Same here, I have whey protein supplements for my children to boost their immune system.

It’s not just Cocoa Krispies. It’s Rice Krispies too.

#26, TML,

Smart going. Tequila is usually only 40% alcohol and viruses need a 75% alcohol potion to be killed. So doubling your tequila dose should about do it.

But the cigarettes. Do you really know who was sucking on them in the factory? Do you want to take that chance?

I see, so when Cheerios makes claims “good for your heart” It’s an insane enough claim to make the FDA step in and issue a labeling warning

But when you make claims that obviously look to subliminally raise your “immunity” awareness and by extension, make you think of vaccines, it’s only worthy of note by “critics”

mmkay.

#25 I’m no nutritionist but I know when something works when I observe it. My dad used to eat cooked oats, milk, and honey everyday pretty much since his childhood. I never saw him drink OJ or eat much citrus at all, but this guy never, ever caught, a flu or a cold – and had colon regularity you could set your watch to. Hardworking middle class single parent of 3 kids there was no shortage of stress, even when the factories closed in the 70′s and he had to swallow his pride and go on welfare. Never even the sniffles. Harsh winters in PA back then, all day out in the mountains hunting deer in the freezing rain, etc … you get the idea… The only constant in his diet was this peculiar breakfast. Some might say they don’t make ‘em like they used to, I say horsefeathers. We just don’t live like we used to.

#25 Mr. GreanJeans – Chase that with a shot of tequila and a cigarette and you’ve got something there.

#7 FuseBox – I was thinking that the tequila was killing all the pig germs. Since this pandemic I have been going through two bottles a day instead of my usual one. I use the cigs to keep people away from me. It’s been working pretty good so far. I haven’t gotten h1n1 yet.

#24 Toxicana – Is it beer or meat? I can’t decide.

There is some truth to their claim as the vitamins and minerals do support immunity, but the massive dose of sugar is an immune suppressive!

amodedoma, I don’t see how oatmeal, milk, and honey carries with it immunity as theire isn’t even any vitamin c in that.

One great thing for colds and sore throat is a natural syrup made of honey, squeeze lemon, and crushed garlic. Take a tablespoon of that when you have a cough and see what happens.

The 4 basic food groups are meat, cheese, chocolate and beer. It’s got one of them….

The real problem with this crap is some mothers will get flashed by the word IMMUNITY and the fears they’ve been harboring about H1N1 will compel them to buy. It may not be illegal but it certainly is misleading to suggest that Cocoa Krispies can help keep your child safe from infection. Not only that, it really pisses me off when someone tries to use my fears to get me to do something. I’d like to grab Snap, Crackle, and Pop by their tiny little necks and give them a little fear to deal with.

#13 Guyver,

So an interview with a Libertarian, wing nut wacko physician who isn’t licensed to practice is a valid reference?

The host has been censured TWICE by the FDA for making untrue claims about his “potions”.

Yup, really great stuff there. They would both fit right in selling religion on the Bible Channel.

What would they do to Ronald McDonald if he put “Now helps support your immunity!” on a Happy Meal box?

Eating most breakfast cereals amounts to eating a cup of sugar. The box would be better for you. Dirt would be better for you.
