Another quote from "Nourishing Traditions", this one by Sally Fallon
herself:
"In 1960 researchers at Ann Arbor University performed an interesting
experiment on laboratory rats.  Eighteen rats were divided into three
groups.  One group received cornflakes and water; a second group was
given the cardboard box that the cornflakes came in and water; and the
control group received rat chow and water.  The rats in the control
group remained in good health throughout the experiment.  The rats
receiving the box became lethargic and eventually died of malnutrition.
But the rats receiving the cornflakes and water died before the rats who
were given the box - the last cornflake rat died the day the first box
rat died.  Before death the cornflake rats developed schizophrenic
behavior, threw fits, bit each other, and finally went into
convulsions.  Autopsy revealed dysfunction of the pancreas, liver and
kidneys and degeneration of the nerves in the spine- all signs of
"insulin shock".  The startling conclusion of this study is that there
is more nourishment in the box that cold breakfast cereals come in that
in the cereals themselves.  Loren Zanier, designer of the experiment,
actually proposed the protocol as a joke.  But the results are far from
funny.  They were never published and similar studies have not been
repeated.  If consumers knew the truth about breakfast cereals, vast
fortunes would be jeopardized."
