Cheerios alone might have a “scrubbing” effect on free cholesterol in the body such as triglycerides. They act as sponges, in a way. However, what they don’t tell you is that unless you’re eating your Cheerios with skim milk, you’re still consuming milk fat.
That being said, it’s been shown in recent dietary journals that consumption of Omega 6’s, such as those found in oats, bran, barley, etc., have an inflammatory effect on the cardiovascular system.
America’s diet changed drastically in the 1980s due to an overzealous campaign that promoted fats as making us fat. Dietary science over the last 15 years has proven that’s not only false, but that what we replaced those fats with are what’s actually contributing to our obesity.
For instance, prior to the 1980s, frying food was something that wasn’t done so often. Nowadays, you can’t go to most restaurants and find a non-fried item on the menu. Supposedly coating chicken in breadcrumbs and frying it was healthy because the breadcrumbs have fiber and the chicken is low-fat? Right.
Thanks.
Excuse me, but as a guy that was born in 1942, I can tell you that frying foods was the norm in America until the food nazis started arriving with the hippies in the 1960s, and even for years after that until brain washing set in. Frying food is taboo according to the present day food nazis. I don't know where you get your info but it is dead wrong.
My primary diet consists of Meat, Cheese, & Pepsi. I am 52 and my cholesterol level is too low. Blood pressure is fine and am not a diabetic. I am over wieght but all other levels are fine.
Born in 1961 and ate fried foods all my life and still do. My cholesterol level is too low so diet isn’t all the answer.
