Metal Filings in your Cereal

[GODDESSSful]

RAW FOOD ORGANIC CANCER FREE 70% OF UR FOOD MUST BE RASW,MAKE NEW BODY EVERY 7 YRS!

[erthemama]

I wonder if this is the kind of iron the put in baby formula as well???

[floydsgarage]

@erthemama iron promotes bacteria in the gut and should be avoided in infant formula. One of the reasons babies will spit up all the time. Iron content in breast milk is very low. It's there for pure market greed.

[clubpenguin580]

instead of eating nasty adult cereal,why cant we jut bite off a piece of our fridge? I bet it would taste better!

[pcchip3]

Iron is Iron. Your body needs it.

[givebirthathome]

@demonpreyer I had the same thought about this presentation that you made in your comment, plus a few more like the fact that this demonstration doesn't prove that the filings weren't in the water, or all cereal; however what is this nonsense about "progressive liberals are constantly creating hysteria because thy lack the basic fundamentals of science and chemistry"? Many of my friends are working scientists, engineers or doctors, and they are progressive liberals.

[beckweth]

An FDA approved cereal.

[demonpreyer]

"May represent a toxic form of iron." This is not a toxic form of iron. Progressive liberals are constantly creating hysteria because they lack the basic fundamentals of science and chemistry. Of course it's not bio-available when it's in the container/box. The addition of iron filings to food is a common method of iron enrichment. The iron filings are not bio-available until they reach the stomach where they are oxidized to Fe3+. The oxidized form of Fe3+ is easily absorbed. Grow up!

[allthings509]

@demonpreyer Iron is not easily or fully absorbed, it depends on several factors. Supplementing with iron should only be prescribed by a doctor.Taking iron supplements when they are not needed can actually cause some adverse side effects, such as constipation and stomach upset. More seriously, excess iron levels have also been linked to such diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and increased risk of infection.

[demonpreyer]

@allthings509 I agree with you that iron is not easily or fully absorbed. I disagree that iron should only be prescribed by a doctor. If we're going to go down that route, then all vitamins and minerals need to be prescribed by a doctor, because all of them have adverse side effects when abused. Seriously, what next? Food needs to be prescribed by a doctor? When you do something like eating food, taking vits and mins, do everything in moderation. Works for me, I have no problems.

[allthings509]

@demonpreyer Iron supplementing is dangerous and toxic, the alternative is to get it by including foods naturally high in iron, if you are tested low in iron. Any kind of synthesised vitamin or other supplement will disrupt other processes in your body, it is best to choose whole foods blanced diet if you believe you are low on vitamin/minerals. Why do you think you need iron? have been tested?

[demonpreyer]

@allthings509 I've been eating iron fortified cereals for years with no problems. I had a blood test 7 months ago and my iron levels were normal. (Iron 143 µg/dL, IBC 384 µg/dL) I've been ingesting multivitamins with iron everyday for years and guess what? No problems. I had a physical examination 3 months ago and guess what? No problems. So I have no idea what you're commenting about. So I respectfully disagree with the notion that iron supplementing is dangerous and toxic.

[biitersweettt]

@demonpreyer have you heard about ppl going to the doctor, testing for cancers every year and when they are 50, 55 years old hear from their doctor they are going to die because they didn't find their cancer earlier on? Doctors do not (always) test what they should be testing.. you may be fine now, but what's going to happen when all that toxic iron in your body keeps increasing till you have some horrible disease? Just think about that..

[STINISME]

Special K and cornflakes of kellogg's are forbidden in Denmark !

[givebirthathome]

@STINISME Really? For this reason, or because they use GMO or why?

[TonyCeylan]

just had a ironburger

[mayalibre]

I remember reading awhile back (I don't remember where, sorry), that while iron is good for women, it's not good for men. Something to do with their sexual organs or sperm counts.... It's a reason that cooking in regular cast iron isn't recommended for men. This video makes me wonder if, even above the argument about "bioavailability", whether this kind of supplementation is having an effect on human males as a whole. Note increased Viagra sales, infertility, etc.

[thegamefanman]

genius!

[givebirthathome]

@mayalibre Iron can be good for men, if they've lost blood. Otherwise, too much iron in the diet can lead to excessive iron in the body, which is not good for either men or women, for the same reasons.

The reason iron is generally good for women, is that about half of women are iron deficient, due to monthly blood loss.

[animateclay]

I always wondered why my nose points north every time I eat a bowl of cheerios.

[thegamefanman]

mine points south; am i broken?

[invista360]

Google:

CDC iron loading and disease surveillance.

All that iron fortified bread and cereal is slowing killing people. People are being poisened and think that their fortified cereals/breads are healthy. This is not the proper way to acquire iron. It is bioavailable from the plant and you cannot overload on it from plant source because your body will cleave off only what it needs. Fortified iron (ground up steal) overloads the body's iron witholding mechanism.

Re: basszack sent you a video: "Metal Filings in your Cereal"

oh yes! My buddies old man works at a General Mills grain elevator here in Dtown! You should see all the rats down there! they have to duct tape the cuffs of their pants tight so they don't crawl up a leg. Ever wonder what the dark specs in a cheerio is? lol

[qualqui]

wow,....when i worked in a cereal factory they had small bags of a gray dust, and the supervisor told us it was iron to add to the corn flakes,.....i thought it was something natural,....now i know better! =P

[fullpana]

so all Magneto had to do to get out of his plastic prison was eat some Kellogs cereal?

[watchthemoviefitna]

@fullpana lololol

[palnetX]

toe nails are a good source of Silica- ..........

[peevedgrl]

Looks like a few of you don't get the point of this video..... This is no different then when the Chinese manufactures were caught putting melamine in the Dairy products that killed so many children... AmericaHowAreYa nice comment, real intelligent, pleez keep eating manufactured foods with lots of preservatives..

[Elmeromero1]

Remember: Longer shelf life, SHORTER human life.

My grandfather used to tell me this when I was younger....and he was DAMN right about it!

[AmericaHowAreYa]

this is so goddamn stupid

[Karlfalcon]

So out of an entire box of cereal you have how many MILLIGRAMS of fine iron powder? Most of which will not even get a chance to be absorbed into your body. Do you know how much crap you ingest even if you only eat home-grown organics?

This is only dangerous if you're downing several boxes of this stuff a day. At most you should be going through one a week.

Videos like this only let the conspiracy freaks marinade in their own paranoia and ignorance.

[grazperrelli]

So, because there's a small amount of iron shavings in cereal, this is no cause for concern? You make a great slave.

[Karlfalcon]

Your tinfoil hat is slipping.

[Elmeromero1]

Some people will still not believe even when the evidence is staring at them in the face.....just like in Rome, just like in Greece, just like in Germany...

[Karlfalcon]

Tinfoil, meet head.

[Elmeromero1]

tinfoil these fucker...i dare ya

[Karlfalcon]

What? Sorry, I don't speak crazy.

[Karlfalcon]

And the paragon of personal health, thank you very much.

[shadetree6981]

let them slowly die! Ignorance will not be tolerated anymore!

[shadetree6981]

And you make a great sheep!

[KattenJonsson]

That's sick..

[Elmeromero1]

Monsanto is stamped all over this damn cereal-killer, mind the pun.

[reksub10]

thumbs up for the pun that was quite good

[Whatrebel]

That's horrible.

They put a whole lot of other toxins in our food too. That's what's responsible for most diseases. Also, for peoples inability to use our minds well. Tht makes us nieve to it all. It's also responsible for the climbing obesity rate. I say just eat organic, if we all pitch in to make a change, the smaller organic companies will maintain a stronger foothold so the prices will come down hopefully.

[TheResistanceisNow]

If i ever buy anything like this , that company will be out of business and bankrupt on charges for attempted murder.

[Elephantintheroom01]

This cannot be healthy!

[WeCanAllGetAllong]

Because eating heavy metals is not good for you! Or maybe thats why they are in there...... Ever see the georgia guide stones,or heard of eugenics....

Maybe you could read 1984 and that will give you somewhat of a view!

Hey check out some food in your area here...farm to consumer (dot) org

[Karlfalcon]

And, why is this dangerous?

[OutdoorsBlackMan]

I don't know, but if you want to eat it go ahead.

I am going to grow corn and oats to make my own cereal. For free too!

[Elmeromero1]

You can not be serious.

[rafayorke]

The iron in the cereal is pure iron! Really! It is the same iron found in nails and automobiles. It is mixed in the cereal batter along with many other additives. The very tiny particles of iron quickly react with hydrochloric acid and other chemicals in the digestive tract, changing to a form easily absorbed by the body.

[ibarem]

EXACTLY, they react with the HCl in our bodies to form Iron Chloride which contains Fe2+ ions that can be absorbed into the blood

[scubajon88]

i remember doing these exact experiments in 1st grade! like 15 yrs ago.

the results were the same.

[jcrules54733]

Yes, I knew it, too, but I still find it astounding what these madmen are doing to our food, water, milk, seeds, along with toxic medications, and vaccinations. I just don't think this is strickly in the name of profit, anymore. I think it's intentional "backdoor" genocide. At any rate, I'd like to know what these iron filings do to the body. How about telling us what the effects are, Dr. Levey (sp)?

[firstplacekyle]

he lost all credibility when he failed to read the box. iron is a necessary nutrient, and the box tells you the cereal is supplemented with iron. This guy totally missed the boat, in that the cereal company is doing you a favor. do you want to know what iron does to your body? it allow your blood to transport oxygen, so that you don't die.

[jcrules54733]

You can't be serious!!! These are iron hard SHAVINGS. It's impossible for the body to utilize iron shavings in it's raw form. Ummm, I think it's you that just lost the credibility.

[firstplacekyle]

you are wrong. do research

[KnowledgeIsPower11]

you are an IMBECIL! starting with all careal in USA IS GMO! genetically manufactured...this is all bullshit its like the FLUORIDE in tap water.."GOOD FOR YOUI" or the ENRICHED BLEACHED WHITE RICE! please man.. wake the fuk up!!

[firstplacekyle]

You still haven't provided any research. The claim is being made that this is some sort of conspiracy. The burden of proof is on you.

[KnowledgeIsPower11]

with 58% of the nation FAT and 20% OBESE i think the conspiracy sucker is you my friend basically sucking up all the bullshit the goverment has given you in their perfect little System created to trad tards like yourself... why would i waste my time with sheep?? sheep enjoy getting slapped and whipped... life will teach you and hopefully you wont get TOO SICK basically KILLING YOURSELF due to IGNORANCE and Blindness!

[firstplacekyle]

Oh hey, good grammar and cognitive sentences are government conspiracies as well. What kind of iron do you think your body needs?

[GaGirlie777]

Yeah I agree.

Now check out HR 875,for they are trying to make illegal organic gardening including one in your own backyard.

[firstplacekyle]

I do agree that that bill is trash.

[Rotflesss]

i knew that
