I have just validated this in Australia with Kellogs fruity loops ! Same magnetic effect! I am unsure if it is the water or the cereal ! However, I did try with another brand and didn't have the same effect! Scum bags !
I used to have a toy with a mans face that had those same shavings. I would give him hair and a beard with a magnetic wand. We're all turning into him now! That's cool! I liked him.
@DarkEmoE You're better off eating non-instant oatmeal. (Not the kind that comes in packets, the kind that comes in a drum.) It still has about 10% women's RDA of iron. (What all iron goes by for some weird reason. 2x for men's RDA.) You can put some sliced fruit on top of that oatmeal and it will taste delicious and be low in toxins. (Except the GMO kind. I guess we're all kind of screwed a little.)
Oxadative enzymes in the body can digest iron in its ferrous state of Fe^(2+) where it goes through a series of changes, ultimately ending up in cells. There it is used for several purposes - the chief being as a bonding site for oxygen on hemoglobin. Whereas this may look scary it is completely harmless in moderation as mister Michel Lotito would demonstrate if he still was with us.

@HippieEater The best way to know if you have too much iron is to get a blood test for it. In men iron does not naturally leave the body. Everything you eat should have less than 15% women's RDA (All iron is expressed in women's RDA for some reason. 2x for men.) Cereals almost all have 100% women's RDA of iron. (Yes. That is 200% RDA for men. And a lot of people eat multiple servings per day!)
@linagee during digestion the ferrous material is either bound to apoferritin, in which case it is discarded when cells slough off and enter the feces or to ferroportin where the iron is carried into the body in a safe manner. This is the main way of regulating iron entering the body through digestion and is very effective.

@kizune1 Yes it is bad. Those iron shavings is putting toxins in your body. That kind of iron is indigestable and is not the kind of iron your body needs. The iron your body needs comes from eating leafy greens, lean meats, fish, beans, and almonds are a few examples. Hope this helps. Have a great day!
i eat metal shavings for breakfast lunch and dinner... pop eye the sailor? eat your spinach to get iron to make you stronger? does anybody care about real science??? come on guys. we eat so we can have these nutrients, there's nothing unhealthy about it.
@wldrnsman Spinach does not have nearly as much iron as cereal. It does have lots of healthy vitamins though, which does benefit you and is the entire reason why pop eye would be strong after eating it.
For those posting negative comments @ this video: I'm amazed @ the ignorance & narrow-mindedness - all you have to do is try the experiment yourself to prove it. Reduced iron (iron filings) is inorganic and CANNOT be assimilated by your body. If you WANT to consume reduced you can get some from the very soil in your backyard using a magnet to retrieve it - good luck.
By reduced, do you mean oxidised? Oxidised iron (Fe3+) is inaccessible because it is highly insoluble, however the cells that line your gut can make available some of this using a Ferric Reductase enzyme which reduces Fe3+ into accessible Fe2+ for the gut to absorb it.
@piprod01 Assuming you you have some very good enzymes, you may be able to absorb some; but how much? And what happens to the iron fillings which you can't absorb? I don't have all the answers, but for sure, if you're concerned about getting your daily supply of iron, I would suggest not to rely on a cereal.
@cxoot I don't have all of the answers either. But the thing you are looking for is called TIBC. Total Iron Binding Capacity. It is a value that is often measured when you get a complete iron blood test. If you are a man, I would be concerned with getting a small enough amount of iron per day, not a large enough amount. (Women bleed out iron when they have their time of the month. Men don't bleed naturally.)
@piprod01 Reduced iron is iron filings - some of them may be oxidized, some not. I would assume there is no quality control to measures to control the ratio of Fe3+ to Fe2+ in your cereal, and thus who knows how much you are getting of each?
So I just tried this tfick with corn flakes and purified water.. I used a drill bit magnet it pulls the flake it has to make contact to work, and same with a magnet from a carspeaker. The flake hardly moves unless makes contact... the flake well move when contact is made.. reason why, cause the flake is now moist and can stick to the metal. I even used a butter knife and had the same effect......
@roczman The experiment you performed may not definitive in proving whether or not the corn flake has iron; however, actually extracting the iron filings from the cereal is conclusive, and you can easily perform that experiment if you care to.
Look! My great grandfather was a Doctor. In people with iron deficiency's back in the teens and twenty's they used to give folks tin tablets to suck on to increase the iron in your blood. When the ingredients say that it is fortified with iron...what did you think it meant? Your body has to have a certain amount of that mineral!
@garybch Your a little bit gullible arnt you! These cannot be assimilated by the body, hence the reason for this video. But I guess you think the food and phramacuetical companies are your friend dont you.

@TheWayandWordofLife They are small filings moron! Your body cannot assimilate this! You are so gullible, if you swollow powdered metals you hurt yourself. But hey I guess if you want to eat this and defend some criminal companies, go right ahead.

OF COUSE CEREAL HAS METAL,EVERY FUCKING CEREAL YOU BUY HAS METAL,WHICH IS IRON,IRON IS NEEDED FOR THE HUMAN BODY TO HELP PRODUCE RED BLOOD CELLS,AND IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIA,SOMETIMES TOO MUCH IRON IS BAD FOR YOUR BODY OR A HIGH DOSAGE OF IT,AMERICA IS FULL OF RETARDED PEOPLE YEESH!thats why america has bad.education system :P
Unfortunately, this ignores the scientific fact that hydrochloric acid [as found in the stomach] reacts with iron to create Fe2+ ions which ARE bioavailable; and indeed, if an iron salt was used in the cornflakes, there would be the likelihood of oxidation to Fe3+ which is poorly bioavailable and needs vitamin C to convert it back to useable iron.
But one should never let the facts get in the way of a good story...
Well in order to control population the government is killing us slowly by adding toxic shit to our foods. Yet people still buy it and consume the toxic food. It may taste good but think of your heath in the long run...
Enough of the skeptical comments: I personally performed this experiment to a small degree. I floated some Cheerios in a bowl of water and was able to pull them around the surface with a magnet. So there! Try it yourself. My Cheerios will shit tacks if I asked them to. I did not puree the Cheerios and then extract the metal, but I am sure the metal is there. While it doesn't seem to hurt you, it certainly does you no good at all. The cereal manufacturers must hate us.
A bunch of youtubers with probably no experience thinks that credible doctor is wrong. Who are you going to believe? The doctor with possibly decades of experience or a youtuber who just googled a bunch of information from the internet?
@1800simon1800 Think about what you said. You're assuming that this doctor is credible - or is even really a doctor. It's no more reliable than Wikipedia.
@Billinois78 Really? A person with literally a decade of first and secondary hand experience and knowledge or a website that ANYBODY has the ability to edit? Tell me which one is more reliable.
@1800simon1800 he may well be very correct and very reliable, but I would never fault people for being skeptical, its always a good thing to ask questions and never take things at face value. Being an expert is great but you should know that often times experts disagree with each other and end up being wrong.
@1800simon1800 My point was that we don't know that this man in the video is really a doctor. To us, he's only a man. I wasn't saying to go rely on Wikipedia.
I believe the iron is actually coming from the cereal based on the magnet pulling the flake around in the bowl of water BUT one could argue that the iron filings are coming from the added water or even the blender blades etc right?
There are also other possibilities if we don't exlcude intentional deception.
The mixer might contain the iron before the mixing.
Notice that the moved flake is actualy a pair of flakes 2:00 and some iron filling could be placed between those two flakes.
Also notice that there isn't a continuous shot, but a cut off from different cameras, so one doesn't know what, if anything, happened between the switches.
Isn't the FDA responsible for this? Is a lawsuit not pending? What if you get an MRI right after eating breakfast. Could you potentially scar your small intestines? Could this make someone with hemochromatosis, a common iron overload disease, much worse?
Reduced iron: (Chem.) metallic iron obtained through deoxidation of an oxide of iron by exposure to a current of hydrogen or other reducing agent. When hydrogen is used the product is called also iron by hydrogen.
@TalkingToTheSun Yeah but from what I know iron found in nature is not magnetic! Please correct me if I am wrong. I've never been able to move a leaf of spinach with a magnet.
@verlouria You are wrong. If one serving of this cereal (~80 grams) has 100% of your daily iron, that means it has 18 mg of iron. A serving of Spinach is 180 grams and has 6.43 mg of iron. So first off, in order to show this he had to float the cereal in water. He couldn't pick up a piece of cereal with a magnet, just influence it enough to skate on the top of water (which is almost equivalent to sliding on ice, friction-wise). Cereal has triple the iron density (per mass) that spinach does.
@verlouria And the cereal is more dense than spinach mass-per-size-wise as well, which means the iron is more concentrated. So the net effect of a magnet on cereal is greater because it A has more iron and B has more iron per unit volume. And even then it's not that great. Now, as to metallic iron being bad for you? It's not. Iron is iron, barring weird isotopes that I don't know about (Iron is also the most stable element, energy-wise).
@verlouria If you cook acidic foods in an iron pot, you end up eating part of the pot. And it's good for you. In this video all this guy did was blend up a bunch of cereal and use a magnet to physically pull most of the iron from the cereal together. It tells you nothing about the original size of the iron particles, other than that they were small. Also, to correct one thing I said earlier, the iron in spinach might be LESS magnetic than that in cereal if it's bound to other atoms, but (cont)
@verlouria the iron atoms themselves are the same as the iron atoms in iron filings. The ONLY thing you MIGHT be able to get from this video is an argument about how well iron from fortified cereals can uptake into our bodies. But you'd still have to know more about the fineness of the iron before it's collected on magnets and about how size of the iron particles affects uptake.
Enriched foods are enriched because all of the useful nutrition is refined out of it in the first place. No wonder so many people in the US are sick and obese. It's hard to cut processed and fast foods out of your diet, but it pays off in the long run. If you think this is all BS, then enjoy your wood pulp and metal filings--Bon Appetit!
Iron helps build muscle. but to much IRON fuels heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other fatal diseases. But it is in cereal. I guess we can add this to FLOURIDE and the mercury they [ the ELITES ] are making us eat.
thanks for sharing this info, I wasn't aware that this is how they are getting these things into our food, very disturbing, I'll be on the lookout from now on. We should not be injesting this type of material it builds up in the body and creates all sorts of disease.
yeah okay theres a little bit of iron in our food.....but how many of the 98,753 viewers that watched this are smokers?.....the American public is obese and eats nothing but junk food.....and for those who do eat a healthy meal here and there is it really gonna hurt to add some extra iron....after all almost "2 out of every 5 people are anemic "<-googled fact. i think the government is a bunch of shit with hiding stuff, but this wouldnt be a route they take too smart for that. so fuckin chill
@TheMth3ory Just a google search isn't gonna help with your point!! LMAO!! Do you actually think that, with the size of these filings, that this is a bio-available form of iron? The ONLY bio-available form of iron is in IONIC form, that which you get from NATURAL sources like green leafy veg or from angstrom-size iron supplements! And, yes, they definitely WOULD and ARE taking this route to make people sick and docile so we can't resist... Stop eating processed food!!
@TheMth3ory Is this supposed to make us feel better that we are eating metal in our cereal? What does one thing have to do with another? Is iron found in nature magnetic? When was the last time you moved a piece of spinach with a magnet.
wow, who cares? how many people have died from eating corn flakes? the only way these filings will affect you is having a quicker death due to stress because you worry about such pointless stuff.
@Shavard3 no, what's stupid is that people are worrying about something that clearly isn't affecting anyone. and if you google it, they are actually food grade filings that make up any iron in your food.
@AFestiveFestival How do you know that it is not affecting anyone. Firstly, the effects of this make take many years to arise and then when someone gets sick, do you think they are going to know that ooh, it must be thew iron fillings in the cereal i ate thirty years ago.
And secondly, are you saying that iron fillings in your food is natural and normal.
@AFestiveFestival do you realize they are finding stress and anxiety related more and more to actual brain damage due to autoimmune diseases? no one can link specifically that smoking causes lung cancer, but we are all pretty much in agreement it does. So, yeah no one can say the cereal didn't kill him, he died from colon cancer, but what were the chain of events that lead to the cancer. So, please stop with the uneducated comments.
How about getting a bunch of spinach, and puree it, then see if metal filings appear? Spinach is known to have non-heme elemental iron in it. If someone can do the test, I would be more likely to eat some Iron Fortified cereal again.
I could believe this guy but he could've just had metal filling in the water he was pouring all over the cereal. Don't hold me to it though, just a thought.
What about the iron ingested from using an iron pan? There are numerous studies showing iron absorption in this manner is beneficial. Using a metal spatula, wouldn't iron shavings occur this way too?
@TheoryIsSpeculation Whilst your at it can you go and ask those doctors whether they think that if you have an MRI scan after eating some cereal whether it will rip our intestines apart?....thanks!.
Anyway, unless something is different in the US, in the UK its powdered which I understand is easily digestible by the human body without causing any sort of harm.
@TheoryIsSpeculation Completely off subject, I can see you clearly don't know where to focus your attention! there is simply too many atrocities going on! better make some more opinionated bullshit comments on some other videos so everyone knows how you feel about it!. Yawn!, I have seen that video and I am well aware of what the US has done to farming practices worldwide, greed for meat has pushed these unethical practices, we all have a choice, we are not being forced anything.
@TheoryIsSpeculation Unfortunately like a normal person I didn't spend months creating a library of documents and write thesis on this subject. I made an informed enough decision and I dont need to prove myself. As I said before, I recommend people who are concerned to look into this themselves and make their own decision, find information from reputable sources and not some bullshit youtube video.
@TheoryIsSpeculation there is a whopping amount of bullshit on the internet you can use to support any crackpot theories, live in the real world fool! people are not dropping dead from eating boxed cereals, there is no evidence I have found which is believable!.
@TheoryIsSpeculation I did research, and I read from and heard from qualified doctors. I even learnt when I was 11 years old in bloody secondary school!. I gather I hit a nerve right there!. I don't subscribe to scaremongering tactics like this video and many others which serve only to spark fear in those who maybe don't know better.
@TheoryIsSpeculation Don't even start moron, whatever they put in pancakes is obviously safe unless you eat them constantly so don't eat a McDonalds!!!. Everything in moderation, the whole point to the metal powders in cereal is that they are part of a healthy diet, you don't eat the whole damn bag!, and even if you did, they are a powder! not filings! its just the magnet which makes it look that way!. There are no conspiracies, the big corporate machines are not trying to kill us!, get a life!
@TheoryIsSpeculation "Speak for yourself, I haven't had a cold since the early 50's. For a virus I use colloidal silver. Kills every virus known to man."
Neat, doesn't change the fact you were point blank wrong, the "antibiotic" properties of garlic will do nothing at all against a cold, tho it could potentially help against secondary infections.
@TheoryIsSpeculation "Do not put the garlic right next to your skin it will burn. FYI this is a great way to get rid of a cold. Garlic has 10 times the antibacteria that penicilin has."
Pretending that garlic is really "10 times" the antibiotic that penicillin is, I'm at a loss as to what benefit you think this would provide against the common cold, which is caused by a virus. Were it as simple as taking antibiotics to cure it, do you really think we would suffer them as long as we do?
Hey there, I know this has probably been brought up before, but doesn't metallic iron react with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach to create digestible FeCl?
@TheoryIsSpeculation And he died of mercury poisoning? You know that 90% of "taste" is actually an olfactory sensation, so if you have sliced up a bunch of garlic and you're sitting in the same room as the garlic you will inevitably begin to "taste" the garlic even though what you're tasting is actually your sense of smell.
@TheoryIsSpeculation Oil on your skin does not repel water. The waterproof nature of the epidermis is achieved through cellular bonds known as "tight junctions" and "desmosomes" which create a fluid-impermeable boundary. You cannot, repeat: CANNOT absorb compounds through the skin in any measurable quantity.
@MegaBonerjams03 You are right, but in all your comments you come across as incredible arrogant, that doesn't help your credibility at all. If you keep discussing like this, people are just gonna label you as a immature asshole, which I don't think you are. I see that you may be angered by some of the stupidity in here, but as I said, your attitude doesn't help on educating any of them.
I have just validated this in Australia with Kellogs fruity loops ! Same magnetic effect! I am unsure if it is the water or the cereal ! However, I did try with another brand and didn't have the same effect! Scum bags !

Unfortunately, this ignores the scientific fact that hydrochloric acid [as found in the stomach] reacts with iron to create Fe2+ ions which ARE bioavailable; and indeed, if an iron salt was used in the cornflakes, there would be the likelihood of oxidation to Fe3+ which is poorly bioavailable and needs vitamin C to convert it back to useable iron.
But one should never let the facts get in the way of a good story...

Enough of the skeptical comments: I personally performed this experiment to a small degree. I floated some Cheerios in a bowl of water and was able to pull them around the surface with a magnet. So there! Try it yourself. My Cheerios will shit tacks if I asked them to. I did not puree the Cheerios and then extract the metal, but I am sure the metal is there. While it doesn't seem to hurt you, it certainly does you no good at all. The cereal manufacturers must hate us.

I believe the iron is actually coming from the cereal based on the magnet pulling the flake around in the bowl of water BUT one could argue that the iron filings are coming from the added water or even the blender blades etc right?
frohoss 3 months ago
@frohoss Exactly.
There are also other possibilities if we don't exlcude intentional deception.
The mixer might contain the iron before the mixing.
Notice that the moved flake is actualy a pair of flakes 2:00 and some iron filling could be placed between those two flakes.
Also notice that there isn't a continuous shot, but a cut off from different cameras, so one doesn't know what, if anything, happened between the switches.

verlouria 2 months ago
@verlouria You are wrong. If one serving of this cereal (~80 grams) has 100% of your daily iron, that means it has 18 mg of iron. A serving of Spinach is 180 grams and has 6.43 mg of iron. So first off, in order to show this he had to float the cereal in water. He couldn't pick up a piece of cereal with a magnet, just influence it enough to skate on the top of water (which is almost equivalent to sliding on ice, friction-wise). Cereal has triple the iron density (per mass) that spinach does.
FatCat1999 2 months ago
@verlouria And the cereal is more dense than spinach mass-per-size-wise as well, which means the iron is more concentrated. So the net effect of a magnet on cereal is greater because it A has more iron and B has more iron per unit volume. And even then it's not that great. Now, as to metallic iron being bad for you? It's not. Iron is iron, barring weird isotopes that I don't know about (Iron is also the most stable element, energy-wise).
FatCat1999 2 months ago
@verlouria If you cook acidic foods in an iron pot, you end up eating part of the pot. And it's good for you. In this video all this guy did was blend up a bunch of cereal and use a magnet to physically pull most of the iron from the cereal together. It tells you nothing about the original size of the iron particles, other than that they were small. Also, to correct one thing I said earlier, the iron in spinach might be LESS magnetic than that in cereal if it's bound to other atoms, but (cont)
FatCat1999 2 months ago
@verlouria the iron atoms themselves are the same as the iron atoms in iron filings. The ONLY thing you MIGHT be able to get from this video is an argument about how well iron from fortified cereals can uptake into our bodies. But you'd still have to know more about the fineness of the iron before it's collected on magnets and about how size of the iron particles affects uptake.

Enriched foods are enriched because all of the useful nutrition is refined out of it in the first place. No wonder so many people in the US are sick and obese.

And secondly, are you saying that iron fillings in your food is natural and normal.

How about getting a bunch of spinach, and puree it, then see if metal filings appear? Spinach is known to have non-heme elemental iron in it. If someone can do the test, I would be more likely to eat some Iron Fortified cereal again.

@TheoryIsSpeculation Oil on your skin does not repel water.
