Is this new? Seems like I see ads like this all the time. Like the ones where a group of friends is a black guy, a white guy, and an asian guy, which I have never actually seen in my life.

Cheerios are "heart healthy?
heavily processed carbs, a packaged, dead, food-like substance, empty calories with a high glycemic index that do nothing POSITIVE for heart health.
and "lower cholesterol" is nothing but the 60-year-old cholesterol / statin-pimping scam.

Yes, that is exactly what's being discussed here.Cheerios are "heart healthy?

This truth? You sure?Cheerios are "heart healthy?
heavily processed carbs, a packaged, dead, food-like substance, empty calories with a high glycemic indes that do nothing POSITIVE for heart health.

you doubt The Great Boutons?
LOL...
YES!
Beta-glucan (oat fiber) is definitely heart healthy and has been proven to have tons of health/immune benefitsCheerios are "heart healthy?
heavily processed carbs, a packaged, dead, food-like substance, empty calories with a high glycemic index that do nothing POSITIVE for heart health.
and "lower cholesterol" is nothing but the 60-year-old cholesterol / statin-pimping scam.
how much Beta-glucan in a bowl of Cheerios?
How much of Beta-glucans, and Cheerios are necessary for a beneficial effect for normal cholesterol, for therapeutic effect for high cholesterol?
High cholesterol is still a BigPharma/medical scam to sell statins.
No wonder I like Beef Barley Soup!
Seriously, though its on the box even with the generic brands..oatmeal is a better source than oat cereal
"Specifically, Cheerios a leading brand of cereal has had minimal effects on lowering blood cholesterol levels. The recommended intake of 3g of soluble fiber or more can substantially lower blood cholesterol if consumed in addition to a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Therefore, Cheerios recommends that eating 1-1/2 cups twice a day or roughly 3 cups of Cheerios per day Cheerios will lower blood cholesterol because the cereal only contains 1g of soluble fiber per cup. This means that consumers would have to eat 3 bowls of Cheerios per day in order to obtain its positive effects of soluble fiber. However, while adding fiber to their diet, consumers would also be adding sugar and three times as many calories. Thus, eating 3 cups of Cheerios in order to achieve the recommended 3g of soluble fiber is not a practical approach. Therefore, Cheerios does not realistically produce the substantial benefits of lowering cholesterol as advertised by General Mills."
so Cheerios for cholesterol is a typical BigFood FAT ING LIE, at very best an intentional misrepresentation.
and high cholesterol is a killer is a myth, a BigPharma scam to sell statins and all their negative side effects.
here's another example of ridiculous BigFood propaganda
No, Frosted Mini-Wheats Won't Make Your Kids Smarter
If you thought sugar-coated pockets of shredded wheat could boost your brain power, we're here to break it to you gently: No, they can't. But a check in the mail may soon ease your disappointment.
Breakfast foods purveyor Kellogg has agreed to a $4 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging it ran a deceptive marketing campaign for the sugary cereal.
The ads, which ran in 2008 and 2009, claimed that eating Frosted Mini-Wheats could improve kids' attentiveness and memory. A voice-over in one ad told viewers: "A clinical study showed kids who had a filling breakfast of Frosted Mini-Wheats cereal improved their attentiveness by nearly 20 percent."
The problem, as journalist Michael Moss recounts in Salt Sugar Fat, was that the clinical study the ads referenced — a study paid for by Kellogg, by the way — didn't actually support that claim. He writes:But according to Moss, many parents bought into those assertions anyway. "A resounding 51 percent of the adults surveyed were not just certain that the claim about attentiveness was true," he writes, "they believed that it was true only for Frosted Mini-Wheats."
"The truly remarkable aspect of the campaign is that the company study, even if taken at face value, did not come close to supporting the claim in its advertising. Half of the children who ate bowls of Frosted Minis showed no improvement at all on the tests they were given to measure their ability to remember, think, and reason, as compared with their ability before eating the cereal. Only one in seven kids got a boost of 18 percent or more."
goddamn, Americans are ing stupid as , and BigCorp, Repugs/VRWC/Fox, BigFood, BigPharma KNOW it, and depend on that stupidity.
The current suit was brought by two such sets of parents who were angry about being misled,
Under the terms of the deal, customers will be eligible for a refund of up to $15 for boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats purchased between Jan. 28, 2008, and Oct. 1, 2009. (And, no, you don't need an old supermarket receipt to make a claim.)
In a statement on the it set up to handle claims, the company says, "Kellogg stands by its advertising and denies it did anything wrong." But the company has agreed to stop making such claims for a while. Instead, it will be limited to statements such as, "Clinical studies have shown that kids who eat a filling breakfast like Frosted Mini-Wheats have an 11 percent better attentiveness in school than kids who skip breakfast."
Kellogg told NPR: "We long ago adjusted our communication to incorporate the Federal Trade Commission's guidance."
