Can't let this go unchallenged. Kellogg was a religious kook who employed
pretty barbaric methods to achieve his goals--e.g., circumcision without
anaesthetic to "treat" masturbation. (Read his Wikipedia entry for a
primer.) Also, the promotion of low-fat, high-cereal diets probably killed
more people than his radon experiments.
