This is a great thread but
Iron dust in cereal is where the iron content stated on the side panel comes from..nothing new.. we learned this in grade school..and that was a long time ago for me. I think most of us would be surprised at how our vitamins and minerals come to be in our foods.
Mom used to warn me all the time about black pepper (I love the stuff) ..I just thought " old wives tale" now I`m going to go test my peppercorns.

jeez people

Corn flakes are SUPPOSED to have iron in them

corn has iron in it naturally

go grow corn, organic plain corn... now dry the corn when it produces, now grind it up and take a magnet to it.. well looky there it's magic you found iron filings.


you do know the human body requires iron for red blood cells without iron we die.

and thankfully mother nature has iron in most all our grains and higher fiber foods all have iron in it naturally.


I would only be worried if you checked cornflakes and DIDNT find iron, then I'd get suspicious and start complaining.

Iron adds weight.
I have also noticed commercial tomatoes lately have
been unusually weighted, yet taste so bland.
It's not normal for a peach sized tomato to weigh
more than a 1kg

Wonder how much melamine & 'whey' is added to our
Cheese and milk products these days ?

We were so excited to find Blue Bell ice cream where we live overseas. Blue Bell is from Texas, and I have always thought of it as being pretty natural.

What we found - and it is true of many ice creams - they melt and get refrozen on the way here. By the time we see them they are full of weird, chemically-tasting "crystals". Seriously, it's like they're full of moth balls or something. Completely inedible. God only knows what that crap actually is. But it's nothing I'll ever eat again.

Excellent thread!!! S&F. I just tried the ice cream test with lemon juice and no reaction with the brand I tested. You can be sure I will try this again though with other brands.

They are feeding us poison. Doesn't anyone ever wonder what the 30 odd some ingredients in small writing are listed on the back of the box? Not natural, that's what. Not for your benefit.

nice links. I am going to have to try these tips on my stuff... It's too bad that all the stuff that don't contain a little bit death is sooo expensive. I seriously think they putting some kind of new hormones in meat... they're not supposed to but that is why every one is so fat. The steroids and ect. they give the beef bulks us up, and is causing us to be hungry all the time. I still don't understand why the war on "fat" is focused on taking away food, and not removing food additives that cause us to be so big.
