A hellacious new study has discovered an unbelievable mix of toxic agrochemicals and heavy metals, the levels of many of which exceed established limits for safety by the governing authorities (which are themselves likely inflated).

Via The Epoch Times (emphasis added):
A new report is raising concerns over General Mills’ new cereal line after testing revealed that Trix LOADED cereal is literally loaded with high levels of heavy metals and agrochemicals.
General Mills, Inc. on Feb. 1 launched “LOADED,” a new cereal line with “puffed-up larger-than-life squares” of General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, and Cocoa Puffs cereals filled with artificially flavored vanilla crème*. Trix LOADED boasts 17 grams of whole grain per serving and 12 vitamins and minerals. Yet testing by Moms Across America (MAA), an organization dedicated to educating and empowering others to create healthy communities, found the artificially flavored creme-filled breakfast food also contains measurable levels of aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, lead, glyphosate, and pesticides shown to be harmful to humans.
In a statement to The Epoch Times, MAA director Zen Honeycutt said her organization tested two samples of General Mills’ Trix LOADED cereal because they were alarmed that the company, which had previously seemed very committed to supporting regenerative organic agriculture, launched a cereal “loaded with creme, food dyes, and highly-processed foods.”
Even sans the heavy metals and toxic chemicals, any parent feeding their child a combination of “General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, and Cocoa Puffs cereals filled with artificially flavored vanilla crème” is borderline negligent based on the refined sugar content alone.
This is why American children are morbidly obese. It’s not overly complicated, no matter how complicated the pharmaceutical industry and General Mills would like to make it.

I say this with a heavy heart, having grown up on corporate cereal as a child. I ate it all and enjoyed every minute of it — but that was a simpler time, probably with much less manipulation, and arguably weaponization, of the food supply as we have in 2024.
The analysis, commissioned by Moms Across America and conducted by Health Research Institute, found the following, per the Epoch Times:
The following six pesticide residues were found in trace amounts:
- Imazalil-1
- Metconazole-1
- Pyraclostrobin-1
- Pyrimethanil-1
- Pyriproxyfen-1
- Tebuconazole-1
Two pesticides, piperonyl butoxide-1 (PBO) and fluopyram-1, were detected in higher amounts. Fluopyram-1 is a broad-spectrum fungicide that can cause liver problems, endocrine disruption, and thyroid cancer.
Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is a man-made pesticide synergist that enhances the potency of certain pesticides designed to kill insects. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies PBO as a “possible human carcinogen” as studies in rats show PBO can induce thyroid and liver cancers, as well as noncancerous tumors.
More recent animal model studies suggest PBO exposure can cause neurodevelopmental abnormalities in utero and liver cancer. A 2021 study published in Reproductive Toxicology found PBO may cause male infertility and reproductive toxicity…
According to test results obtained by The Epoch Times, scientists also detected measurable levels of aluminum, cadmium, lead, and arsenic in both samples of Trix LOADED cereal that in some cases far exceeded the EPA allowable levels in drinking water. The United States does not consistently regulate heavy metals in food or assess the long-term cumulative effects of heavy metal exposure in children, but it does regulate the amount of heavy metal contaminants allowed in water.
The culpability of General Mills comes down to a bit of the tedious MIHOP vs. LIHOP debate popular among proponents of “false flag” “conspiracy theories” (which, by the way, were once off-limits in polite society but are now bandied around in corporate state media when they serve the interests of the state, as seen recently with the Russia terror attack narrative).
MIHOP is an acronym that stands for “made it happen on purpose.” LIHOP, alternately, is an acronym that means “let it happen on purpose.”
What is not debatable is that there is simply no way that General Mills is not apprised of the toxic stew of chemicals it’s marketing to children, which can only be described, in my view, as morally bankrupt.
Whichever the case, MIHOP or LIHOP, the end result (childhood obesity and retarded mental development) is the same; it is only a matter of the extent of involvement by the responsible authorities and their either active or passive, respectively, facilitation of these outcomes.
