It's not Trisodium Phosphate--it's Tripotassium Phosphate--used in foods.

They're not kidding about the cholesterol lowering properties either--my cholesterol has been reduced by nearly 40 points since I've been a Cheerios devotee.

If it kills me, I'll never eat it again!

Oatmeal will do the same thing.

So they say--but I never had the same results with oatmeal--go figure! And, oatmeal and hot weather--not perfect together!

The flour used to make them.is GMO, as is the sugar, oil.

You can get the same product organic, non GMO, and the rest of the ingredients a kid would understand.

The regular Cheerios are now made with non-GMO flour...but the fancy flavored ones are.

They are made about 3 miles away from my house...on a windy day, the whole city smells like Cheerios!

Good,now I can stop cleaning my walls. To dangerous. I will eat my Cheerios however.

terrier--that's so funny! I grew up a hop, skip and a jump away from Nabisco--there was always a faint whiff of cookies in the air! (Sigh!)

I have been on a roller coaster with food issues my entire life, and have long accepted that my system's chemical makeup is different. The healthier a food is, the more problems I will have with it, but I honestly think I could lick water from a puddle in a parking lot and be fine. At this point in my life, I just eat whatever I can tolerate. I am so past reading labels or listening to what "they" say about nutrition guidelines, etc.; I just eat what works for me.

I agree with you.

Midnight, perhaps you should edit your orignal post to correct the erroneous information contained in it. People sometimes only read the original post and not the entire thread, which is the case here, and take what you said as correct. This is evident from some of the later post.

I checked this out when I realized TSP was on the ingrediant list, it seems all General Mills cereals have this stuff in them.

We wash our walls down with TSP before we paint.

Actually, athletes take this as a nutritional supplement because it helps reduce lactic acid buildup in the muscles during heavy exercise- Ironically, TSP is not sold any more as a degreaser, cleaner (it may still e CALLED TSP, but it no longer contains it)

Love my Cheerios!

I'll panic over something , but not this.

[stilltamn8r]

TSP is not considered toxic to the human body... Whiskey, on the other hand...IS!

I think it is sad that so many chemicals are put into our food so it can look more appetizing and survive long term on store and pantry selves....but we do have a choice..that choice is to not eat processed food....getting more and more difficult but if you shop the perameter of your grocery store and avoid anything in the aisles you can pretty much eliminate processed out of your diet.....and everyone else who doesn't mind putting chemicals into their bodies can continue to do so.....kind of like russian roulette...you never know if you're the one who will get the bullet...same for cancer causing agents...not everyone exposed to it developes it.

You cant even put a loaf of bread out to get stale for dressing at T Day any more as the stuff will not get stale. Thats pretty gross.

Maybe after a few weeks it might but you use to could put it out a day or 2 in advance and have it good and stale to make your dressing. Now you have to buy the bags of dry cut up bread pieces.
