Kellogg’s Corn Flakes (10/22)

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes

J.H. Kellogg, the man responsible for the well-known Kellogg’s cereal brand, was not only a medical doctor but also a passionate health activist. He held strong beliefs about the connection between diet and overall well-being, which led to the creation of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Surprisingly, these famous corn flakes were initially designed to prevent sexual urges, specifically to discourage the act of masturbation.

During the 19th century, masturbation was considered sinful and detrimental to one’s health. Dr. Kellogg believed that a healthy, bland diet could help combat these urges and promote overall physical and moral well-being. As a result, he developed corn flakes as a breakfast option that aligned with his beliefs about nutrition and its effects on human behavior.
