But, unlike the former in the title, you sure won't hear the MSM busting on The Messiah about his nonsense:
The FDA warned General Mills that it was, in effect, marketing its Cheerios breakfast cereal as a drug, because the cereal’s familiar yellow boxes carry unapproved claims about lowering cholesterol and reducing the risks of heart disease.Posted by Hube at May 14, 2009 04:53 PM | TrackBackIn a warning letter, the FDA cited the claim that “you can lower your cholesterol by 4 per cent in six weeks” by eating Cheerios regularly.
It objected to Cheerios’ assertion that “eating two 1½ cup servings daily of Cheerios cereal reduced bad cholesterol when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol”.
Have you ever seen what Cheerios look like ground into a powder? I bet that would give a person a high if snorted.

Posted by: Hube at May 14, 2009 05:42 PMYeah, but it is treated functionally as a vegetable and is culturally considered to be one.
