Serial liar Barack Obama tells cereal maker General Mills to stop advertising the truth about Cheerios

Barack Obama is a serial liar, which I have shown in Here are 226 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc.

But when a cereal maker tells the truth, Obama tells it to stop telling the truth.

For quite some time, advertisements for the breakfast cereal Cheerios made the true and accurate claim that eating Cheerios lowers a person’s cholesterol.

However, even though this claim is true and accurate, the Obama administration ordered General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, to stop making this claim in its commercials.

Screw GM. They are big time proponents of sodomy. Glad to see them get harassed by the Clown they support.

I think people are realizing that lowering the numbers doesn’t take the problems away. Diet Diet Diet

When you eat, bile is secreted into your intestines to help digest your food. Bile is made by your liver, and it contains a lot of cholesterol (some of which is actually MADE by your liver even when you did not eat cholesterol).

Bile is a “detergent” that “emulsifies” fat in the food you eat so you can absorb it.

As your food goes through the intestines, the food is partly absorbed, but your body also RE-ABSORBS back your cholesterol-containing bile.

SOLUBLE FIBER is something in foods like Cheerios. Bile sticks to it, and then cannot be re-absorbed so well, so the cholesterol-containing bile passes out of your body in the stool instead of being re-absorbed.

Soluble fiber therefore is a one-way ticket out of your body for some cholesterol, EVEN IF YOU DID NOT EAT ANY CHOLESTEROL! Soluble fiber does seem like a healthy thing to eat, especially for some people.

Cheerios DO IN FACT have that soluble fiber effect of lowering cholesterol. So why can’t GM state a fact about their product? The government should keep its nanny goat nose out of the free market!

(Oh, so, “it’s science” whatever that means.)

No, this is shoddy reporting. It wasn’t the Serial Liar this time but the FDA. Cheerios is making a specific claim that their cereal reduces cholesterol. The FDA views that as a medical issue so told GM they either not made the claim or have Cheerios be regulated as a drug.

Thanks, that clarifies it.

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.

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.

‘SOLUBLE FIBER is something in foods like Cheerios. Bile sticks to it, and then cannot be re-absorbed so well, so the cholesterol-containing bile passes out of your body in the stool instead of being re-absorbed.’

I don’t think I want to eat anymore.

Beat me to it. My parents fried almost everything.

Big ol’ jar of bacon grease on the back of the stove to coat the pans for pancakes/cheese sandwiches/anything that might stick.

Kids nowadays don’t know what they are missing.

Isn’t General Mills a big corporate donor to leftists?

Was it truly necessary to post photos of people jumping to their death from the WTC on a thread about Cheerios?

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.

[packrat35]

I do have low cholesterol and low testerone. Never knew of a possible connection.

[packrat35]

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.

I’ve apparently been misinformed. I was not aware that we were frying foods for so long.

OR... perhaps a caveat, calex, if you’ll allow me:

Perhaps in the 1980s we started using more “manufactured” oils such as Crisco and hydrogenated oils instead of the typical lard, bacon fat, and butter everyone had been using?

I personally don’t have anything against frying foods, but due to the inevitable GERD I get after I eat them, I tend to stay away.

No offense intended. I simply got my facts mixed up.
