No doubt you probably remember using a lot of wheat germ at one time. I remember that you had a canister of wheat germ in the refrigerator. I bring up wheat germ as it contains a vitamin that is not legal to print on a label, yet it has been consider an anti-arrhythmia and anti-paralysis vitamin. It's actually called adenine or Vitamin B4. If you look on the label of any multi-vitamin formula, you will notice that B4 is never listed, despite the mention of a B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, etc.
It is ironic, but regular synthetic b-vitamins can increase a deficiency of vitamin B4. Besides wheat germ, nutritional yeast contains it, also raw honey does. While other foods do contain some B4, any heat or processing destroys it. That said, if you like the taste of wheat germ and do not mind using it on your cereal, it be another aid to atrial fibrillation.
