Re: Kelloggs - drop the BHT from your cereal
These cereals are so unhealthy to begin with I don't know why people would be concerned about the BHT in particular. Obviously people are choosing them for convenience, not for their health benefits. Plenty of far better (and cheaper) alternatives. If people really want the manufacturer to change, just stop buying the boxed cereal, and they will change.

Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

I watched the video, then did what you tell people to do... I did some more research on the web so I could make up my own mind.
Not surprisingly, FoodBabe glosses over the facts in the above video. BHT has been proven safe at levels we normally eat. The animals in the studies showed adverse side effects, but only when given levels of BHT that no human could ever consume from regular food (including cereal).
There are actually studies that show at the levels humans consume, BHT may actually be ANTI-carcinogenic... meaning it prevents cancer.
Just another fearmongering video that twists facts to help their own agenda. Next up I'm expecting a video explaining the dangers of water... if you drink enough of it, it dilutes your body's electrolytes and you die. But drinking it in quantities a normal person would drink and it's perfectly safe.

That's funny. I used to say "If the bacteria and mold can't live on it, neither can people".(generally said of wonder bread or any other food that won't decompose)

Just simply not true. If the bread (or whatever) dries out fast enough, you don't get mold growth. So thinly sliced bread will not mold as much as thick sliced bread, regardless of the bread.
