    I don't buy it - oatmeal is the purest wholefood there is.

    As an early riser I like having a good breakfast, modest lunch and small supper.

    I vary my breakfasts to prevent boredom. Sometimes I will just fry a couple of pork sausages and on other days I will have a slice of toast with cheddar cheese or apricot preserves. About once a week or so I will make myself a cheese and onion omelette. Fried green bananas when I can find them are one of my favorites. Once in a while I will have the whole big breakfast fry up with pork rashers, eggs over easy and fries on the side. Oats porridge with currants, nuts and condensed milk is good to have on cold mornings.

    Depending on what I am having I will either have fruit juice or a hot beverage with it and I always have some fruit of one kind or another to follow.

    I
    Technically rolled oats are gluten free but those made commercially like Quaker are contaminated with wheat from other products. Instead I purchase gluten free oats from a farm that makes their own. That bypasses the added chemicals nonsense.

    The ingredients on my Sainsbury's porridge oats 'Wholegrain Scottish oat flakes 100%'. That's good enough for me. Wish that I were having some for lunch today, but I only had it for lunch day before yesterday.

    Unless it is full of poisons, toxins, and carcinogenic chemicals. Si?

    Are YOU aware of glyphosate? aka Round Up.

    Are you sure your 100% Wholegrain Scottish oat flakes are glyphosate Free?

    All Natural Quaker Oats is not glyphosate fee and is facing legal challenges.



    Besides the idea that the oatmeal comes from this or that "Happy Acres" farms,
    is anyone certain their oatmeal is free of detectable glyphosate?
    Or is it just faith in the producer?

    If it's an insect killer which is sprayed on fields of grain you might agree there aren't many food products which don't get the same sort of attention; you come across as a bit um, over cautious to me? I'll qualify that by saying that 'Quaker' is the name of a manufacturer of oatmeal and they might source from an unethical supplier; that doesn't mean that all manufacturers source from the same supplier. If we all became obsessed by insect repellents, or in the case of glyphosate weed killers, we'd all starve to death? 'Everything in moderation, young Cerby.' as my nanny used to say as she dandled me on her knee.

    I usually don't eat breakfast, and I know this is supposed to be a serious thread, but...

    Given that the 3rd generation farmers themselves suffer from gluten allergies and consume their own produce the odds of them including something that would poison themselves is highly unlikely IMO.

    Bacon and Eggs does not cause cancer nor heart disease, etc.
    Lots editorials about it but no evidence.
    Oh my the nitrites. Oh my the smoked meat. Those are theoretical conclusions.
    The evidence exists for glyphosate & oatmeal. :rant:

    POINT: If you eat oatmeal, don't be "full of it" because you think you are eating healthy.

    Bacon is processed meat - emphasis on 'processed', and nobody in their right mind would eat food which has been effed around with? - and eggs are laden with the fat in which they're fried (I nearly typed 'friend' :roll: ) and the high cholesteral of the yolk. Now and again, fine, too often = asking for trouble down the road. Oh, and there's no glyphosate in Sainsbury's oatmeal. So there!

    But you are just as likely to be consuming glyphosate in your toast or some other cereal that you have for breakfast.

    There is no evidence against bacon and eggs.
    Just parroting. :blahblah:
    Before refrigeration, think of how much more important smoked meats were.
    And to the best of my knowledge, cancer rates did not plummet with refrigeration.

    If you have digested glyphospahte in "most" oatmeal, consider fish.
    Heavy metals, organic toxins today and before WW2 Norway & Japan were major kidney disease nations. They lived on fish as protein. A gram of fish protein is harder on the kidneys than a gram of land animal protein because of more nitrogen waste.



    I just searched your oatmeal online and can find no reference to "no glyphosate".
    I do find lots of glyposphate links but only to contaminated foods. Such as baby food.
    And links to your oatmeal that do not mention glyphosate.

    Yes, qualitatively but not quantitatively.

    I haven't eaten breakfast in years. I stay away from carbs. If I eat carbs early in the day, I will continue to eat them all day or else I crash. Pancakes, waffles, or doughnuts will put me on a peak and valley cycle for the rest of the day. I run better on protein. I also do a 24 hour fast once a month.

    Glyphosate is a containment, not an ingredient to be listed.
    Duh - Uh !


    The information you want is it has been tested and free of any glyphosate residue.
    Not within gov't standards.
    Got Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma? Consume more glyphosate, even as a residue!
    Now available in name brand baby foods too.

    And I thought this kind of thing only happened in China.

    Portion size.
    Still not a good idea because what is the safe dose of glyphosate.
    Similar to radiation, probably zero. No safe dose.

    What Me Worry?
    I eat paleo. ;)

    I'm 83 and I'm concerned with maintaining my weight which has become increasingly hard to do. 95% of the time it will be Skim Milk, V8 and Raisin Bran. For lunch most often a bottle of chocolate Boost. That way I can have an enjoyable dinner.
