Good News from Cheerios®
You know that eating breakfast provides energy you need to feel and do your best. But did you know that what you eat at breakfast can help you control your body's cholesterol level too? It's true. Eating Cheerios each day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can help lower your cholesterol, and that could help reduce your risk of heart disease.
Cheerios — A Heart Healthy Breakfast
Cheerios offers good news for your heart! The heart-healthy benefits of a Cheerios breakfast last the whole day. When people eat cereal, like Cheerios, frequently for breakfast, research shows they eat less fat and cholesterol the rest of the day than when they eat other types of breakfasts. Not surprisingly, the intake of several essential vitamins and minerals is higher on cereal days, as well.

Cheerios — Clinically Proven to Lower Blood Cholesterol
Three grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can help lower cholesterol, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease. But only certain breakfast cereals, such as Cheerios, provide the benefits of heart-healthy soluble fiber from whole grain oats. Cheerios has 1 gram of soluble fiber per cup.
The important thing to know is that Cheerios is the only leading cold cereal clinically proven to help lower cholesterol in a low fat diet.
How do Whole Grain Oats Work to Help Lower Cholesterol?
Nutrition researchers have some ideas. Soluble fiber in whole grain oats can form a gel in your digestive system, which may bind cholesterol and take it out of the body. By lowering your cholesterol, you may lower your risk of heart disease. That's good news for you and your family!
