Cheerios Gets Bad Wrap From FDA
I believe Cheerios is getting a bad wrap because General Mills isn't the only company that makes claims that their product reduces cholesterol.

The FDA says in a warning letter to General Mills that language on the Cheerios box suggests the cereal is designed to prevent or treat heart disease. The language says “may” prevent heart disease just like so many other manufacturers claim their products have some health benefit.

Regulators say that only FDA-approved drugs are allowed to make such claims. General Mills are not promoting their product as a drug. And neither are the others. Why single out General Mills?

For example, soy product manufacturers claim that soy protein and soy isoflavones lowers cholesterol, relieves menopausal symptoms, may reduce the risk of cancer, and is a healthy substitute. Why doesn't the FDA go after the soy industry for their false claims?

The AHA retracted their endorsement of soy products because based on their own studies, cholesterol levels were not significant enough to warrant that claim.

On October 26, 1999, the FDA authorized the use of health claims about the role of soy protein in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) on labeling of foods containing soy protein. This final rule is based on the FDA's conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels.

They stated foods that may be eligible for the health claim include soy beverages, tofu, tempeh, soy-based meat alternatives, and possibly some baked goods. Foods that carry the claim must also meet the requirements for low fat, low saturated fat, and low cholesterol content except the foods made with the whole soybean may also qualify for the health claim if they contain no fat in addition to that present in the whole soybean.

The Western version of soy has toxins that are detrimental to your health. Why is that allowed?

In 2006, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported on a study of 55 patients with high cholesterol who, over the course of a year, started eating a diet rich in soy proteins, fiber and almonds. All those foods may have cholesterol-lowering properties. Really?

Due to my soy allergy, Cheerios is the only cereal I can eat with confidence because it does not contain soybean oil, and synthetic vitamin E.

I want the FDA to be more vigilant when it comes to our exported food, and leave General Mills alone for a product that isn’t killing anyone!

We are all aware of the serious problems we have had from tainted food, to lead poisoning in toys.

I would love to hear your views. Please comment here.

Why Removing Soy From Your Diet Helps Your Thyroid

Even though there are claims that suggest modest amounts of soy are safe, do you know how much soy you're getting? I believe you'll be surprised when you start reading the food labels. You're getting more than you think. It's hidden in so many products and when you add soy protein drinks and bars you are consuming too much. Here are some of the very serious issues that people have been raising for years. Research is just scratching the surface about whether the dangers are real or not.

Promoters of soy products such as soy protein isolate, or phyto-estrogens extracted from soy, usually fail to mention that soy products are goitrogenic to humans. That means they depress thyroid function. Certain substances found in the soybean inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis, leading to goiter and other adverse changes in the thyroid gland. Low thyroid function is associated with a host of debilitating diseases including cancer, heart disease, fatigue, osteoporosis, and a difficult menopause.

So, if you are taking soy for your menopause, it is depressing your thyroid and it may cause you to have a more difficult menopause. Try eating whole nutrient dense foods including animal fats, but avoid processed commercial foods. Isoflavones can inhibit thyroid peroxidase (TPO), an enzyme involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. As their name implies, some research suggests that goitrogens can cause an enlarged thyroid, known as a goiter, by increasing the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone. People can get goiters and other thyroid problems from either an iodine deficiency or in some cases from iodine excess. Iodine is important in other areas of metabolic regulation.

We all are aware of Oprah's hypothyroidism. Did you know that Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause, has been Oprah's consultant, and is a big promoter of soy? Did you know she has hypothyroidism? What a coincidence! If you are menopausal and gaining weight, did it ever occur to you that you could be developing a thyroid problem? It is my belief that if Oprah removed soy from her diet and ate more whole foods and less processed foods she would lose the weight. So why not give it a shot? She has tried everything else without success.

Dianne Gregg, author of "The Hidden Dangers of Soy" decided to write this book after developing a severe allergy to soy. She has done extensive research on this subject and wanted to share this crucial information to protect your health. The fact of the matter is that soy is not the "health food" it's cracked up to be. She has appeared on numerous radio shows and seen on TV CBS4. Listen to radio show Tuesdays, 4pm - 5pm EST http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Health-Watch-Radio She interviews experts in the health and wellness industry.
