This has been making the rounds regarding oatmeal and cheerios.


An Environmental Working Group study found the pesticide chlormequat in some oat products, including popular breakfast cereal and oatmeal

They probably don’t like that chemical because it sounds too much like hydrochloroquine.

I like Environmental Working Group too, give them a little $$ every year and get their updated lists of everything.

I was on Daily Mail when this cereal article first was posted. Said I considered every single cereal they listed to be junk food. I only eat Panda Puffs, organic with no GMOs. Plus, they taste good. Several people at DM asked questions about them, nice to know people are paying attention.

Panda Puffs are made in the US, available at Trader Joe,, Fred Meyer/Kroger, and AMZ. Probably other stores in other parts of the country.

BTW, I don’t eat wheat because it raises cholesterol levels. Read that years ago iin “Wheat Belly,” a book by Wm Davis, MD, who describes the process by which that happens. I gave up wheat and two months later my LDL went down to normal. It’s still normal.

Ooops, DM article I was talking about was posted yesterday. About cereals:

Health warning over vitamin added to breakfast cereals, pasta and bread as scientists find it may be a ‘significant’ driver of heart attacks and strokes
