I wish the folks at General Mills would switch to Splenda, but you take what you can get. Fiber One is the best kept secret as far as low-carb, mass-produced cereals are concerned. ASPARTAME IS EVIL. Just do a search. I haven't touched the stuff in years. I could just as easily do a "search" that shows that LC is evil. AMEN!!! They say if you have enough test & scans SOMETHING will be found awry. But your gonna die anyway, truth be told! I just wanna get from here ta there in as little pain as possible, when the time comes Nana 130 1 1/2 hrs after having my 'green' smoothie (from my Vitamix) b/gwas 100 @ 6:30 a.m. |

I use soy milk. Heavy cream or butter work better in hot cereal than variations on milk. Or if you can find Hood low carb milk near you that works. I see it in stores every so often but it is not carried consistantly in my area. I don't understand as it flies off the shelves when it is present. I see an empty slot and a Hood sticker twice as often as I see the Hood low carb milk itself. Try Silk or other brand almond milk. I think you'll be hooked when you try it. Hot cereal works for specific carb quotas. Let's say your carb quote du jour is 50. Hot cereal at breakfast gets you to 20. It's see it do 30 in the rest of the day on low carb items. As Bill points out higher carb than most begining low carbers will want but later on can be a different story. I'm not a fan of aspartame either. It has no effect on me but I do know two people who get effects from it. My wife gets headaches when she switches to splenda based sodas so some sort of withdrawal effect. An old friend gets brain fog when he gets dosed with Diet Dr Pepper. Many can't tell diet from regular for that brand. ... Fiber One is the best kept secret as far as low-carb, mass-produced cereals are concerned. Does anyone make this as a hot cereal? I've seen it or other fiber mixed into hot cereal but so far I haven't seen this use as the hot cereal itself. |

I'm just sayin'... if you have a choice, don't consume it. |

Many can't tell diet from regular for that brand. Can you do better than anecdotes? A good study reference would be nice. I can't. Given how contradictory the many studies are I don't think a really good conclusion is going to be available any time soon. I also think a good conclusion is going to come out "it depends". I speculate that any artificial sweetener will have studies that condemn it. Consider the financial incentives of the patent time sequence. Before the patent studies will need to show it is not toxic to get it to market. Then studies early in the 17 year patent life need to show it is safe to build brand reputuation. Then studies late in the 17 year patent life need to show it has problems to interfere with the marketing of the generics. And eventually studies can go either way once the patent is long expired. Looking at the several very old artificial sweeteners my model have approximately worked so I use it to predict the arc of events for the new ones. They all end up cursed one way or another because the next patented one needs a market. |

See: Wheat Belly, by Dr. Wm. Davis. http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/ I'm mildly wheat intolerant so I get the point. But know that the majority is not. How much of the current noise abut wheat being bad or going gluten free is really just smoke and mirrors for saying low carb is healthy without admitting that it's about lowering carb counts? I think a lot of it. There's almost no down side to not eating any cereal grains. For most people I think the main benefit is lowered carb count not triggering previously undetected intolerances. Plenty of people do have previoously undetected intolerances just nowhere near a majority. |
