Are cheerios actually good for your heart?
theres a lot of bad stuff in there too
such as: preservatives, etc.
what do you guys think?

Cheerios are good for your heart, but yes they have preservatives.

Heart to Heart by Kashi is better.

That was a very descriptive post Helena... I wouldn't say that Cheerios are good for your heart because of the obvious things found in Cheerios, but compared to other cereals on the market, yeah, they are good. But I don't think it can beat something like Raisin Bran or Heart to Heart.

I have seen diabetic effects from Cheerios: rises in blood sugar, exagerration of small LDL, drops in HDL, rises in triglycerides. Yes, it may reduce LDL a small quantity, but so what?
