Magnetic Cornflakes

After watching the video link below, I just had to prove this right or wrong....
You might want to see this to believe it.

The above clip discusses metallic filings in your "enriched" cereal, not the bio-available iron which consumers would expect. Is this the best way to meet our daily iron requirements?

U.S. PATENT # 7407526 Food additive

The invention concerns an iron powder for fortifying foodstuff. The powder consists of a reduced iron powder having irregularly shaped particles

Perhaps instead of eating enriched cereals, we should donate them to grade schools for science class experiments.

It says it contain Iron on the box, why is this supposed to be a scandal. Isn't iron attracted to magnets?

@Mickoes

It is iron metal fillings...  /watch?v=5ahlawrQHeA

This is what inspired me.

People should be aware of what they eat

Here in arab countries we tend to buy food from the US or europ

We can see that although USA is the leading country of ISO and standards

It seems that it had set all those standards for others to follow

While it does'nt follow because healthy food is expensive and it tends to make money no matter how it effects people or kids

@aquasoul72 USA as well as Canada follow the "CORPORATION'S" guidelines, and believe me, it's NOT in our best interest. There is no such thing as healthy food here - if it's been government regulated. They don't allow us to know what is genetically modified, irradiated or contains MSG / Aspartame (they call it by other names to confuse the public). Meat and dairy is tax payer subsidized and full of pus, antibiotics, natural and artificial hormones and people wonder why they are so sick.

jesus, you people are crazy. watch this video, maybe you'll realize something.

google "the danger of science denial"

Do I think everything that's put into our foods such as cereal is good for us? No, I don't. Do I think that "they" are poisoning or water/food/air supply like some crazy conspiracy? No. Contamination/pollution of our air/water/food is from population growth and technological progress.

Bullshit, you're NOT supposed to insert the magnet in the water since at that point you're using superficial tension as the force keeping the flakes linked to the object inserted. To check this, try with a nonmagnetic object, like a ballpen, or a toothpick.

This is no joke! I just did this with a quaker oatmeal square and a small neodymium magnet. The square charged towards the magnet and stopped right under it. Then I ate a few because they are delicious!!

This is called "cohesion" and is not a magnetic property. The water molecules are attracted to any solid surface, taking the cornflakes with them. Put a drop of dishwashing liquid in the water (or milk) and the cohesion effect will cease. There is not enough dietary iron in cornflakes to make them magnetic.

Cohesion is also the effect that allows a container to be filled over the rim. A drop of soap will break the cohesion, or surface tension spilling the liquid out of the container.

learned there was iron in cereal in 5th grade. Been eating it eversince and im a healthy 16 year old.

[EKUWAIT]

Those ppl whom saying its faked because they tried other materials! And the got same result as its shown!

Guys,, why dont u upload ur vides? And let us see.

Anyway i dont eat such flake food.. I prefer to eat what i cook for my self "advice"

iron is good for you. I think they were sticking from surface tension of the water I've done the same with my finger and I don't think my finger is magnetic.

if you want to talk about some sick shit that i've seen done. The fda mandates that all meat is injected with ammonia
