Fwd: Advanced Health & Wellness Newsletter / Cheerios a drug?

June 17, 2009

While I think the FDA has more important things to be doing, I think it's about

time!

Cheerios is a highly processed food and General Mills' inflated claims in huge

bubbles all over the boxes just can't pan out. Who really should be eating two 1

1/2 cup servings (which is more than the one cup serving) of what is basically

white bread?

One would be better off eating old fashioned oatmeal, if not steel-cut oats.

Certainly not that over-processed stuff to improve heart health.

Oh... and here is a link to the text of the whole letter to General Mills from

the FDA (the link had changed from the article):

I actually thought it was really funny-Big Pharma takes on Big Business! And I am positive a Big Pharma company was responsible for the FDA's move.....they never move on their own...thanks for the additional link...
