The new Democrat-controlled Food and Drug Administration has decided that Cheerios are a drug and are under its control... I guess you can blame it on the oats. Cheerios are made of oats. Whole-grain oats, including the soluble fiber that makes them so healthy. See, oats contain a substance that seems to suck cholesterol out of the blood. Doctors think that's good for you because cholesterol is bad for you -- at least excess cholesterol is... Eating oats can be better for lowering your cholesterol than taking drugs... And Cheerios has put that news on the front of its box. Specifically, Cheerios claims that by eating it for a month, you can lower your cholesterol by as much as 10 percent.
My wife has type 2 diabetes and needs to watch her cholesterol. When it comes to breakfast, cheerios are the best solution we’ve found for both problems. For the past two years I’ve been eating them too, since I found out where to go to get them for $1.50-$1.75 a box. They’re even a good snack for the parrot. I never thought I’d become a public enemy for promoting cheerios consumption.
