This lowers bad cholesterol. So, first thing about this is that Cheerios is making a true statement. Second thing, doesn't the FDA have a lot more things to handle that are actually important?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366424303703353252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294294294975883770.post-37879716172833799352009-05-13T10:13:00.000-04:002009-05-13T10:13:00.000-04:00I think the FDA has gotten carried away on this on...I think the FDA has gotten carried away on this one. Stating the Cheerios lowers cholesterol is more of a public service announcement more than a health disclaimer.

I do think someone should should enforce that truth in advertising law -- and I am not just talking about cheerios.
