Also keep in mind that there's a big difference between Cheerio-O's and something like fruit loops when it comes to the effect it will have on your body.....or at least that is what I've been told by a dietician.
Although processed grain cereals like "Cheerios" still contain unhealthy refined sugar, it does not contain nearly as much as those saturated with this toxic substance.
Avoid processed grains and refined sugar...Stay with eggs and some nice simmering cherry tomatoes or other vegetable, for breakfast. Use grass-fed butter on both, to make them sing.

I read in the article I posted that US cattle tends to be corn fed rather than grass fed as is the case in Europe and therefore US red meat was perhaps less good for you than European red meat. Is that what you mean by grass-fed butter? It wasn't that long ago that eggs were supposed to be restrited to about 3 a week. Now you can eat as many as you like. Keeping up with what's good and bad is such hard work.

Generally speaking, this is unfortunately true; as it is cheaper to feed cattle with corn than with grass...However, grass-fed meats and butter are available for a higher cost.

Cattle and other farm animals need the K1 contained in green grass, so it can be internally converted by the animal to K2 for human consumption...Not having enough K2 in one's diet poses a K2 deficiency, which can have a detrimental impact on the cardiovascular system, among other systemic problems.

It definitely is a continuing education, and something I have delved deeply into for the past decade...Fortunately, there is a progressive, cumulative knowledge, that when correctly understood can benefit the health of oneself and others...:)

I wouldn't generalize as to how many times you're supposed to eat something. It's going to depend greatly on your overall activity level, exercise regimen, and specific body biology(genetic variations can lead to differences in nutritional requirements). Even adding in sugars will have a significantly different effect on a body-builder vs. someone who is training for a sprint event.

Make no mistake, refined sugar is detrimental to every human being; with only potentially reduced negative effects due to genetics/condition/circumstances.
Avoid refined sugar at all costs...If you want to add something sweet, yet non-glycemic, (

If you want more natural energy, increase your (

Do you have some sources to cite for this Vae? I don't disbelieve you per se, but it's a big claim. Preferably a systematic review or a selection of good studies rather than just anything which backs it up. While it's not my field, my understanding was that the jury was very much out on refined sugar being classified as toxic rather than just not good for you. If it were toxic, you'd expect the average life expectancy to be greatly hampered in nations which consume a lot of sugar (Germany, the UK and the US are probably good examples).

I don't. If I want to eat 2 dozen eggs in a week, I will. I'm in the probably unfortunate position of really only being able to eat what my body tells me it wants. It's no good giving me pasta when my body is asking for rice. And if my taste buds don't talk to me then I probably won't eat. But when hunger hits, there are a few things like eggs, tomato soup, and slightly burnt toast with lots of butter that I can always have.

I said sugars, not "refined sugars". High-fructose foods can still have a significant impact on blood glucose levels.

I've found some shortcuts though. This example might sound weird, but I've been able to significantly reduce sweet cravings by eating raw baker's chocolate(100% cocoa). I'm guessing it has to do with my body wanting some mineral or other that's found in chocolate.
