Cheerios........?

Question

Do cherios really lower cholosterol.

Answer 1

I eat a bowl of Cheerios almost every day for breakfast and my LDL cholesterol (bad) was only 90 at my last check up. It's a study of one, but I guess I am a believer.

Answer 2

Cheerios' health appeal stems from its lack of artificial flavoring and coloring, low sugar, fat, and cholesterol content, and being a source of dietary fiber and folic acid. Beginning in 1996, Cheerios featured the American Heart Association's seal of heart and checkmark indicating it had met the AHA nutrition guidelines for its food certification program. This in part led to Cheerios being issued the first health-claim confirmation by the Food and Drug Administration that Cheerios, oatmeal, and oat products can lower the risk of heart disease in 1997, along with a medical journal study in 1998 indicating that Cheerios could in fact lower blood cholesterol levels when eaten as a part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Recently, General Mills created an all-natural organic food version of Cheerios. While many companies such as Frito-Lay have created organic foods with the same brand name as the original[citation needed], General Mills chose not to do this, to the dismay of organic food promoters, and used the Cascadian Farm brand in order to sell "Purely O's". The corporate decision was made so that consumers would not view the original Cheerios as somehow inferior to the organic Purely O's.

Answer 3

yes they do but any form of oats which is (what cheerios is made from) will help lower cholosterol. eat oatmeal every day and it will do the same thing.

Answer 4

Yes, sort of ... soluble fiber helps reduce blood cholesterol levels. Here's the specifics:

As part of a low-fat diet, 3 grams of soluble fiber daily can help reduce blood cholesterol; Honey Nut Cheerios provides .75 grams of soluble fiber in a 1-cup serving.

Answer 5

The plain Cheerios, not the Strawberry or Vanilla Yogurt brand.

Answer 6

Cheerios on their own don't lower cholesterol...it is eating them instead of some other more popular breakfast foods. Like eating cheerios for breakfast instead of your regular McDonald's Egg McMuffin will lower it. It's misleading the way they say it.

Answer 7

Of course they do! Especially if you eat Cheerios instead of a Egg and Cheese omlet each morning!

Answer 8

If eaten as part of a balanced breakfast and accompanied by a strict exercise regimen, then yes, they have been shown to reduce cholesterol.

Answer 9

if you eat them every day 4 the next 6 years

Answer 10

Cheerios's lower cholesterol because insted of having bacon and eggs you have oats and sugar.
