Can help lower cholesterol

Heart surgery is expensive. People it bad food and are overweight. So doctors try to do everything to lower anybody's cholesterol. They handle it as top priority.

On the other hand food manufacturers are also trying to get to you. Radio and TV ads are full with the sentence "can help lower cholesterol". I agree that the ingredients in that particular meal can help because they have omega-3 fat-acid or something like that, but let's face it: your morning cereal will help lowering your cholesterol. Or even bread with jam. Because you are not eating the typical bacon, egg, cheese breakfast combo, like this one:

Which is extremely delicious!! Compare this to oatmeal with raisins :D Sweet bagel toasted with butter on the grill, omelet, fatty cheddar cheese, bacon (!!!!) It is hard to switch to cereal from this.

And these catchy phrases in the ads... Well you always have to think through what they mean. Yepp, produced something we call cereal helps lowering your cholesterol, because you're unlikely eat it with bacon and egg. It is like no added growth hormones in the milk. Who'd pour growth hormone in anybody's milk?! The cow needs it ;) So whatever milk you have, it has growth hormones, the bottle says no added growth hormone and not "now growth hormone at all"! 

The same what happened to the word "free" a decade ago. If it is written with all capital letters like FREE it doesn't mean free at all ;)

Learn your lesson America!
