A Perfect Cereal
Cheerios contain oats, which contain soluble fiber, useful in absorbing some of the bad cholesterol that builds up in people's arteries and makes them candidates for heart disease.

Cheerios bind some of the cholesterol in the digestive tract and remove it in body waste. There is more fiber in oats than in whole wheat, corn, or rice. Cheerios are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

What else do I like about Cheerios? They are neat little bites suitable to feed toddlers. Babies are less like to be allergic to oats than to wheat; therefore it may be safer to try oats first in a baby's diet. They taste delicious, and they come in an attractive box. They can be used in party mix. A bowl of Cheerios with a banana is the perfect supper for us after we have eaten a large lunch.

I have one negative queston. How are Cheerios better than less expensive brands of toasted oats?

My old standby!
I've been eating Cheerios since I was a kid. And enjoying this cereal! Who would have guessed that many years later, this nice tasting oat cereal would be deemed as actually good for you!

Since I tend to have a high cholesterol level, anything that helps out--even just a tad--is welcome. I still have not been put on any drugs to address the cholesterol issue, and I'd like to keep it that way. So turning to my old standby, Cheerios, has new relevance today for me.

If the nutritional data on the package are correct, then Cheerios is a good source of a number of nutrients, such as potassium, iron, folic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, Vitamins B6 and B12, and zinc (all with 25% or more of the daily values). It also has a decent level of fiber.

So, I feel pretty good about continuing to eat this standby of many decades. A nice way to start the day!
