I mean, that's barely anything. I love cheerios, and I think they are a great snack and breakfast (especially for kids), but come on! I wouldn't ever suggest them for the reduction of cholesterol.Gina; The Candid RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034788087113648183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947322588134552882.post-41057953862720890712009-05-13T16:18:00.000-07:002009-05-13T16:18:00.000-07:00thx for sharingthx for sharingRenus Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936382505527454148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947322588134552882.post-35247500820447823492009-05-13T15:57:00.000-07:002009-05-13T15:57:00.000-07:00I grew up on Cheerios and I still enjoy them.
