I spent a lifetime of eating poorly, but it all finally caught up to me around age 50. The food where I first started noticing poor outcomes, severe stomach aches and digestive problems, was cereal. I kept eating it because I loved it, but it got so severe, I had no choice but to stop. Anyway, this one event put me on the road to eating right, and I now have been eating right for 2 years, with excellent discipline. I follow all the advice that Dr. Berg gives us. I feel amazing and I wished I would’ve been eating this way my whole life.
Sadly we didn’t know any better and we followwd the trends that the government stated amd the food industry pushed! That’s what happened to us so keep up the good work and I am eating a hundred times better as well!
Sounds good to me. They aren't all like that. If I have time, I make my own granola. Otherwise, boxed granola or Special K is my breakfast every morning, except Sunday when we have homemade waffles and bacon, with real maple syrup.
Great video. My wife kept telling. STOP on cereal, which I did few weeks back. I listened to her because I love her and she cares. Thank you sir for exposing these multinational companies
Gotta love Dr.Berg 3 yrs in as a subscriber and has never failed me once. this man has litterally cured my Gi issues I no longer take meds . Thank you doc 🙏🏽 you are a blessing to us all idc what any TH-cam hater says 💪🏾!!!
I agree with you. Could you also request Dr.Berg to speak louder in the videos? Most of the time, his sound pitch is too low to understand the context completely. Thank you!
I love sugarless corn flakes with oat milk, but man, even just a cup makes my blood sugar spike and I knock out even if I just woke up 2 hours ago at 6am, I'm 32.
I just realized that eating a bowl of cereal every night before bed is a lot worse for me than I thought it was. 😢 I will now be limiting that behavior significantly.
He knows what words to avoid. But he does seem to be more outspoken about the truth. We all need to work on this and spread seeds of truth because the liars are taking away our freedom quickly.
I love how he never gets tired of talking about insulin and keto and how it works. He wants to educate others and understands that he has new watchers all the time and doesn't assume all of his watchers already understand this. He's amazing!
I hope this doctor knows how much he is helping not only me but millions of other people that watch this I first started to learn about this in a book called the prescription for nutritional healing but since I've been watching his show I have reversed my diabetes on the carnivore / fasting way of eating and I'm learning much more everyday this should be taught in our schools!
As a former cereal killer, I approve this video. Seriously though, I moved to this country as a skinny active kid at 9 years old, within one year after eating Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Froot Loops, I became a chubby little lethargic kid who didn't want to play anymore. Still took me many years to drop other cereals I thought were good for me like Quaker Oats. Thank the Creator for your videos!
Oats are universally recommended and researched but you gotta pair it with other things, shouldn't be eaten by itself (seeds, nuts, pieces of fruits)... Oats are not really a typical processed cereal like the ones he is talking about. Oats are actually food and not completely man-made. I've never had issues with Oats + it's one of the few foods that I know will never make my stomach feel bad and make me feel satisfied for a long time.
I ate so much heavily-advertised RTE cereal as a kid and also dealt with also now I hate 99% of the cereals on the market. I like Organic Puffed Kamut _(Arrowhead mills, Nature’s Path)_ when I allow myself to eat RTE breakfast cereal with my breakfast these days. It’s only 50kcal per cup measurement so that means I serve myself 62.5kcal-87.5kcal worth of it. I like that it only has one ingredient _(puffed wheaten cereal)_ instead of being ultraprocessed. I mix in berries & a modest amount of low/non-glycemic sugar substitute _(ex: Erythritol, Monkfruit)_ to make it a bit more nutritious and yummy
@@maenad1231 I grew on RTE cereal as a kid as well, I'm glad I stopped eating that stuff long time ago and moved to oats when I feel like eating something "quick".

It was when I was in college that I realized I didn't want to get up earlier just to eat breakfast. I felt the extra sleep would be more beneficial- than stuffing myself with carbs. Also - it was when I was in college, I realized that I was NEVER hungry during the day - and as an extra bonus, when I was weighed during a health class - I found out I had lost 7 pounds - and hadn't realized it.. That was the beginning of my lifelong pattern of fasting all day and not eating until evening and I was never tired or sluggish during the day - unless I ate during the day. I feel proud knowing that decades ago - I had figured out stuffing myself with food and added calories and carbs throughout the day, was far more detrimental for me than it was beneficial. Later when the INTERMITTANT FASTING studies came out about 5 years ago .... I finally felt vindicated due to all those years of seeing people's baffled expressions when I told them I rarely eat during the day - yet they were the ones always complaining about feeling tired and sluggish.
I'm a Muslim and I rarely are during the day during my school days. My friends were all puzzled and always asked why I'm not hungry. In my country, due to the majority of population being Muslims, we have more or less learned that when you're hungry, you're not always truly hungry. Your stomach just thinks it's hungry because it's the time for you to usually eat. It will urge you to eat due to fear of hunger but after you're used to fasting, your stomach would recognize that we're not starving ourselves, we're just adjusting our eating time and the stomach will also adjust and calms down.
I've been hearing about the dangers of eating cereal... like this guy literally called it out while I was in the grocery store, lol! I stick to shredded wheat at times, But I will recheck the ingredients after seeing this video. Thank you again doctor Berg. I knew BHT and the other ingredient was not good, But I just couldn't remember why and I did not bother looking it up. I shared this video with my sister and her family because her husband is pre diabetic. Hey was already in the hospital for high sugar several months ago, and he does not want to be insulin dependent. They are already working on their diet...
Not only did you give us a valuable health lesson, but a history lesson as well. I never knew about Kellogg. I wonder if he was good friends with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Pureblood here in his 60s. Grass fed burger and 3 eggs for breakfast every morning. Never been ill, never taken pills. Couldn’t get the spicy cough, l tried and tried. Resistance train 3x a week. Walk a lot. American food companies are making people sick.
@@freedom2084 just make you're own. Buy higher fat grass fed, grass finished ground beef and scale them out to whatever size you like. Form them, wrap, date and freeze them. Just take them out of the freezer when needed
When my mom was pregnant with my middle sister, she stated that she ate mostly cereal. My sister grew up eating mostly sweets including lots of cereal. She was at a healthy weight but had other health issues (physically & emotionally) Long story short, she’s vegan now😂 she doesn’t eat all vegan type food but in a much better health state lol
I understand I am vegetarian but not vegan and I've felt better. After watching the animals in the country being slaughtered I couldn't eat them anymore I'm an animal empath too.💜😇🦋
Vegan? So she decided to take another unhealthy route. Humans are omnivores. My sister and her husband were vegan they looked unhealthy, about 5 months ago they added meat to their eating, they look much better. Glowing skin and have more energy.
@@thereisnopandemic lol who are you telling!! After doing my research & listening to Dr.Berg, I would NEVER go vegan. She’s ALOT healthier inside & out, but she understands that all vegan food is not the best. I told her she’s better off going plant based
@@calcat7375 HUMANS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANIMALS, AND ABSTAINING DOESNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, ALSO THERE IS ANIMAL PRODUCTS OUT THERE THAT DIDNT COME FROM ANIMAL CRUELTY
I have not had cereal in 3 to 4 years. For a few years before that I was eating it in the morning for the fiber thinking that was good but then from you and others I found out about of the dangers of carbs and I switched to a lower carb diet and got rid of all the sweets and soda pretty much completely. My father and grandfather both died because of the complications of having diabetes.
Round up should be the number one reason, my friend... glyphosphate is hugely left over even on big brands like cheerios and other kellogg and post cereals
Traditionally, in the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu & Kerala - breakfast was the leftover humble (warm) cooked rice mixed with room temperature unsweetened plain curd/ yogurt - with a dash of salt. Small quantity of home made pickle on the side is optional. Keeps your body & mind cool. Won't be hungry for at least (4-5) hours depending on your morning work load.
Whan I was a kid in Australia we used to have a cereal called Nutri Grain. It was advertsied as Iron Man food, with all these super fit Iron Man athletes promoting it. Tasted great as it was loaded with sugar and who knows what. I know better now, and can't believe how the company managed to get away with the obvious lie for so long.
They add alot of vitamins and minerals to it and has sugar and honey. It's literally just sugar and multivitans with cards lmao. If you do marathons it would be great nutrition lmao
Never woul've thought that that explains alot. Sugar should be limited in general and especially not eaten in the morning I did this and felt not good at all. Very informative as always!
When I moved to the USA, from the USSR, in the 70’s, and visited a supermarket for the first time, the sight of the different Whole Foods, on glorious display under one roof, enthused me to get a job asap. Boxed Cereals, I thought, were “for the birds”, despite the TV commercials blatantly lying about the their health benefits.
The explanation of this cannot get any better doc 😊 Easy to understand and follow if you want to be healthy. 🌸💜 Truly, being healthy Is Our choice 👩🎤 Thank you doctor Berg 💙☀️ All the best 💖🥬🥑🥦
Consuming large amounts of sugar and carbs can also lead to: • Insulin resistance • A loss of concentration, memory, and focus • A fatty liver • Developing fat around the organs in the midsection • Diabetes • Inflammation • High cholesterol • Anxiety • Cavities • A higher risk of heart problems Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
As an avid cereal lover this makes me so sad. I quit eating cereal a while ago because I knew even the "healthy" options weren't healthy I am hoping one day we actually have a healthy cereal available.
@@Jayhammer76 my daughter loves Magic spoon! Although, it is very expensive (but what isn't these days) Also Aldi has an Organic NON-GMO cereal called Coconut Chia Granola by Simply Nature that is pretty decent with a good source of fiber, protein and potassium but still has added sugars, so it's not perfect but better than all the other junk out there.
Coffee with MCT8 for me and 22 intermittent fast. The formula for carbs has been explained as being equal to sugars since the label was intended to cover up sugar during the food industry's appeal to the FDA under the Reagan administration. Nobody would buy products if they knew how much sugar they contained. Thanks for pointing this out.
I had all the issues you described in this video as a child. Even as an adult I have some of these still. I am not surprised since I consumed a lot of sugars at one point of my life. My family still does and I can see the differences quickly. Thank you Dr. Berg. Watching your dangerous food video now.
Dr. Eric Berg, your videos help me changes my diet and lifestyle. I feel more healthier and lose weight from 78kg to 69kg now within 9 months. It’s not fast but sustainable. I love you! You are such a blessing to us all. I pray that God will bless you abundantly, protect you with divine protection and bless your health forever. ❤️ 💕 💗
Holy moly I got my boyfriend off cereal 4 years ago..He now makes his own cereal but it's still not great but better than boxed cereal .I have not had cereal in 20 years ..
I stopped eating cereal almost 20 years already after my college lecturer showed us how the cereal was created in an experiment. That time i knew that there’s no nutrients as they claimed inside and corn actually one of the GMO products. So, eating that with milk is not gonna give me a satisfy feeling except temporary fullness and then feeling hungry more quickly after that
@@Drberg Doing great Doctor Berg a huge thanks to you meeting a friend of ours ivor commins on Tuesday In Dublin ireland 🇮🇪 like you ivor a fantastic guy. much thanks again Doctor.
I have eaten cereal every morning for 25 years, I now have gut issues that I can't fix. Other then that my diet was okay. Where should I start to fix my gut? 🙏
Haven't eaten those cereals in years. There's a science experiment video that can show the iron flakes separated from the corn flakes. They actually put shaved flakes of iron (hard or impossible to properly digest and possibly contaminated form of iron). Dr. Berg, that would be a good experiment.
What an eye opener!! Eggs…no problem 😁 I have turned all my friends, co workers and family members to Dr. Berg, keeps life so simple. Love his products too!
Once I looked at back side of Kelloggs cereal, I saw to my horror what were the ingredients. Dry roasted oats+ milk+1 teaspoon peanut butter (natural) + 1 banana + 10 dried black Himalayan raisin with a pinch of cinnamon powder. Add whey protein if you want. This is the best you could replace your cereal milk breakfast with. In Lunch lol
I am so grateful for people like Dr Berg and others like him that share their knowledge. Knowledge that even my own physician ,either don't know or never shared with me. I can't get enough of Dr. Berg, KenBerry and Ekberg, DietDoctor, Dr. Chatterjee, EricWestman etc.. so many doctors to be grateful for.
I don't even have to watch, because my overriding rule is to avoid ultra processed foods. That means cereal is already out. It really is transformative to make the shift to eating whole, real foods.
America can thank you you're nearly a kind of savior thanks for your public useful action I live in France where it's not exactly the same eating habits but your videos are very instructive too Thank you .
I stop eating that years ago because of the label. They tell you on the label. Remember 8 grams of sugar a day is all every day. Thanks doc. Keepemcoming
Thanks so much for this video!! So helpful. I can live without cereal from now on. Now I understand why I have felt so full and bloated after I’ve eaten cereal!!
I grew up eating cereal, though we only liked the unsweetened corn flakes, we just added some sugar and bananas, I loved it… but once I realized how unhealthy that was I stopped and I haven’t touched cereal in 10 years… don’t miss it one bit.
I only eat cereal in a very small serving occasionally in place of supper. Rice crispy, rice Chex, Raisins dates and pecans Great Grains. About one fourth a cup. Coconut milk.
Frost flakes was my favorite as a kid. But I was only allowed to have it in the weekends and on special occations. Suger puffs was another of the good ones.
I eat 1/3 cup of Oatbran with 1 cup of pasture raised whole milk a day. The only ingredient listed on the package is Oatbran. 1g sugars, Carbs 26g, Fiber 7g. Is this still an unhealthy breakfast?
I wonder, for us who are cerealics, could you do a video which maybee explores the less malicious options? Is there perhaps some kind of yeast flake cereal option maybee?
Thank you for touching on Eugenics, Dr. I hope people open their eyes to such truths---- if the breakfast cereal can harm you, just imagine what can be done in the name of science with pharmaceuticals & vaccines. Hmmmm.... 🤔
Why no mention of porridge oats? I have bowl of porridge with yogurt and blueberries, raspberries or fresh strawberries. Can be sprinkled with ground flax seed. Alternatively in winter add cinnamon with stewed apple. Bacon? Healthy? Nooo! A lot A
“ you may not want to eat food again after this “ - Dr Berg I do a 20 hour fast daily, eat between 1pm-7pm and work out 7 days a week but I feel very low energy and frankly I can’t say I love how I feel yes I have lost 20 pounds and gained a lot of muscle but I want to be more comfortable. What can I do ? Been doing this for 5 months
Your problem sounds like you are not eating enough whole foods, as you are using a lot of energy working out too.If your energy is low,you might need to Skype with Dr Caldwell Esselstyn who has been on one of the documentary, Forks over knives it came out on 6th May 2011.I hope this might help you.
I eat about 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios in the morning sprinkled with Cinnamon n half banana w Oat milk and it holds me until dinner, I eat a piece of Salmon with a salad then a muffin for dessert, I’m 70 years young I weigh 153 lbs and I feel great and people don’t believe my age, and young ladies hit on me frequently, so should I change to eggs n bacon? Nah I think I’ll change to Oatmeal but thanks for the video 👍🏽
There also putting ground up crickets in the cereal now. They are putting crickets in flour products. Some are marked with don't eat if you have a shellfish allergies.
Thank you for the all great information and suggestions doctor Eric. I started watching your videos and I tried the ingredients for dry hands it was amazing Thank you !
I eat Corn Flakes with a banana once a week. I used to eat practically every day and now I only eat once a week. I don't feel the urge to eat it as much as I used. Which I think its better ? 🤔 I don't know?
I have a question. Could it be possible that processing of grains for breakfast cereals like milling, steaming or pressing would remove major phytic acid component?
I weigh exactly 35-40g of steel cut oats for breakfast every day ( which is about 25g of glycemic carbs). Steel cut oats are full of fibre.I then add some chia seeds ,some fat (macadamia/almond butter) , hemp seed powder and tiny amount of cinnamon. It’s very filling for me for about 4-5 hours and that the only carb I have the whole day. I eat salad for lunch and meat with veggies in evening .Thanks for your advice Dr Berg. I’m on a quest to find some alternative high protein moderate fat low carb breakfasts
@@freedom2084 I used to add banana to oats here and there. Fruit is just an occasional treat for me, for instance I can have one pink lady apple during the day
You have to look at labels. I found a Cheerios type cereal at Aldi with zero sugar. Also like Seven Sundays that I mix in. I don't eat it everyday but you can have cereal if you watch your labels.
First of all you are an adult and can eat what you want to. Second of all, you just don't get it. It just not the sugar, its the ultra processing that makes this junk bad for you.
I started eating bran flakes normally because of the actual fiber in them being 30-50% DV legitimately rather than saying "High in fiber". Like, A cough drop can be high in vitamin C and only have 10%DV because it has more vitamin C than a bleached flour waffle in comparison.
If a person is on the standard American diet, he already has sub-clinical type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is pre-diabetes but what causes insulin resistance is the non-stop elevation of insulin in the body. Americans eat all day long, never giving the body a rest. This is why intermittent fasting is so good for us.
With all due respect Dr. Berg, can you make a video on Omega 3 supplements, apparently, a bunch of scientists is associating its usage with an increased risk of cancer. Would be great if you could shed some light on it.
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see Dr. Berg's available videos about omega 3: th-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=omega%203 -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I used to eat a bowl of cereal every night before I went to bed back when I was in the army stationed in Germany from 1973 and when I came home to about 1979. I didn't have any effect on weight gain or problems with internal organ damage. I didn't eat any type of cereal with a lot of sugar and sometimes with no sugar added. This may effect some but not others. Now I don't eat cereal due to the price increase. In the future, people are going to say that all types of food is bad, who are we to believe what is good or bad?
I am in an Arab country, we never eat cereal, and we did not know it in our childhood, but I am sure that our breakfast, which includes thyme, oil, olives, eggs and milk from the land of Palestine, is the best ever.
It's cerealously bad.

Not only did you give us a valuable health lesson, but a history lesson as well. I never knew about Kellogg. I wonder if he was good friends with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Your right ✅ look at coke, BAD.
As an 80's kid cereal was life. You haven't lived until Peanut Butter Capn' Crunch makes the roof of your mouth raw.
😂
Lol! Cap'n Crunch all flavors are my favorite. Once in a rare while I crack down and buy the cup size serving. 😋

Agreed, what a good cereal

When my mom was pregnant with my middle sister, she stated that she ate mostly cereal. My sister grew up eating mostly sweets including lots of cereal. She was at a healthy weight but had other health issues (physically & emotionally) Long story short, she’s vegan now😂 she doesn’t eat all vegan type food but in a much better health state lol
I understand I am vegetarian but not vegan and I've felt better. After watching the animals in the country being slaughtered I couldn't eat them anymore I'm an animal empath too.💜😇🦋
Vegan? So she decided to take another unhealthy route. Humans are omnivores. My sister and her husband were vegan they looked unhealthy, about 5 months ago they added meat to their eating, they look much better. Glowing skin and have more energy.
@@thereisnopandemic lol who are you telling!! After doing my research & listening to Dr.Berg, I would NEVER go vegan. She’s ALOT healthier inside & out, but she understands that all vegan food is not the best. I told her she’s better off going plant based

Every single one of your videos is so overwhelming. I feel like I should get a degree after watching a whole playlist.
I have not had cereal in 3 to 4 years. For a few years before that I was eating it in the morning for the fiber thinking that was good but then from you and others I found out about of the dangers of carbs and I switched to a lower carb diet and got rid of all the sweets and soda pretty much completely. My father and grandfather both died because of the complications of having diabetes.
Round up should be the number one reason, my friend... glyphosphate is hugely left over even on big brands like cheerios and other kellogg and post cereals
Make sure to buy organic oatmeal, because oatmeal contains glyphosphate as well...like corn and wheat products.
Round up doesn’t matter
Macros do
Traditionally, in the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu & Kerala - breakfast was the leftover humble (warm) cooked rice mixed with room temperature unsweetened plain curd/ yogurt - with a dash of salt. Small quantity of home made pickle on the side is optional. Keeps your body & mind cool. Won't be hungry for at least (4-5) hours depending on your morning work load.
Whan I was a kid in Australia we used to have a cereal called Nutri Grain. It was advertsied as Iron Man food, with all these super fit Iron Man athletes promoting it. Tasted great as it was loaded with sugar and who knows what. I know better now, and can't believe how the company managed to get away with the obvious lie for so long.
I love nurtigrain lol
They add alot of vitamins and minerals to it and has sugar and honey. It's literally just sugar and multivitans with cards lmao. If you do marathons it would be great nutrition lmao
nutrograin and cheerios have left over round up glyphsphate as well.. super should have been number six reason
@@lotusbloom7750 research glyphosphate cereals.. youll stop
Wheatbix were better with no sugar unless you add it.
Never woul've thought that that explains alot.
Sugar should be limited in general and especially not eaten in the morning I did this and felt not good at all.
Very informative as always!
When I moved to the USA, from the USSR, in the 70’s, and visited a supermarket for the first time, the sight of the different Whole Foods, on glorious display under one roof, enthused me to get a job asap.
Boxed Cereals, I thought, were “for the birds”, despite the TV commercials blatantly lying about the their health benefits.
The explanation of this cannot get any better doc 😊 Easy to understand and follow if you want to be healthy. 🌸💜 Truly, being healthy Is Our choice 👩🎤 Thank you doctor Berg 💙☀️ All the best 💖🥬🥑🥦
Sugar is the second ingredient for Cheerios? I used to put probably five tablespoons of sugar in Cheerios when I was a kid!
it also has roundup still on it from crop spraying
yes.. documented and tested..many brand like cheerios has glyphosphate!
Yes this is true I had to quit eating cereal my blood sugar up and down I feel so much better now thank you Dr❤️
Wonderful! You're very welcome.
Consuming large amounts of sugar and carbs can also lead to:
• Insulin resistance
• A loss of concentration, memory, and focus
• A fatty liver
• Developing fat around the organs in the midsection
• Diabetes
• Inflammation
• High cholesterol
• Anxiety
• Cavities
• A higher risk of heart problems
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Thank you!
Can we eat porridge then, like Oats, Mealie Meal, Maltabella etc. Thanks so much for all the valuable information. Highly appreciated Dr. Berg.
In Southern Africa we grew up on porridge when poor and then maltabella if bit well off
At least in Zimbabwe anyway
I don't eat cereal or drink milk , thank you for your hard work and time,I share your messages all the time 😘🤗
Ew
As an avid cereal lover this makes me so sad. I quit eating cereal a while ago because I knew even the "healthy" options weren't healthy I am hoping one day we actually have a healthy cereal available.
Same, I still can't stop my granola 😅
I think magic spoon has some pretty good options
@@dawsonbrown1462 I am not familiar with the brand. I will have to look it up. Thank you for the info.
Traders Joe's has some organic cereals. Raisin Bran etc.
@@Jayhammer76 my daughter loves Magic spoon! Although, it is very expensive (but what isn't these days) Also Aldi has an Organic NON-GMO cereal called Coconut Chia Granola by Simply Nature that is pretty decent with a good source of fiber, protein and potassium but still has added sugars, so it's not perfect but better than all the other junk out there.
You have absolutely described my symptoms. You are a life saver. Thank you 🙂.
Let's create our own healthy cereal 😉.
Organic sprouted whole oats! Sprouting gets rid of the phytic acid.
Oatmeal is high carbs.
Thank you! This was the push I knew I needed to get off my "healthy" cereals!
Coffee with MCT8 for me and 22 intermittent fast. The formula for carbs has been explained as being equal to sugars since the label was intended to cover up sugar during the food industry's appeal to the FDA under the Reagan administration. Nobody would buy products if they knew how much sugar they contained. Thanks for pointing this out.
Most sugar comes from foreign countries.
I had all the issues you described in this video as a child.
Even as an adult I have some of these still. I am not surprised since I consumed a lot of sugars at one point of my life. My family still does and I can see the differences quickly. Thank you Dr. Berg. Watching your dangerous food video now.
Very glad to be of help, thanks for watching!
I fix two fried eggs every morning. Water to drink.
Dr. Eric Berg, your videos help me changes my diet and lifestyle. I feel more healthier and lose weight from 78kg to 69kg now within 9 months. It’s not fast but sustainable. I love you! You are such a blessing to us all. I pray that God will bless you abundantly, protect you with divine protection and bless your health forever. ❤️ 💕 💗
I haven’t eaten cereal in over 30+ years .. 4 soft boiled organic eggs everyday is my go to breakfast !
That's great! Thank you for sharing!

Why soft? If i eat the yellow bit soft i get terrible pains in my stomach all day... :(

Excellent briefing on the intentions for producing such toxic food-like substances.
Holy moly I got my boyfriend off cereal 4 years ago..He now makes his own cereal but it's still not great but better than boxed cereal .I have not had cereal in 20 years ..
Marie Jones ===like the saying goes if you eat things in a box you will end up in a box
I stopped eating cereal almost 20 years already after my college lecturer showed us how the cereal was created in an experiment. That time i knew that there’s no nutrients as they claimed inside and corn actually one of the GMO products. So, eating that with milk is not gonna give me a satisfy feeling except temporary fullness and then feeling hungry more quickly after that

I have eaten cereal every morning for 25 years, I now have gut issues that I can't fix. Other then that my diet was okay. Where should I start to fix my gut? 🙏
Hi there. Sorry to hear about your problem. Sharing my videos on how to improve our gut: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=improve%20gut
Everything about cereal is just so bad for you Dr. Berg, thank you!❤
Thanks so much! I bought all this cereal thinking it was better than bacon and eggs because I would lose more weight!!!
Haven't eaten those cereals in years. There's a science experiment video that can show the iron flakes separated from the corn flakes. They actually put shaved flakes of iron (hard or impossible to properly digest and possibly contaminated form of iron). Dr. Berg, that would be a good experiment.
Most cereals are what I call diabetes bomb. I once shelved at wal-mart and called the ceral aisle the "diabetes aisle"
What an eye opener!! Eggs…no problem 😁 I have turned all my friends, co workers and family members to Dr. Berg, keeps life so simple. Love his products too!
He’s brilliant isn’t he.
Once I looked at back side of Kelloggs cereal, I saw to my horror what were the ingredients.
Dry roasted oats+ milk+1 teaspoon peanut butter (natural) + 1 banana + 10 dried black Himalayan raisin with a pinch of cinnamon powder.
Add whey protein if you want.
This is the best you could replace your cereal milk breakfast with.
In Lunch lol
Noooo
No grains
@@YeshuaKingMessiah lunch buddy nd this was for those who want to have cereal

"I lived on cereal until I was 28 years old. I' just hit 32 so I've been off sugar for a few years." Dr. Berg's busting out with the jokes : D
I was going to say, he looks older than 32. I read somewhere he was born in 65, so he is very healthy and fit for his age, though.
He is way older than 32.
@@MC-tg1xk I read somewhere online that he was born in 1965. He looks healthy and fit for his age.

He is the king of sarcasm. Watch any of his live lectures. And he does it without even a smirk
He is one of the 13. They own everything. Unless you grow your own or find farmers markets. God bless doctor.
I am so grateful for people like Dr Berg and others like him that share their knowledge. Knowledge that even my own physician ,either don't know or never shared with me. I can't get enough of Dr. Berg, KenBerry and Ekberg, DietDoctor, Dr. Chatterjee, EricWestman etc.. so many doctors to be grateful for.
Glad to be an inspiration.
Is cornflakes cereal good?
I don't even have to watch, because my overriding rule is to avoid ultra processed foods. That means cereal is already out. It really is transformative to make the shift to eating whole, real foods.
America can thank you you're nearly a kind of savior thanks for your public useful action
I live in France where it's not exactly the same eating habits but your videos are very instructive too
Thank you .
Natures path cereal is one of the best organic ones. Thank you Dr Berg
I stop eating that years ago because of the label. They tell you on the label. Remember 8 grams of sugar a day is all every day. Thanks doc. Keepemcoming
Thanks so much for this video!! So helpful. I can live without cereal from now on. Now I understand why I have felt so full and bloated after I’ve eaten cereal!!
You're very welcome!
I grew up eating cereal, though we only liked the unsweetened corn flakes, we just added some sugar and bananas, I loved it… but once I realized how unhealthy that was I stopped and I haven’t touched cereal in 10 years… don’t miss it one bit.
Thats just it, they add sugar to "unsweetened" cereal. They just dump it right in.
Wow 😯 thank you so much Dr Berg. I always ate Cheerios, thinking it was so nutritious 😢 it’s really sad to hear this. Thank you so much 😊
It's my pleasure! Happy to know you found the post useful.
I only eat cereal in a very small serving occasionally in place of supper. Rice crispy, rice Chex, Raisins dates and pecans Great Grains. About one fourth a cup. Coconut milk.
Frost flakes was my favorite as a kid. But I was only allowed to have it in the weekends and on special occations. Suger puffs was another of the good ones.
MUCH fewer choices back then.
I eat 1/3 cup of Oatbran with 1 cup of pasture raised whole milk a day. The only ingredient listed on the package is Oatbran. 1g sugars, Carbs 26g, Fiber 7g. Is this still an unhealthy breakfast?
Thoughts on paleo-granola/high protein grain free cereal? Yay or nay? Your videos are very informative and thought provoking. Thank you.
We will add this to our video suggestion list. Thanks!

I wonder, for us who are cerealics, could you do a video which maybee explores the less malicious options? Is there perhaps some kind of yeast flake cereal option maybee?
But I’ll definitely keep on watching your videos again and again…
As always thank You sir
Dr what is left to eat out of all of the foods you’ve said are bad for us there’s not much left Pls do a vid on the perfect week menus 👍👍👍
It’s amazing what is called FOOD .
I gave up cereal years ago:-)
OMG Dr. Berg, I started eating cereal for the first time in my life since last week !!! what should I do now😅
Thank you for touching on Eugenics, Dr. I hope people open their eyes to such truths---- if the breakfast cereal can harm you, just imagine what can be done in the name of science with pharmaceuticals & vaccines. Hmmmm.... 🤔
Why no mention of porridge oats? I have bowl of porridge with yogurt and blueberries, raspberries or fresh strawberries. Can be sprinkled with ground flax seed. Alternatively in winter add cinnamon with stewed apple.
Bacon? Healthy? Nooo!
A lot A

I do a 20 hour fast daily, eat between 1pm-7pm and work out 7 days a week but I feel very low energy and frankly I can’t say I love how I feel yes I have lost 20 pounds and gained a lot of muscle but I want to be more comfortable. What can I do ? Been doing this for 5 months
Your problem sounds like you are not eating enough whole foods, as you are using a lot of energy working out too.If your energy is low,you might need to Skype with Dr Caldwell Esselstyn who has been on one of the documentary, Forks over knives it came out on 6th May 2011.I hope this might help you.
You definitely make me a better cook. Thanks 🧡
I eat about 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios in the morning sprinkled with Cinnamon n half banana w Oat milk and it holds me until dinner, I eat a piece of Salmon with a salad then a muffin for dessert, I’m 70 years young I weigh 153 lbs and I feel great and people don’t believe my age, and young ladies hit on me frequently, so should I change to eggs n bacon? Nah I think I’ll change to Oatmeal but thanks for the video 👍🏽

I don't know?
I have a question. Could it be possible that processing of grains for breakfast cereals like milling, steaming or pressing would remove major phytic acid component?
Great explanation Dr what can I eat that's going to help me?
I've had one bowl of cereal in the last 20 years...I still crave it.
I weigh exactly 35-40g of steel cut oats for breakfast every day ( which is about 25g of glycemic carbs). Steel cut oats are full of fibre.I then add some chia seeds ,some fat (macadamia/almond butter) , hemp seed powder and tiny amount of cinnamon. It’s very filling for me for about 4-5 hours and that the only carb I have the whole day. I eat salad for lunch and meat with veggies in evening .Thanks for your advice Dr Berg. I’m on a quest to find some alternative high protein moderate fat low carb breakfasts
No fruit ? Berries. An apple
@@freedom2084 I used to add banana to oats here and there. Fruit is just an occasional treat for me, for instance I can have one pink lady apple during the day
You have to look at labels. I found a Cheerios type cereal at Aldi with zero sugar. Also like Seven Sundays that I mix in. I don't eat it everyday but you can have cereal if you watch your labels.
First of all you are an adult and can eat what you want to. Second of all, you just don't get it. It just not the sugar, its the ultra processing that makes this junk bad for you.

I started eating bran flakes normally because of the actual fiber in them being 30-50% DV legitimately rather than saying "High in fiber". Like, A cough drop can be high in vitamin C and only have 10%DV because it has more vitamin C than a bleached flour waffle in comparison.
Cereal was my favorite food before I got diabetes. I ate it by the box.
If a person is on the standard American diet, he already has sub-clinical type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is pre-diabetes but what causes insulin resistance is the non-stop elevation of insulin in the body. Americans eat all day long, never giving the body a rest. This is why intermittent fasting is so good for us.
With all due respect Dr. Berg, can you make a video on Omega 3 supplements, apparently, a bunch of scientists is associating its usage with an increased risk of cancer. Would be great if you could shed some light on it.

I used to eat a bowl of cereal every night before I went to bed back when I was in the army stationed in Germany from 1973 and when I came home to about 1979. I didn't have any effect on weight gain or problems with internal organ damage. I didn't eat any type of cereal with a lot of sugar and sometimes with no sugar added. This may effect some but not others. Now I don't eat cereal due to the price increase. In the future, people are going to say that all types of food is bad, who are we to believe what is good or bad?
Do you really think today's cereal is the same as 73's? You're nuts!
So you are the outlawer ! Congrats .
Cereals are now LOADED with Glyphosate, and it’s DESTROYING the gut!!!
The ingredients in other countries are waaayyy better than they are in the US especially back then.
The ingredients back then were better and plus you were in the army so you probably needed the sugar and carb content and burnt it off quickly.
Thank you! People need to hear it said like this.
In my culture cereal is eaten as junk food, never to replace a real one but we addicted to it by the sugar regardless.
