What is a corn flake? How is it made? First, the kernels of corn are soaked in lye. Lye is a caustic, corrosive substance that will burn skin off your body. It's used in making rayon, soaps, and-breakfast cereals. After the soaking, the kernels are blasted by live steam. Then a flavoring syrup full of mostly white sugar is poured over the soaked and steamed corn. Next, the kernels are dried until they're hard. Then they're run through huge rollers that press down with 75 tons of pressure to flatten them out. Now they're ready to be toasted, heated and flaked one more time. Then they get their last dosing of preservatives, additives and chemicals and are packaged up in a brightly colored box with a picture of an athlete, animal, or cartoon character on the front. Originally you had a grain of corn, fairly rich in protein, phosphorus, Vitamin A, and the three major B vitamins. Now you've got a sugar-frosted flake that has no original vitamins, few minerals, and an altered protein that is harmful to the body. What's more, you're probably paying five to ten times as much for this processed, denatured food than you would if you had just bought the original whole grain

I always apreciate the effort to communicate scientific findings to a wider audience. Sadly the conclusions made in this video are definetly not based on actual scientific findings. I undestand that necessary simplifications have to be made, but here I am confident that these studies were intentionally selectively quoted and their meaning purposefully altered to fit the narrative that is to be told here. From "Breakfast does not help you to loose weight" you jump to: "Breakfast has no benefits" (compare 2:42) Your first source specifically states that weight loss might not occur because of breakfast consumption. "This review questions the recommendation for breakfast consumption in guidelines aimed at weight loss in adults" (Quote from Study) The same study states: "Although eating breakfast regularly could have other important effects, such as improved concentration and attentiveness levels in childhood" At 2:33 this quote is briefly visible in the video. From that i have to conclude that you know exactly that you are misrepresenting the findings. Since there is a wide range of circumstantial effects and correlation at play studies considering our eating habits are especially tricky. That is a fact well known by people working in the field (researchers too!). Here you are maliciously misrepresenting these studies. There is a difference in telling an opinion and acting like your message is grounded in science. After beeing a long-time viewer of your content i stopped following you quite a while ago because of similar reasons. It is saddening to come back after a long timeseeing this.

Your body's insulin resistance is actually the highest in the morning. So, few or no calories in the morning is probably the best for weight loss.But, for people who have physically or mentally draining work schedules in the morning, a morning boost of energy is a great idea ! Most of these nutritional studies are sponsored by those who have vested interests in the conclusion. So, take these studies with a pinch of salt and follow a diet that suits you !

[@ASBlueful]

Well, I would have thought that it depends on the fibre content in the morning. Whole oats with plant milk will probably not spike blood sugar levels.

[@IanHecht]

I'm curious if any of the studies looked at whether students in school did better on assessments with or without breakfast. My experience has been that hungry students are distracted. Would the research for this video point away from schools providing breakfasts for lower socio-economic students?

[@barbatron100]

Hungry is not good, but not eating breakfast isn't the same as being hungry

[@GregTom2]

There has been some studies of school breakfast programs which have shown some effectiveness. These studies are still being funded by breakfast brands and biased, though. You could probably reliably improve the failing student's commitment to studies by enrolling them in any sort of para scholar activity or club, a breakfast club being just one example.

[@TheVietnameseCatGoblin]

I found that a lot of study on whether breakfast affects concentration usually don't take into account whether they regularly eat breakfast or not, and make breakfast eaters skip it, or vice versa. I'm a breakfast skipper, if I eat breakfast it makes me feel uncomfortable and bloated - I don't feel hungry until nearer to lunch time. If I was a breakfast eater, of course skipping it would make me hungry and have poorer concentration. The main point in this video seems to be just carry on what you feel best suited for you. If a student doesn't want breakfast they can choose not to, but schools should really still accommodate for the students who do.

Yeah, Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs probably aren't great for weight loss. In summary, the Kellogg brothers made dubious health claims to sell a product, and eating something healthy for breakfast is probably better than eating chock-full-of-sugar-and-starch Kellogg's cereal.

People don’t realize that everyone eats breakfast. Breakfast is the break of your fast, you fast throughout the night because you sleep and then your break that fast when eating. Whether you eat after you wake up or 4 hours after, you are breaking your fast, it’s up to your preference of how you want to go about breaking your fast

Also completely overlooked is the adage "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.... "

[@jusdidit9564]

But why would people think eating breakfast helps you loose weight?

[@ullahla42]

A common rationale is that eating breakfast curbs your appetite so you don't overeat later in the day due to being exceptionally hungry from skipping breakfast

I’ve been thinking cereal was part of a good breakfast all my life ... now I question everything

[@TONE11111]

Cereals, Grain, Flour The basic grains used worldwide are wheat, rice, oats, rye, barley, millet, corn. Grains have been the mainstay of whole populations-particularly rice and wheat. The reason for this universal reliance on grains is the ease of cultivation, the short growing and maturing time and the facility of bulk transportation and storage for long periods of time. Grains used today are generally refined products and constituted almost exclusively of starch. Cereals and grains, in their whole grain dry state, may contribute beneficially to the diet of man. But it must be pointed out that even in their most complete state they are not a necessary food and are quite inferior to true foods for man-vegetables, fruits and nuts. Refined flour (made from any of the grains) is a devitalized substance not suited for human consumption. In fact, it contributes to the general degeneration of those who consume it. It has become one of the principal items in the diets of modern men in the form of bread, rolls, cakes, cookies, spaghetti, etc. There is no way that such devitalized flour can be 'revitalized,' 'enriched' or in any way improved by the addition of elements needed in nutrition (vitamins, minerals, etc.). It remains a nonfood, pure starch, of the worst order. Breads and pastries as the "staple" of the diets of modern life are the source of much of the physical distress of man. Cereals in the form to be soaked and cooked and the roasted flaked cereals in common use today are produced from denatured grains and are a true curse to mankind. These devitalized substances, further adulterated with sugar, salt, preservatives, chemicals, coloring and artificial flavoring, are contributing to the rapid proliferation of disease among modern man. Cereals and cereal products (starches) are among the most difficult substances to digest when eaten alone. When eaten in combination with protein, the results are disastrous, resulting in extreme fermentation, gas, acids and intoxication. Cereal starches require about 10 times longer to digest than do potato starches-the longer the digestion period, the more the fermentation. Cereals, grains and all concentrated starch foods are unwholesome for human consumption and should be carefully omitted from any health-promoting diet.

1) Most people would be better off if they did not eat first thing in the morning; this is the body's time to clean house and it is not ready to digest food. Greater health could result if people would adopt a sensible "No-Breakfast" plan, and ate more nutritious foods later in the day. 2) Fruits are far superior to cereals as a nutritious breakfast food, and they are the ultimate convenience food-no milk, no bowls, no preparation or clean-up whatsoever. 3) Added nutrients to food ("fortified" foods) are riot utilized by the body like the naturally occurring organic elements. They in no way replace or serve the same functions as do vitamins, minerals, and co-existing nutrients in natural foods.

[@yengsabio5315]

Any meal after an overnight fasting or from your last meal from yesterday is always a breakfast. I extend my overnight fasting to 12 (sometimes 14 or 16) hours a day. So my breakfast is already also my lunch. So context is also important in understanding the word "breakfast." All the more it becomes more imperative depending on the kinds of food one eats for breaking the fast to be considered as a healthy breakfast, therefore, an important meal of the day.

Your video and the research mentioned are tackling weight loss, not importantness or healthiness. Also, cereals is not the only possible breakfast.

[@GregTom2]

A ton of people are saying that. What kind of study would you design that measures "importantness" or "healthiness". Life expectancy? Good luck funding that 40 year of follow up study. If you make the claim that it's the most important meal out of thin air, then the burden of demonstrating that it is rests on you. If you can't design an experiment to tests "importantness" then your claim is pseudoscience.

[@morningbetterlast]

To sleep another 30 minutes or to have a meal? Screw breakfast.

[@LuisYoshiAvila]

Not a doctor, but my father is. For what he has told me skipping any meal could lead to gain weight. He basically says there is two reasons for that. 1.- Starvation in general leads the body to "accumulate fat", like when the bears hibernate (not exactly the same) it's a natural instinct. So if you body thinks you may not have access to food with regularity it could trigger that instinct. By ingesting food with regularity and then starts skipping one or more meals you are kinda tricking your body to think it would not be able to get food for a long period of time, even if you can. 2.- Have you ever heard the say "my eyes were bigger than my stomach"? It means you ordered, prepared or eaten more that you actually intended to. If you eat let's say 3 bowls of cereal each day (for breakfast, lunch & dinner) but then start taking just 2, chances are that you will be serving them bigger. You might end up consuming more food just in less meals. Which if not careful might be more food that what your body actually needs. ---------- So although skipping any meal potentially makes you gain weight, breakfast is arguably the most important meal because should be the one that helps you start the day. Go to work or school burn energy and if you don't have enough energy then you might end up getting one of the behaviors described above.

[@1SaG]

Fun fact: During his work that lead to the invention of cornflakes, Mr Kellogg was actually looking for a food that was as bland as could be. The reasoning behind this was that he was looking for a way to get people off that nasty, dirty, unhealthy sex-thing he loathed so much. His brother Will took the food and added salt and sugar to make it palatable, creating the corn flakes we know today. This alteration of the original recipe and the subsequent world-wide marketing of these altered flakes infuriated John Kellogg and caused a life-long feud between the two brothers.

There's a whole movie about it. There was also some rumors about the adopted son being autistic in later years. Mainly because of the way he behaved.
