US Government Pleased that Children get their Nutrition from Cold Cereal Each Morning
 by: Dr. Robert Bard

The government has stated in various ways that they are please that children get their nutrition from cold cereal, and cold milk each morning. Unfortunately nothing could be more wrong than spreading this untruth to a gullible public.

Mr. Kellogg was the person that invented cold cereal – flakes, Os, stars, shredded something. or nuts – many years ago. The process evolved by taking grains and stripping all the nutrients from it, making a slurry, adding chemically manufactured vitamins (which are useless) and trace minerals that are metallic and almost non-absorbable in human beings.

The process of manufacturing involves extrusion. The slurry is forced through an orifice at high temperature and high pressure. The temperature and pressure destroys every nutrient from the grain and even the chemical vitamins and the trace minerals. Unfortunately this manufactured product has sugar added to a lot of it and then fed to our children with milk (I will get to this topic in a few more paragraphs).

The latest commercials are promoting whole grains used in these cold cereals as if that is an improvement (whole grains are better than the striped down no nutrition). The problem is that the extrusion process still leaves zero nutrition in the finished product

As for all the souls that believe in organic cereals (I am very much in favor of organic products as compared to the chemical kinds), you will be disappointed that extrusion still destroys all nutrition, even in organic grains.

The sad part of this cereal dilemma is that I have not mentioned another important part of grain growing. Unless a grain is referred to as organic – without herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides – it has been grown with the mentioned chemicals. Herbicides and pesticides cause cancer.

Another consideration in this all American breakfast of cold cereal is the milk.

What you buy in the store is not milk in the true sense. Milk is produced by cows that are confined in small areas (as opposed to the great outdoors of green pastures) and fed concentrates – alfalfa, grass hay, grains (corn is common and the farmer buys the cheapest available which is Genetically Engineered to have less nutrition and extra herbicides and the ever present pesticides), and other supplements.

People that produce and process milk are not too worried about cleanliness as their solution is pasteurization. In fact bacteria have gotten so bad that they have to raise the temperature of pasteurization beyond the 161 degrees. There are companies that are raising the temperature to 212 + degrees. This higher temperature not only destroys the bad bacteria, but it destroys every bit of nutrition in the milk.

We need essential beneficial fatty acids in our bodies and milk used to be a good source of the fatty acids but as soon as grains were added to cow’s diets the beneficial fatty acids disappeared.

Eat organic oats and porridges with butter and/or cream.

When you buy milk at least purchase organic. The best is Organic Valley. Also buy organic butter from this same company.

The best milk to buy is non-pasteurized, non-homogenized. Milk has natural antibacterial qualities that keep bacteria from growing. When produced by healthy farmers there is nothing to worry about.

It is good to eat healthy, but that is not processed milk, and cold cereal.

I attended West Virginia University and graduated from Pennsylvania College of Optometry with a Bachelor of Science degree and a Doctor of Optometry degree.

As a health professional I was always interested in disease prevention but found the medical model – drug companies and doctors – unacceptable. The medical model towards disease is that they want us – the people – to contract disease and they will prevent us from dieing as long as we continue to take their drugs for the rest of our lives. This is their idea of preventive medicine. The population expects prevention to prevent disease before we get sick.

I became overweight and like most people blamed it on me and my eating habits, but I knew that diets and potions on TV DO NOT WORK and therefore put off doing anything until I stumbled across a solution.

In 1999 I began itching and it got worse almost by the day. I started taking antihistamines to reduce the itching and over a 10 month time period visited 4 dermatologists. The first 3 doctors miss diagnosed my problem. The forth discovered the cause but I had to use a pesticide all over my body to correct the condition – I know this seems strange but I had an infestation of Norwegian mites under my skin (I didn’t even know that mites had a pedigree much less a country of origin).

When I used the pesticide to kill the mites I swelled up like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. With this ordeal I gained even more weight and ended up looking like Porky the Pig. I also lost my sense of taste because of all the antihistamines.

In 2002 I did some consulting work for a supplement company and they gave me a gift book by Sherry Rogers, MD. At the same time I had a patient in my office that sensitive to all chemicals including the chemicals from a carpet that was 6 months old and from my cologne. He had to wear a mask filled with carbon just to get through a basic eye examination. After quizzing him about his condition I discovered that over 6 million people in the US can’t function normally because of toxic chemicals – that means holding down jobs and leading a normal life.

Because of this patient I began to investigate toxic chemicals and how they affect people, particularly my health, my taste, and weight problems. With this information I have lost 70 pounds, gone from a jean size of 50 to 40. I feel better, look better, and my big belly that used to catch food is almost gone. (I no longer catch food on my stomach)

I have discovered that the public is one big toxic chemical experiment by industrial food manufactures, chemical companies that control farm chemicals with Genetically Engineered crops, drug companies and companies that want to dump their waste products without protecting the public.

There are some really good people that write books and educate people about health issues, economic issues, environmental issues, food problems but all these people specialize in certain areas. My job as I see it is to be a reporter and filter the important information to my subscribers.

I have also been a farmer for years and one of my discoveries is that our diseased health economy starts with toxic chemicals and crop land.

Unhealthy Soil = Unhealthy Plants and Animals = Unhealthy People

I also think it is terrible that when people retire at the age of 65 that 97% are in poverty in this nation. I believe that I can help people make extra money in retirement through my experience on eBay and other sources of information. I have a free newsletter that discusses health issues and money issues to help people.
