I discovered this cereal called "golean" by kashis. It has 13 grams of protein per serving, 10 grams of fiber and only 140 calories! This seems way too good to be true. Everything in life seems like it's a double edged sword, so someone tell me if this is too good to be true or not?
Sport this seems too good to be true.

no sh*t it has tons of fiber and whole grains
so there is nothing bad about this stuff then? It's not too good to be true?
By the way, how does this cereal taste? It looks like it has a ton of good stuff and I might actually try it. I just eat shredded wheat right now with some egg whites in another dish, but I'm looking to try something new.
It looks ok too me. I don't know if I would choose this instead of oats but this could be a decent alternative. As for it being gods gift to man, nah. The protein source is weak as leip said. And it is still a refined grain. It does have a lot of fiber, thats nice. (But you have to use milk to eat it ewww)
it did the same thing to my boyfriend. anything with soy usually does though.
it doesn't seem to bother me at all.
I like a lot of Kashi's products. Short of going to a specialty grocery store (that I don't have access to) - they are one of the best widely available brands imo, and actually taste decent enough to eat.
Personally, I don't notice any problems with soy, but I know some people are somewhat sensitive to it.

I eat about 1.5 servings of this cereal each morning with ground flax seed dumped on the top, it's excellent.
Evaporated Cane Juice, is a form of sugar (sucrose if you will, or simular). Its lower on the ingredient chart, and is better ingredient choice than refined sugar. So yes, its good stuff. The circumference or totality of the ingredients are very good, andis a good thing to consume.
I hit on the can juice, because I do believe one should (within reason) refrain from refined sugar like the PLAGUE.
I sometimes nibble on a natural peanut butter type called: Cinnimon Raisin Peanut butter (has real raisins in it too) and (it has evaporated cane juice in it too), which I prefer over refined sugar (though STILL its a form of it). Gives me a small jolt of Protein, a small joilt of good fats, a small joilt of natural fruit sugar (which is good, the raisins), and a small amount of evaporated can juice (which is okay, dont get much), and I use this to gain a bit of energy at times, along with eating other propotional stuff. The label on this Natural Cinnimon Raisin Peanut Butter, says its sugar free, but its misleading, as evaporated cane juice is another form (albeit a bit different) of sugar. But, suprisingly, this stuff is good SH@t! But like all PB, it can be a diet killer (dang it), becuase its so dang calorie dense (all well, deal with it, and I do).
