And that diet my family doctor had me on for several years.......................... Title: Re: Truly horrible real ads. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on October 23, 2018, 05:31:26 AM This ad was from 1921. I doubt your childhood goes back that far. It was the doscovery a lot of people in some parts of america we're dying of vitamin deficiency lead to standards like the RDA for vitamins, minerals, etc.

It was the doscovery a lot of people in some parts of america we're dying of vitamin deficiency lead to standards like the RDA for vitamins, minerals, etc. I don't remember much about it (It was the early '70s, and I was very little), I just remember my doctor told my mom to stop giving me milk, cola, and Flintstone vitamins, and she started giving me Cream Of Wheat for breakfast............ Oh yes, I suddenly have some questions! Title: Re: Truly horrible real ads. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on October 23, 2018, 07:43:20 PM This ad was from 1921. I doubt your childhood goes back that far.

Oh yes, I suddenly have some questions! By the 70's CoW likely had some vitamins added to make it healthier, and having it for breakfast isn't bad as long as you get your essentials in other meals.

AAaannd, I'll try & git back on topic in a minute (or a few days), but I'm really beginning to think my family doctor was up to something diabolical during the 1970s!
