Health Educator Calls Cereal 'Most Dangerous Food'

A prominent health educator, Eric Berg, has controversially named cereal and orange juice as the planet's most dangerous foods. He asserts these ultra-processed items are essentially sugar bombs, causing significant fructose overload that harms the liver and can lead to fatty liver disease.

Berg, who is a certified chiropractor with a large online following, criticizes these common breakfast choices for their high sugar and starch content, lack of protein, and synthetic vitamin C. He explains that their altered state makes them ultra-processed, and the liver struggles to metabolize them, converting excess into fat.

While many nutritionists agree that breakfast cereals, particularly those marketed to children, are unhealthy and offer poor nutritional value, they hesitate to label any single food as the absolute 'most dangerous.' Some experts also caution against Berg's broader claims, particularly regarding seed oils, suggesting his theories mix scientific facts with oversimplifications.
