This does strike me as faintly ridiculous although you do have to be aware that big pharma also use food products to make profits from their drugs that aren’t successful enough. Got a cholesterol drug that works but not to the same effect as ones currently available? Don’t market it as a drug, sell it as “food” like Benecol! They’re pretty sneaky…

@Eugene – I eat oatmeal every single morning for breakfast every single day….for the last couple of years or so. I still look forward to it ….and if I’m not mistaken, oatmeal lowers cholesterol too

Sometimes I wonder how much must one take to really reduce the cholesterol with such foods. Just like when they say Quaker Oats can reduce cholesterol, I think one must take at least 3 times a day for continuous 3 to 6 months to see results. Will one go bonkers taking the same food everyday?

When something like this happens it makes me realize how vulnerable we are to advertising. It seems like the general population knows enough about cholesterol and their health that a cereal should not have this kind of influence. It can be as simple as reading a couple of credible health stories on healthy diets and watching what you eat… though I guess Cheerios are misleading us all of a sudden.
