Per 1 cup: 160 calories, 1.5 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 250 mg sodium, 25 g carbs (4 g fiber, 9 g sugar), 13 g protein It's not the nutritionals that did Quaker Corn Bran Crunch in. It was their addition of artificial colors—Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, and Blue 1. Red 40 and the two Yellows have both been banned from food products in the UK based on research that has connected the oil-derived colorants with allergies, migraines, headaches, behavioral problems, and hyperactivity among children.

And actually, normally I would just let it go because it is just cereal and I’m not going to buy boring cereal I don’t like just to avoid giving money to support ideas I don’t like. It’s not like the people who run General Mills probably don’t also believe things I disagree with. But Nature’s Path has specifically endorsed the wildest and most harmful ideas about transgenic foods — that GMO products are basically poison forced on us by an evil and complicit regulatory system to allow evil companies to impose their deadly products on farmers and unsuspecting consumers.

Not only is Mesa Sunrise fully certified by Coeliac UK and The Vegan Society, it's full of flavour and irresistibly crispy too. To drive home just how wrong Nature’s Path is about GMOs, they retweeted an endorsement of the Genetic Roulette movie this week. This film was made by a non-scientist and is full of unscientific and absurd claims. The book upon which it’s based has been thoroughly debunked. According to the film makers, GMOs may be the cause of increased incidence of cancers, autism, allergies and more. There is little evidence for the first 1 and none for the rest. It is pure speculation with no explanation as to mechanism. One could just as easily claim that watching the Dr. Oz program has those effects. Like most anti-GMO activist material, it unscientifically groups all products they consider GMOs together. Roundup Ready soy is the same as Bt corn or the Arctic Apple despite very different traits and use patterns. Recommending that movie is not simply spreading different points of view or encouraging conversation about food production. It is actively misinforming your supporters. How does a cereal called "Waffle Crisp" sound? Pretty unhealthy, right? What about "Good MOREnings?" Better? Not really. They're essentially the same thing—same ingredient list, nearly identical nutrition information—just one is rebranded to make it appear healthier. It's not. This cereal is one of the few remaining boxes that contain artery-clogging trans fat, partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Cinnamon Chex We were initially disappointed to see that Nature's Path uses brown rice flour, rather than a whole grain, in this cereal. But what really cemented their spot on our worst healthy cereals list was the 15 grams of cane sugar and molasses they add per serving—too much for you or your little one. Kellogg's Origins Fruit & Nut Blend
Because it touts its 18 grams of whole grains on the front of the box, alongside words like "multigrain" and "plant foods," you might initially think Life cereal was a safe choice—until, that is, you read the ingredient list. There you'll see that the cereal pieces aren't even made of whole grains, but a medley of flours (most of which, are in lesser quantities to the sugar that's added). On top of that, Quaker also adds oil-derived artificial colors, Yellow 5 and 6. Quaker Real Medleys Cherry Almond Pecan Multigrain Cereal Our quality is guaranteed so if you're less than thrilled with this cereal we want to know. Please send the box top with date code to us.Per 1 cup: 120 calories, 1.5 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 25 g carbs (1 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 2 g protein The certified-organic ingredients inside our flakes have been grown in harmony with nature, reducing exposure to toxic synthetic chemicals and GMOs. It's the positive choice for our bodies and for our planet.
The “alternative” and “organic” food makers are to my mind very innovative. Nature’s Path is a good example. Instead of straight corn flakes, they offer a flake blend that is corn, flax and amaranth. Yummy. Instead of just raisin bran, they have products like Pumpkin Raisin Crunch which has wheat flakes, oats, pumpkin seeds, raisins and just a hint of sweeteners and seasoning. It’s not just wheat and sugar tasting. But unfortunately, the alternative brands tend to also believe in and advertise ideas that I find wrong. Most just make exaggerated statements about health benefits of organic or specific nutrients. Most are also at least somewhat anti-GMO albeit often it seems primarily for marketing reasons. Nature’s Path however is actively anti-GMO and spreading scary misinformation about GMO foods. For that I am going to give up two of my favorite cereals. It’s not really a hardship, but it takes a lot for me to feel a company is so odious I can’t buy a product I like. Per 1 cup: 160 calories, 2 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 200 mg sodium, 33 g carbs (3 g fiber, 11 g sugar), 4 g proteinIf you try to eat only organic food as part of your lifestyle, or are interested in doing so, you'll find lots of delicious options when it comes to organic gluten-free cereal. Organic foods can have more beneficial nutrients than conventionally grown foods and don't contain added hormones, antibiotics or artificial chemicals. However, organic food is usually more expensive. Don't let their high fiber and protein counts fool you. These oatmeal squares are full of bad-for-you ingredients yellow 5 and 6 as well as caramel color—a chemically-derived additive which commonly contains an artificial form of phosphorous that's been shown to leach calcium from our bones. (Oh and P.S., the "Honey Nut" Oatmeal Squares flavor has no actual honey listed anywhere on the ingredient list.) Special K Fruit & Yogurt

If you want to nourish your system, try doing so without ingesting highly processed foods like soy protein isolate, modified corn starch, acacia gum, and the potentially carcinogen-containing preservative, BHT.
