one problems with Cheerios is that it uses Trisodium Phosphate. If you don't know what it is, read about it here

I can't eat the cerial because it gives me the runs something fierce. Very few cereals use TSP. No wonder why they make the claim it cleans your system of cholesterol.

Hmmm.... it says (in part) — TSP is used in various forms as a boiler treatment chemical for calcium precipitation, and also to regulate the caustic effects of disodium phosphate in coordinated phosphate chemistry.

I wonder..., can I use it to clean out my coffee-maker?

I mean, if they put it in Cheerios, it must not kill you... LOL...

Sounds like good stuff.

Yeah, but its the dihydrogen monoxide in the milk that’s got me really worried. And it’s there in a concentration 100 million times higher than the TSP in the Cheerios dough.

That alone ought to give you reason to stop and think.
