- Yesterday, I was comparing the nutritional info. on two cereals. One
- was a brand name "frosted flakes" (ff) and the other wholly organic
- whole wheat cereal (ww). Now, ff had better nutrients (per serving of
- 1 oz.) than ww without exception.
-
- Now the question is why organic? I mean, when ff has better nutrients
- (and tastes better..), then why do all the experts put these items
- on the "don't eat" list.
-
- Well, it sure sounds like FAQ (doesn't it?) so excuse me for that! and
- reply thru e-mail (pointers are welcome, too).
-
- Thanks,
