Seed-oil flake oxidation.
why the cereal bowl ages your face.
Industrial seed oils are polyunsaturated and oxidise on heat and on the shelf.
Cereal flakes are extruded at temperatures that fry the lipid layer before you open the box.
Once eaten the oxidised lipids ride into membranes and skin and slowly stiffen them.
Switch the flake for eggs or yogurt and the input upgrades the output.
