    I eat oatmeal with water every day and it had done really well with lowering my cholesterol and blood pressure. If cheerios doesn't do the same thing, it might be that people are eating it with milk that is the issue. I can't imagine eating cereal with water. That would be disgusting.

    Sugar in fruit is metabolically basically the same as table sugar.

    It's just that it's difficult to eat enough fruit to over consume sugar because it comes with a bunch of water and fibers

    My buddy worked for gmills for over a decade and said cheerios are mostly bugs. They grow naturally inside the cheerio mixture inside the pipes. They know this too which is a post raisin brain society 😂

    I used to be able to eat Cheerios until 2018. At that point my body had the same reaction as when I ate something with soy protein. Something in the formula changed.

    So I'll stick to my intermittent fasting and will keep preferring soaked oats to processed shapes, whenever I'm in the mood for cereal. But I always learn something new on this channel and I love the format. You're combating ignorance and misinformation and—dare I say it? yes I do—you're also combating racism by your very existence. You're doing good work.

    There was a cereal in the 90s that claimed it would take thousands of bowls of competitors' products to equal the Fibre of a single bowl. Perhaps No Lab Coats could investigate the cereal Super Colon Blow brought to us by the SNL corporation.

    Watching this while slow cooking fried eggs . Runny yolks..

    But I do love Cheerios!!! Just don’t eat much carbs for breakfast anymore..( we won’t discuss that trip to the pancake restaurant the other day, lol)

    Oh my god, I can’t believe I never made a connection between cholesterol and bile. The prefix “chole” means bile… that’s why it’s for in conditions involving the gallbladder.

    Your information on Ansel Keys in "biggest fib in food history" helped me loose 50lbs in 2023. This video about cholesterol helped me understand why my doctor prescribed me a statin despite being in excellent health now. You're helping real people like me. I'm joining your Patreon.

    "And the study was sponsored by none other than General Mills."

    Been a similar story I kept hearing when watching videos talking about the health benefits or risks of consuming dairy.

    So, with the 3 grams intake and all, I'm getting that's why the food pyramid I grew up with (My Plate was introduced so late into my schooling I don't recall the ratios for it and would have to look it up), the recommendation was 6-12 servings of grains per day, which, the large or multiple bowels of cereal for a meal wasn't quite a bad idea. The bad idea of the large bowels of cereal, which is most of the effects I suppose, with me being born in 1990, cereal products already had the bran or hull removed in most products and a bunch of sugar added to them, giving less bran intake and much more gluten and fructose, etc.

    Ideally, we would want more cereal (that is, cereal grains, not the processed cereals like Frosted Flakes and Cheerio's, etc.) in our diet, but whole cereals that have the bran and as little processing as possible, unless that processing is something like adding nits for nutrient density, from what I'm reading to confirm as I understood from reading about cereals multiple times before.

    Excellent presentation.
    😮I once did a search on saturated fat and the FDA. I ended up with pages of lawsuits against the FDA because the FDA would not allow these corporations to use the "Heart Healthy" label.😮

    If the box, or the ingredients, say that it contains whole grain (flour) it that it must contain the whole grain, including the bran.

    It feels these days that several health guidelines are just assumed based on study conclusion associations.
    The amount of information and education on this stuff is rare and hard to find and research.
    Thank you for doing your research and being straight up without being sponsored by the food industry.

    I stopped eating it years ago once I realized they just buy whatever are the cheapest grains on the market to make their product.

    My allergies settled down once and for all as soon as I dropped my regular consumption of that multigrain box of allergens

    Great video. Disgusting what companies can get away with. If they use natural colors and/or flavors, they don't have to list them. Natural does not mean that it is good. Scary thing is that some Cheerios has TSP as one of the ingredients. How could that be allowed! Cereal is a non-food and she not be eaten. Animals produce cholesterol because it is needed. LDL is not bad, damaged LDL is the issue. I had ApoA and ApoB levels check in my blood word.So, the fibre in the cereal is processed and thus worthless.

    Your blood holds about 5 minutes of ERG, When you eat to much, it stores it in your liver. The liver can hold about 12 to 24 hours of ERG from sugar. If your liver is full, it stores the fat in your fat. If you eat seed oils those oils can hold the fat in your cells and it takes about 2 years to get seed oils out of your cells. Fiber slows down sugar.
