John Harvey Kellogg

The article identifies an irony in Kellogg promoting cereal for children's health while simultaneously pursuing a eugenics program aimed at improving human intelligence. Kellogg was a co-founder of the Race Betterment Foundation and an advocate of eugenics, including forced sterilization of those deemed unfit. The modern breakfast cereal industry traces directly to John Harvey Kellogg, a physician and nutritionist who promoted vegetarianism, soy milk, and grain cereals. High-sugar ultra-processed grain foods cause iodine deficiency, which is directly linked to reduced IQ.
