The FDA should leave General Mills and Cheerios alone. Cheerios are good for you, your heart, and your total cholesterol. I have no science credentials to support my claim but I do know this: I have eaten a bowl of Cheerios literally almost every day of my life since I was a toddler and my cholesterol was 92 last I checked. The doctors had to check and re-check my different cholesterol measurements and compare with my other data to get a big picture and to confirm they hadn't made any mistakes. Will people suffer adverse health consequences by eating some Cheerios perhaps instead of bacon and eggs or donuts and coffee one morning? No. Have people suffered from using or simply relying on FDA-approved medications marketed to treat high cholesterol. Yes. Focus, FDA, focus.
