It appears that up to 12 different studies, double blind studies at that, have determined that sugar does not alter their behaviour, even if the children have ADHD. What they did discover, however, was that the parents rated their children as more hyperactive due to the sugar. It was all in the parents minds. As a small observation from me; the parents were probably by proxy changing the children’s behaviour as well.

So think about it, the next time you want to stop your kids from eating sugar, are you doing it for the right reasons? It’s better to focus on feeding your kids healthy food as to avoid them turning into humongous lard-buckets.

Som ein seier på nettet; Oh Emm Gee! :D

From there on the cereal’s evolution has progressed onwards. I’ve added peanut kernels (which’re bloody awesome), cinnamon, Axa Fruktmüsli (as it was dirt cheap, 9.50,- at Coop Extra! not to mention acceptable levels of sugar. I hope). One of the latest additions have been flax seeds and sunflower seeds. All of them are yummy additions. As a matter of fact I’m going to try chili powder tomorrow morning, just for kicks.

The fun part is adding boiled water to the mix, and then eating it as soon as it’s cooled down a bit. Immensely delicious start on the day alongside coffee and water.

Adding too much oil, and not enough heat will boil the food, not fry it. If you want to deep fry you need a lot of heat.

Different oils have different tastes, find your favourite yourself.

With different temperatures, because at a certain temperature it’ll start creating smoke. It’s unhealthy. Here’s a neat list of the oils and the temperatures.

When using oil in a salad I recommend a virgin olive oil (unheated and/or unprocessed), and then adding whatever you want sprinkled on top. Makes for a neat, simple taste. Google for advanced dressings.
