John Harvey Kellogg was a walking contradiction. A religious fanatic and a man of science. A racist and a philanthropist. A man so obsessed with wellness, he paid no mind to how many died in his care, so long as it furthered his studies.

But just how did a promising young prodigy become America's most infamous mad doctor? Find out in part one of The Cereal Killer Chronicles, The Mad Doctor.
