if you had a choice between eating

some Kellogg’s Corn Pops okay

or eating the box that came in which one

would be considered healthier go ahead

and comment down below I initially

thought it would be the box but

apparently I’m completely wrong because

there was a recall a few years ago on

four Kellogg’s cereals we got Corn Pops

we got honey smacks Fruit Loops it’s

spelled

f-r-o-o-t so it’s not actual fruit

because there’s no fruit in it and Apple

Jacks so they recalled 28 million

boxes of cereal that’s a lot of cereal

so first thing is it kind of got my

attention is I’m like

that’s just four cereals that they

recalled right that’s not all the cereal

that they have out there and then if you

go to the grocery store this might be a

shocker and I’m being very sarcastic

they have an entire aisle okay in the

grocery store dedicated to

cereals incredible so what does this

tell me it tells me that there’s a lot

of kids or adults eating cereal to have

that much cereal and the bigger surprise

was that there’s really nothing in the

actual cereal that they did a recall on

it was actually in the Box apparently

there was some and they described it as

this uncharacteristic off flavor in

smell that had a metallic smell to it

which possibly could create but only

temporary some nausea and diarrhea in

some people and it is true that when you

eat things part of the box that came in

does end up in your body now the other

thing that’s interesting when I was

reading up on this is that Kellogg’s had

a little history and apparently it

started out as being somewhat a health

food because it used certain fiber

extracts and at that time didn’t have

all this extra sugar so apparently it

did help some people but it was the

initial intention was

to create a healthy product and then as

I was reading this it went on to say a

commitment that continues today and that

kind of threw me off because I don’t

know I just assume that everyone knows

that cereal is not a health food but

apparently it’s promoted as something

that’s healthy and I just found that

interesting and I wanted to create this

video on this just to kind of take a

look at how this product is promoted I

wanted to know how can they possibly

justify something that is ultra

processed as a processed food I mean

it’s not just processed food it’s Ultra

processed food with added sugars in fact

it is the second source of calories for

kids with added sugar so I wanted to see

how they Justified it well they said

that they removed the trans fats you

have to know that trans fats are the

partially hydrogenated oils right when

you continue to cook

and process this oil

under high Heats

it then becomes fully hydrogenated

So you you’re not going to have trans

fats in fully hydrogenated oils only in

the partially hydrogenated but from my

viewpoint going from a partially

hydrogenated to a fully hydrogenated

does not increase the health of that oil

so they did say they reduce this sugar

which we’ll take a look at and they

reduce the sodium right because everyone

knows that sodium is dangerous and they

added more nutrients of course in the

form of synthetics and they also added

more fiber in the form of whole grains

they actually even said that this cereal

is nutrient dense I’m not kidding okay

because of the added synthetic vitamins

that they added it became now this

nutrient dense foods but if you look on

the label I’m still trying to figure out

what is nutrient dense about that

because the percentages are still very

small and they actually even claim this

based on this one study it can decrease

the risk of obesity and being overweight

now how can they possibly claim that

well if you look at the study it’s based

on this one observational study right

which is not very credible but this

study is based on a single 24-hour

dietary recall so just asking the

parents what did your child eat in the

last 24 hours

and then they just kind of correlated

that with that’s probably what they’re

eating on a regular basis well there’s

no way you can figure out what a child

eats just based on one day it’s not

going to figure out the dietary pattern

plus it involves recall and remembering

exactly what they ate and allow these

kids go to school and about 30 of their

calories comes from the food at school

and so the parent doesn’t always know

what they ate at school but that’s what

they base this claim on this one

observational study with a 24-hour

remembering what the child ate they also

claim that it can contribute

to an overall healthy dietary pattern of

eating

which is so bizarre to me and if you

restricted to cereal it can actually

lead to an overall reduced intake of

nutritious food

with unintended consequences I’m still

trying to scratch my head on how can

they possibly say that well I’ve never

seen so many lies in one paragraph in my

life because the real consequence of

getting this out of the diet would be a

greatly improved body a child that has

more focus a better mood a child that

doesn’t gain all this weight a child

that doesn’t develop metabolic syndrome

or blood sugar issues so then if you

look at the label of Corn Pops right

this is what the ingredients are corn

sugar corn syrup hydrogenated soy oil or

cottonseed oil wheat starch in synthetic

vitamins and this is interesting because

one cup of this cereal is 27 grams of

carbohydrate but only nine grams of

sugar with zero fiber

so wait a second here we have this

refined carbohydrate and it has a lot of

carbohydrates in it but it’s not all

sugar so what’s making up the rest of

that carbohydrate it’s not fiber even

though they’re kind of talking about how

great their food is because of all the

fiber that’s in it well zero grams of

fiber and one gram of protein what are

these carbohydrates well it’s starches

right so a starch is slightly different

than a sugar a sugar is kind of like

broken down into a smaller carbohydrate

but starches have these chains of

additional sugars that are attached and

sometimes there’s various loopholes with

adding maltodextrin and even some of the

corn syrup solids of putting them under

the category of a carbohydrate not the

sugar even though it behaves like a

sugar right it can break down in Sugar

pretty quick but legally they don’t have

to kind of claim all those sugars if

it’s less than one gram now let’s take a

look at Fruit Loops right we have whole

grain yellow corn flour we have sugar we

have wheat flour we have whole grain oat

flour and then they add the modified

corn starch then they added the high

hydrogenated oil the soy oil and then

they also add maltodextrin like I

mentioned before and then another source

of fiber is the corn soluble fiber which

is a new kind of a synthetic fiber

because it’s so processed and then they

add red 40 yellow five and blue one

these are food colorings all right now 3

4 of cup not even one cup

is 24 carbs 2 grams of fiber now again

there’s not a lot of fiber in these

cereals so then we have 10 grams of

sugar and one gram of protein So based

on all this information

my conclusion is the box is much

healthier to eat than the actual cereal

what do you think about this go ahead

and calm it down below I just want to

say the best food for a child if you’re

going to feed a child breakfast

would be eggs if you have not seen this

video on eggs you should check it out I

put it up right here
