Cheerios Cinnamon Burst Cereal

[almightyares]

Just picked up a box, saw it was new and it has a lot more fiber than regular cheerios, and plus regular cheerios are 110 cals per 0.75 cup, cinnamon burst cheerios are 110 cals per 1 cup. They taste great...try them out if you eat other carbs than "just oats".

They sound good!!

Yes, the box has more fiber, but the stuff in the box is what you're supposed to eat.

i searched pubmed, all i found was bht "maybe" aggrevating a rash on a study w a 2 person sample size, and one saying it had no effect on astma. do u have specific links regarding bht, because im nufamiliar w/ it other than the search i just ran

[MikeK46]

Why is it that "whole grain oats" are the main ingredient in regular cheerios, but not any of the others?

[WonderPug]

So you're only worried about butylhydroxytoluene,* right?

What peer-reviewed journal published research indicates risk in humans at dietary consumption levels?



------------
* BHT is lipophilic (fat-soluble) organic compound that is primarily used as an antioxidant food additive.

Sure, some links are:

Like I said, my personal judgment call is not to eat it. You do what you want. I stay away from most preservatives/additives such as BHT, MSG, hydrogenated oils, HFCS, etc. That's not to say I don't consume foods with them (eating out, eating at someone else's cooking, etc), but as long as I'm in control of what's being made (which is usually the case most of the time) then I avoid them.

[WonderPug]

^ eHow and canadiancontent are not peer-reviewed journals.

You can find warning and suggestions to avoid almost anything if you search for such. But most of those warnings are basted on pseudo-science or are just tinfoil hat nonsense.

And that's why peer-reviewed journal published research is important.

[PBateman2]

On my list! Will definitely try.

Not Cinnamon Toast Crunch/10

This thread is well over a year old, I'm almost positive most of these posters have "manned up" by now.

The past thanks you for your contribution
