"Cheerios is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol 4 percent in 6 weeks" First of all, I seriously doubt that the 4% is statistically significant.

So, if they can say any food is a “drug”, does that mean I can pay for it with 0bamacare?

Whats the confidence interval and standard deviation- if either are huge then it very well could be statistically significant. They usually only show 1 or 2 of the mean, standard deviation, and confidence interval in any statistics reporting - that way they don’t get nailed down by those annoying facts.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Cheerios with sliced banana was one of the things I craved when pregnant.

Looks like the FDA has a lot of time on its hands.

Looks like GM can just remove the specific statistical claims.

Meanwhile the “men can be larger” pills are being hawked constantly on the boob tube with no restrictions, along with the diet pill scams.

I think he means "clinically significant."
Obviously a 4% decline alone doesnt sound like much. But I think General Mills has a fair point. If you can get a 4% bang out of just its product, think what you can get if you combine Cheerios with an overall plan to lower your cholesterol.
That could bring you into clinical significance.

How much of that reduction is just from eating Cheerios instead of bacon and eggs for breakfast? Did the Cheerios reduce your cholesterol or did skipping the bacon and eggs do that no matter what you replaced it with (other than sausage, of course).

I’d like to help a man in need, that’s just how I am.
At the moment, I am ‘Coco’ for Cocoa Puffs. I used to have a source for Fruit Loops, but he graduated the 6th grade and his family moved away. TonyT was taking care of my ‘Frosted Flakes’ stash, but I heard that he got run out of the pride by some new upstart by the name of Terence. Terence won’t respond to my tweets.
The truth is that Cheerios left a hole in my life, and did I fall down that hole. I am just thankful the we have Obama to save us from the 3:00AM stumble through the kitchen looking for just one more Cheerio to shove into our mouth.
I hear that GM is coming out with a new cereal called Tobacco Twists. A little milk and sugar and while you still may not be able to pay the mortgage, it won’t seem to be such a pressing problem.
