Don't know about you, but I believe everything I read on cereal boxes.
That's why I was shocked -- shocked! -- to read that my beloved Cheerios is making claims it can't back up. Specifically, it claims that eating the round ball o' whole grain can lower cholesterol by four percent in six weeks.
The Food and Drug Administration sent General Mills, Cheerios' maker, a warning letter this week, saying only a drug can make that claim. And Cheerios ain't no drug. Or, at least, it's an "unapproved drug," as the letter states.
Read the letter here.
