HEALTH ALERT: Metal Filings In Your Cereal

Glad to see the FDA is looking out for our best interests.

Gotta wonder what else is in all the other foods we eat.
Not to digress,but if ceral contains this,one can only imagine what the H1N1 shot can do to people.

Yummy!
Breakfast of champions.....or not.

WOW!!! This seems to be a major find... I'm not sure what kind of health hazards, if any, consuming iron filings poses, perhaps someone who knows more about it can post some more info regarding that aspect of this.

Anyone care to recreate the experiment?

What's wrong with an iron-rich diet?

Wouldn't that be kinda bad for your intestines?

for some reason i dont think that works the way it does in the video.

i call hoax until more people actually do it

How can this much iron effect you? I know it is bad for your health but also, what other foods has this much iron? Should not the health inspector order the decrease in iron?

I found this ....

I am still a little shocked .....

Everyone knows its Total.

JUST SAY IT TOTAL IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU!

Cereal has been like this for a long time, its not something that just started getting added, you don't need a blender or magnet to see this. I remember back in the 90s was the first time I noticed this. I was around 12yrs old and had just finished eating a bowl of cereal, I drank most of the milk but left a little bit in the bowl, I was playing with the little bit of milk left in the bowl sloshing it around the bowl like how someone panning for gold would work the water in the pan, I looked down to find what look like metal shavings in the bowl and freaked out. I immediately told my dad there was tiny bits of metal in my cereal bowl, he looked at them and said its normal he has noticed the same thing for many years. Next time you eat cereal use a white bowl, drink most of the milk and leave a little in the bowl, the remaining milk should hold a surprise for you,see what you can find. I have noticed this with a few different brands.

Should remember though that he used about half the bag, and the bag probably has around 12 servings.

When I was about 11 or so I realized that all the percentages next to the various nutrients did not mean that it was healthy...it's basically a sugar high with a multivitamin shoved in, that's what it comes to really. You'd be better off skipping the vast amount of carbs and go for just the vitamin in pill form. Even those don't have iron in it normally, at least men's formulas, since it increases oxidative stress.

It's interesting too how when we see food blended up, its not so appealing (shocker, I know). That big mac looks fantastic. Oh really? Try blending it up and see how thick and sticky it is. After that you might not ever want to have one again. Blended up fruit on the other hand....no one finds that disgusting. Veggies blended up are disgusting but so are they in their unblended form

Seriously, guys? No joke, I saw this exact same experiment on Bill Nye the Science Guy when I was about 10 years old.

Prove to me that this iron is bad for me before trying to scare me out of a breakfast. Is there any data out there that shows people who eat Total every morning suffering from gastrointestinal illnesses or problems with the liver or kidneys?

yet no one is concerned with the maximum 10% pus content the FDA allows in teh milk.
interesting.

Here is a research paper on the subject of Iron and Foliate in Fortified Cereals PDF

On page 6 - a study conducted in Finland is mentioned , i`ll let you make your own mind up on the subject.

If your worried about iron shavings eat Fiber 1 and drink 64 oz of water.

Hi, iron fans and no-fans.

I write the message just to say this: I don't buy the Fe3+ stuff.

What **I** learned was: that iron oxyde is Fe2O3 !

For the moment WHAT tells me that Fe3+ is REALLY formed in the stomach ??
NOTHING, because I did read this thread right now, and I know nothing still.

Conclusion?
I will do researches, with IXQUICK on: stomach, iron, Fe3+, Fe2O3, and
other keywords mixes. . .
