popular General Mills, Post and Quaker cereal brands no longer have them. Kelloggs is the one major cereal maker that has not yet removed them from many of their leading products; hopefully they will respond to consumer pressure soon.

Is it really whole grain? Manufacturers have also responded to the call for more whole grains in our diet, so you will find a lot more choices that meet my recommendation of "whole grains as the first ingredient". However, many that claim to be "whole grain" still include refined grains. You may need to do some detective work to see what you're getting. One-ingredient whole grain cereals (i.e., shredded wheat, puffed wheat, oatmeal) are sure bets. If you see milled corn, corn meal, wheat flour or rice in

Knowing The Invention Of Cereal

!±8± Knowing The Invention Of Cereal

It is recorded in history that it was the American Seventh-day Adventists who invented cereal. It was during the 1860s that a horde was formed and they got accustomed to manufacturing cereal foods which were then spread worldwide, particularly promoting the production of wholesome cereals. Their discovery of cereal contributed to the commercialization and modernization of cereal products. It was only after several years that Will Keith Kellogg began his research in making cereal.

In 1894, he had an aim in search for a better alternative for bread as one of the important diet of patients. The invention of cereal developed when Kellogg experimented by boiling wheat to enhance the consumption of hospital patients' food for simpler digestion. He took an amount of wheat and left it to boil, with hopes of creating something out of his idea. To his amazement, the boiling took longer than he has thought. He stopped the boiling when the wheat had softened, then rolled to make it dry. He accidentally found out that every grain turned out to be a large thin flake.

Kellogg, who was named one of the people who invented cereal, realized that the flakes were very delicious cereal. That was how corn flakes were introduced. His findings led him to establishing one of most distinguished foundations, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, in 1906. He, who was also one of the Seventh-day Adventists, later came to be founder of another large organization - the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, also in the year 1906. With these developments, cereals came to an overwhelming turnover, gaining massive popularity throughout the globe.

The invention of cereal was not limited to only the corn flakes; Kellogg unearthed another great discovery of rice krispies. And since then, people started witnessing the potential of the cereal market. An American manufacturer, Charles William Post, was also noted in history to contribute vastly to the growth of cereal foods. Only after several years, cereal breakfast emerged in the instantaneous form of delicious crunchy rings. Later on, General Mills introduced ready-to-eat cereals that can be consumed like cookies.
