Your breakfast cereal was created by an anti-masturbation crusader. 🥣 . . . In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg served the first Corn Flakes at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan. He believed spicy or flavorful food inflamed sexual passion — and that masturbation caused blindness, epilepsy, and 39 other conditions. But the cereal itself was designed primarily as a bland, healthy food for digestion. Millions still eat it daily.
