After bringing you Dr. Mercolas article on the top 5 unhealthy breakfast cereals. Someone asked me to find the top healthy cereals. I didn’t have to go far before I found an excellent write up by Elaine Magee, MPH, RD. Elaine in my opinion did a great job at putting this list together. She placed a large focus on the sugar and fiber balance. Now it’s off to the store to try the cereals on her list.
WebMD Weight Loss Clinic - Expert ColumnChoosing a healthy breakfast cereal is not a simple task. The cereal aisle is a long one, full of contradictions. You'll find cereals made with refined grains with nearly no fiber, and cereals made with whole grains and bran boasting 7 grams or more of fiber. There are cereals with so much sugar they seem more like boxes of little cookies. And there are cereals with sugar listed far down on the ingredient list.
But it's well worth the effort, experts say. If you eat cereal almost every day, either for breakfast or as a snack, the cereal you choose can say a lot about your health. It can add a lot of good stuff to your diet -- or it can add a whole lot of nothing.
Experts say that choosing a healthy breakfast cereal is mainly about getting some whole grains. There's no excuse not to get at least one serving of whole grains if you eat cereal for breakfast. And it's well worth the effort; recent research suggests those who eat more whole grains are at lower risk of diabetes and heart disease.

In case you were wondering what body parts certain vitamins nurture, here is a list.
Vitamin A vision skin
Vitamin B metabolism
Vitamin C immune system
Vitamin D bones/immune system
Vitamin E muscle & brain
Omega 3 and Vitamin D are the most important
The best way to get all of these is through a multi vitamin. There is no way for humans to eat all the nutrients that we need in a day. Dont forget your vitamins.

Here is another very interesting article from Dr. Mercola. You know all this food stuff is just getting old. I’m starting to wonder if certain companies are trying to kill the human race off slowly. Can’t enjoy your millions if all the customers are dead folks.
Why Canned Soups Can Be Dangerous to Your Health
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
The food processing world is reeling right now one day after a shocking new series of tests released by Consumer Reports revealed that many leading brands of canned foods contain Bisphenol A (BPA)—a toxic chemical linked to health risks including reproductive abnormalities, neurological effects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems.
BPA is used in the lining of cans and the toxin leaches from the lining into the food. According to Consumer Reports just a couple of servings of canned food can exceed scientific limits on daily exposure for children.
The federal government is currently studying the dangers of BPA and advocates are calling on the FDA to ban the use of BPA in food and beverage packaging by the end of the year. Companies in other industries, including Wal-Mart, Target, Nalgene, and Babies R Us have already made commitments to stop using BPA

Ten Worst Breakfast Cereals Posted by: Dr. Mercola
November 14 2009
New research confirms what consumers have long known -- most breakfast cereals advertised to children are full of sugar. Cereals marketed to kids have 85 percent more sugar, 65 percent less fiber and 60 percent more sodium than those aimed at adults. In fact, the least nutritious cereals are often the most heavily marketed to children, such as Reese's Puffs, Corn Pops, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cap' n Crunch.
Some cereals with the poorest ratings even have health claims on the box.
