Cereals regarded as healthy may actually raise your risk of dementia — and it's not because of the sugar.
A study published in the journal General Psychiatry found a link between a vitamin in brands such as Cheerios and Shreddies and cognitive decline, which can be a precursor for dementia.
Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is also found naturally in whole grains, legumes, liver and salmon, and not getting enough of it has also been linked to health issues.
But researchers say for the first time they've discovered a J-shaped curve that indicates consuming too much also has negative consequences.

thanks for your post, confirms that im not crazy trying to make sense out of the article......
Another food fad in the making. My sister-in Law recalls 1960 when extra gluten was good for you!
1970 it was the inside of an orange peel
1980 it was Acidophilus milk.
And so on....
***the fluoride in the water***
I am 77 years old and still have all my teeth. I blame it on natural fluoride in the High Plains well water we drank.
My wife from Texas says the same thing. Natural fluoride in the well water.
My Mother-in-law, had her perfect teeth pulled when a dentist she went to said those perfect teeth were causing her arthritis pains and pulling them would stop the pain. She had them pulled. The pains remained till she died decades later.
My mom was raised on natural well water in Tennessee. Her teeth were horrible and she had to have them pulled.
They always the words May - Could - Might , LOL
LOL! LOL!
Maybe you can't wash all the pesticides off the surface of oats, or the processors don't, but there's no way to remove pesticides that are part of the plant.
“Just One Bowl of Cereal a Day May Raise Risk of DEMENTIA - as Study Links Cognitive Decline to Vitamin Also in Rice and Oatmeal”
It’s the carbs, and it is WELL-KNOWN in the non-Special Interest sphere of nutritional science.
They probably don’t like that chemical because it sounds too much like hydrochloroquine.
Add a few tablespoons of hemp hearts.
YOU’RE MY HERO!
(My wife would laugh if she read that, she knows what I eat in the morning!)
LOL you are no where eclose to dementia.
Yes, Japanese surrendered after 2 nukes.
Incorrect. They surrendered after Russia sliced through their mainland forces.
Who isn’t close to what?
Interesting. Violating Freeper tradition, i read the article. Don’t know what to think.
On the family farm, we had about 2 square miles in oats. Remainder in winter wheat and oil seeds eg sunflowers. When I was young, we planted for alphafa.
I can blather forever on varieties, rotation after other crops (oats are very good scavengers of nutrients) and raising them for forage as opposed to cereal grain stock.
The N (as in 1 is small) but I eat them as hot cereal and cold cereal most mornings. They fortify my meat loaf. Sometimes I make haggis.
Biophysicist/CV physiologist in later life. I’ll have to look at the research protocol and analysis. Until i do so, my guess is that eating them is infinitely better than not eating them.

You !! Not anywhere close to dementia.
Well, let’s sample some horses.
They eat oats, right?
How many have Dognitive decline?
PS. If you check Donkeys, they must have eaten all the oats, because they max out the dementia scale. Joe B prime example.
lol just kidding!
I like Environmental Working Group too, give them a little $$ every year and get their updated lists of everything.
I was on Daily Mail when this cereal article first was posted. Said I considered every single cereal they listed to be junk food. I only eat Panda Puffs, organic with no GMOs. Plus, they taste good. Several people at DM asked questions about them, nice to know people are paying attention.
Panda Puffs are made in the US, available at Trader Joe,, Fred Meyer/Kroger, and AMZ. Probably other stores in other parts of the country.
BTW, I don’t eat wheat because it raises cholesterol levels. Read that years ago iin “Wheat Belly,” a book by Wm Davis, MD, who describes the process by which that happens. I gave up wheat and two months later my LDL went down to normal. It’s still normal.
