If Cheerios used organic oats it wouldn't be a problem, but the oats they use allows the oats to be sprayed with glyphosate to dry the oats.

Environmental Working Group tested several brands of cereal if you want to read the report.

I like Nature's Path granola, organic oatmeal by Good and Gather ( Target brand) and organic oats by Trader Joes. I haven't really found good gluten-free cereal.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, is a common weed killer used in agriculture.

How or why would it be used to "dry" oats ?

This article explains everything: https://www.healthline.com/health/ca...hosate-roundup

It's not used to dry the oats, it's residual amounts left over from farmers spraying their crop. Personally, I wouldn't worry about this.

[quote=WaikikiWaves;66129704]A lot of calories too. Fine if you're active, but if you're trying to lose weight (I'm guessing this is why the OP is asking for a `Healthy-ish` cereal)) then not so good.

Yep, we are pretty active.

We try to follow the old adage of "eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

Sometimes, if we have breakfast late, we skip lunch.

Dinner is often a salad or soup.

Our weight is within normal BMI levels. Our health is pretty good, too.

Have you looked into mason jar breakfast mixes? Oates, dried fruit, nuts, yoghurt, milk, ... . Layer it at night and keep in the fridge.

I wouldn't call that a "cold cereal" (which is also a dry cereal), exactly.

Just came across this article about the relationship of skipping breakfast and obesity. You all might find it interesting, too:

and here's a recipe from Dr. Greger on a healthy breakfast cereal you can make st home:

Honestly, I have given up on finding a cold cereal that tastes good and is healthy and natural. I used to eat Raisin Bran until I realized with the amount of sugar and additives in it, I could just as well have been eating Lucky Charms.

Total and Wheaties are not too bad, but now I usually eat Bob's Red Mill hearty cut oatmeal just about every morning. Add my own raisins and a sprinkle of walnuts, and just a very small sprinkle of raw sugar. It holds me until lunchtime.

Forgot about Wheaties! And they still make Total?
