Thank you, Susan, for passing along your Prevention piece. Well done, and a good read. In my book, fish oils/EFAs are a big dietary gap for most people. Same for Vitamin D, too.

I thought you’d find this new take on omega-3s interesting: http://www.prevention.com/cda/article/the-vanishing-youth-nutrient/6dec72fe5deb2210VgnVCM10000030281eac____/news.voices/in.the.magazine/september.2009.issue/0/0/1

Hi Nathan: Rice Krispies??? Man I’ll have to check that out and see how they describe that claim. If any cereal is fortified with vitamins and iron, does that make it an immune system enhancer? Hmmmmmm. Thanks for passing that along. Think I’ll send it in to the Chicago Trib’s food/nutrition writer and see what she thinks.

I am seeing immunity as a selling point being used more and more, especially with kids going back to school and getting exposed to germs. Rice Krispies now has a giant “IMMUNITY” banner across the front of the box!
