The Natural News Forensic Food Lab has once again made a shocking discovery involving yet another one of today’s most widely consumed retail products — General Mills’ Wheaties breakfast cereal. As discovered by lab director and food scientist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, Wheaties contain so many microscopic fragments of metal that individual flakes can actually be lifted and carried using common magnets.
The Natural News Forensic Food Lab regularly conducts scientific testing of consumer products in the public interest, using atomic spectroscopy, microscopy and ingredient identity testing to better inform the public about what they’re eating. Results of all investigations are published online for everyone to see. To view photos of this microscopy study, visit Labs.NaturalNews.com.
General Mills insists that the metal bits are added to enhance the cereal’s nutritional profile. Adams, however, is skeptical of the formulation.
“Adding shards of metal to a cereal is not nutritionally equivalent to nutritive minerals formed during the growth of grain-producing plants,” he explains. “Bioavailability is vastly different.”
Adams believes adding metal fragments to a cereal mix in an effort to claim a higher nutritional content on the box is “inherently deceptive” and points out that the manufacturer, General Mills, has also sold other deceptively-labeled cereals such as “TOTAL Blueberry Pomegranate” which contains neither blueberries nor pomegranates.
