American physician and #health-food pioneer whose development of dry #breakfast #cereals was largely responsible for the creation of the #flaked-cereal industry.
In 1876, at age 24, Dr. John Harvey #Kellogg became the staff physician at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a position he would hold for 62 years. His surgical skill was admired by the Doctors Mayo.
A vegetarian, he advocated low #calorie diets and developed #peanut butter, granola, and #toasted flakes.
He warned that smoking caused lung cancer decades before this link was studied.
Kellogg was an early advocate of #exercise.
It was his brother, William K. Kellogg who sweetened the flakes with malt, and began commercial production as the Battle Creek Toasted #CornFlake Company (1906).
