In a move that can only be described as bizarre, the government of Denmark has

banned the sale of fortified breakfast cereals made by Kellogg's. These include

Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, and Special K. Why were they banned? Because they

are fortified with vitamins like vitamin B6, B12, folic acid, iron and calcium.

For some bizarre reason, Danish food watchdogs say that consumers could overdose

on these vitamins by eating too much Kellogg's breakfast cereal. They say it

could be a danger to unborn babies if the products were consumed on a regular

basis by expectant mothers. Of course, Kellogg's rushed to the defense on this,

saying there's no danger whatsoever to a person's health from consuming these

vitamins that that are present in Kellogg's breakfast cereals.

This whole thing strikes me as rather bizarre for several reasons. First, why is

the Danish government worried about people getting too much vitamin content in

their food when the vast majority of people have a deficiency in these vitamins?

This is especially true in the B vitamins, such as B6, B12, and folic acid.

Perhaps people in Denmark get better vitamin supplementation than those in the

United States, but most people in industrialized countries around the world

suffer from chronic vitamin B deficiencies. This is especially true if they eat

refined or manufactured foods such as breakfast cereals.

 

Secondly, there's the idea that people can overdose on B vitamins in the first

place. You may not be aware of this, but simply eating a cow's liver or calf's

liver -- something that many people order for dinner from time to time -- gives

you a dose equivalent to thousands of times the U.S. recommended daily

allowance. In other words, if you were to list the B vitamins on the label of a

meal that included liver and onions, that label might show vitamin B6 at a level

of 40,000%. People don't overdose on B vitamins from eating liver, and it

certainly seems unlikely that you could overdose on B vitamins from eating

breakfast cereals that have a minute quantity of these vitamins in them.

 

After all, the B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins, which means they don't

accumulate in fat tissues in your body and they are flushed out of your system

rather quickly. The human body is designed to handle super high doses of B

vitamins, vitamin C, and other water-soluble vitamins.

 

Another point that's bizarre in all of this is that people are arguing over the

nutritional value of breakfast cereals in the first place. If you want the truth

on this issue, breakfast cereals are not a source of nutrition (see related

ebook on nutrition) at all. Mostly they are just empty calories. Trying to get

good nutrition from a manufactured food made by Kellogg's is sort of like trying

to compare how much calcium is found in two leading candy bars. continues on

maybe there is fear of the mycotoxins found within

process foods like boxed cereals.
