Is Kellogg’s Cereal a Serial Killer? Too Woke to Prosecute?

A new study shows that Kellogg’s Trix Loaded is loaded all right. Loaded with heavy metals and other agrochemicals.

• Levels of toxic heavy metals arsenic and cadmium present in two samples of Loaded Trix flavor were 200-400% higher than EPA allowable levels in drinking water.
• Aluminum levels were as high as 3500 ppb, making Trix Loaded cereal a toxic way to start the day according to EU standards, if eaten daily. Aluminum levels were 1,365% and 1,650% higher than the EPA maximum allowable level in drinking water
• Glyphosate levels were 15.83 and 17.47 ppb, 158-174X times higher than has been shown to cause sex hormone changes and organ damage in animal studies when they consumed .1 ppb of glyphosate herbicide.
• Trace levels or higher of 8 pesticides were detected, including Fluopyram-1 a fungicide that has been shown to cause endocrine disruption in humans and wildlife at low levels.
• Piperonyl butoxide – an ingredient used in shampoo to facilitate the killing of lice was detected in Loaded cereal.

Moms Across America director Zen Honeycutt states:

“These test results show it is high time that cereal manufacturers such as General Mills make better choices in sourcing cleaner ingredients. These toxins, present in cereal marketed to parents and children, as containing vitamins (implying a healthy choice) are unconscionable and obviously highly unhealthy. What we need is cereal loaded with nutrition and free from toxins.”

Heavy metals are widely acknowledged by physicians and regulatory agencies to induce neurotoxicity (potentially causing damage) developmental delays, inability to function, and cancer. People affected by heavy metals often suffer permanent disabilities often leaving them unable to take care of themselves.

Studies now show that one in six children suffer from learning disabilities.  That is much higher than it was just ten years ago. Is processed foods causing the rise in learning disabilities? It certainly looks like it could be the culprit. Heavy metals affect the brain accutely.

Currently, Moms Across America supporters are reporting extremely concerning levels of autism and developmental delays. “In my preschool class of 13 children, 12 are on the autism spectrum,” shared one concerned teacher. She described how, after eating highly processed foods, she saw notable differences in the children’s behavior, turning erratic, emotionally uncontrollable, and aggressive. Teaching children to learn has become an insurmountable task for most teachers.

Moms Across America is committed to get to the source of the altered behavior and inability to learn, to protect our community’s children and support a prosperous future for our country and world superpower. Food containing neurotoxins and carcinogens are counterproductive to supporting a prosperous future.

While marketed to contain important vitamins, Trix LOADED cereal comes with additional risks that are not on the label and are not, in Moms Across America’s opinion, worth the risk. We feel it is crucial that the general public is aware of these risks. Parents must be able to make a choice based on the reality of the ingredients, and manufacturers must be responsible for the safety of their products. Regulatory agencies must hold the manufacturers responsible for confirmed toxic ingredient load.

So what are the regulatory agencies saying about consumption of heavy metals?

The United States does not consistently regulate the presence of heavy metals in food. Nor do they assess accumulation and long-term toxic effects on children. The EPA does have regulations for heavy metals levels in water, and the levels found in cereals exceed the allowable levels in water by 17 – 400%.

EPA limits for heavy metals in water

• Aluminum levels were 1,365% and 1,650% higher than the EPA maximum allowable level in drinking water.
• Arsenic levels detected were 200% higher than EPA allowable levels in water.
• Cadmium levels detected were 400% higher than EPA allowable levels in water.
