Wheaties Contain Metal Fragments
00:08:02
|
|
| All right, you are absolutely not going to believe this. | |
| So earlier today, I published this story about Wheaties cereal found to contain so many metal fragments that they can be levitated with magnets. | |
| And it's true. | |
| My name is Mike Adams. | |
| I'm the director here of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab. | |
| I run the Atomic Spectroscopy Lab. | |
| I do high-level chemical analysis, elemental analysis, microscopy. | |
| Microscopic videos and photography, many other things. | |
| I run the lab here. | |
| But after I published this story about Wheaties, I was accused of a hoax. | |
| So let me just tell you about the substance of the story first, and then I'll tell you about the false hoax accusation, which has come from PR Newswire. | |
| Which is now engaged in scientific censorship of food research. | |
| Because they're too stupid to understand magnets. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| What are we going to do in this country? | |
| Education standards fall in that much. | |
| So let me show you the substance. | |
| Here's the video. | |
| So in this video, I showed a high-powered magnet, an ordinary neodymium magnet, which I purchased on Amazon.com. | |
| Here it is. | |
| There's the magnet. | |
| This is under a microscope. | |
| And the little crushed Wheaties flakes contain all kinds of metal that then leaps to the magnet, gets attracted to the magnet, as you can see. | |
| And then I show this other video of showing the, this is just a little wooden, almost like a toothpick sized thing, showing how the magnet repels these once they leave the corner of the magnet. | |
| They're attracted to the corner because that's the attraction field and then they are pushed off and actually repelled magnetically from this magnet which is the shape of a cube, by the way. | |
| I showed that video and then I showed this video Which zooms in on the metal fragments in Wheaties. | |
| So you see these little blue things right there? | |
| That's a metal fragment. | |
| Right there, that blurry thing, that's a metal fragment. | |
| There's another one right there. | |
| These are little pieces of metal. | |
| So this is not rocket science, folks. | |
| I mean, this is not a mystery. | |
| This is magnetism, okay? | |
| This is like high school physics that PR Newswire can't understand. | |
| Maybe they never made it through high school, I'm not sure. | |
| So, I posted that video and, oh here it is, sort of the article and the video, and some people were amazed. | |
| I posted these photos too, check these out. | |
| Here's a good... | |
| Well, actually, there's a better photo in the lab here. | |
| Let me get you this. | |
| Photo galleries. | |
| Check this out. | |
| Chicken nuggets, metal fragments. | |
| There we go. | |
| So if you look at these photos, that's a fragment right there that's stuck to the magnet. | |
| These are tons... | |
| Look at that. | |
| All kinds of fragments in the Wheaties. | |
| This is not controversial stuff, people. | |
| This is basic stuff. | |
| You go buy a box of Wheaties, you stick it under a microscope, you get this. | |
| So I'm astonished that there have been people on YouTube, they're like, this is a hoax. | |
| Probably this will show up on Snopes. | |
| And Snopes, not being scientifically illiterate either, will probably say, there's no such thing as magnets. | |
| No such thing as metal pieces in Wheaties. | |
| They'll probably call it an urban legend. | |
| So I guess this will go down in history as a great hoax, even though it isn't. | |
| So You gotta wonder, what is truth anymore? | |
| Because here I am doing honest, you know, investigation in the lab, publishing this information in the public interest, because it's pretty interesting stuff. | |
| Most people don't know that Weedie cereal is loaded with metal fragments, so many of them that you can levitate them with magnets, which anybody can do. | |
| So, you gotta wonder, like... | |
| What can you really trust? | |
| For example, check this out. | |
| In 2013, I published this story about chicken nuggets found to contain mysterious fibers and hair-like structures. | |
| And this story went... | |
| Totally viral and here's some of the pictures. | |
| This is in a chicken McNugget from McDonald's. | |
| There's like a freaky little hair fiber thing that we found in the nuggets. | |
| There's the alien cave as I call it. | |
| This is all in chicken nuggets, right? | |
| So I published this in, what's the date? | |
| August 16, 2013. | |
| Well then guess what? | |
| University researchers copied me. | |
| So, University of Mississippi researchers decided to examine chicken nuggets, and then they published a scientific article. | |
| And then, of course, Reuters covered it. | |
| Because now it's real. | |
| You see, now that my research has been copied by university researchers, It must be real. | |
| Whereas if I'm doing the original research and telling you that Wheaties can be levitate with magnets and PR Newswire says, oh, it must be a hoax because they're just too stupid to understand magnetism and they must be amazed by TV remotes. | |
| You know, you press the buttons and then magically it works invisibly to control the moving picture on the television in front of you. | |
| How does that work? | |
| I wonder if PR Newswire executives ever get on airplanes or if they think flying machines are voodoo and witchcraft. | |
| I mean, seriously, you just gotta wonder, man, just how low are the standards in the mainstream media these days to the point where they don't even get, they don't even understand magnets. | |
| They don't even understand that metal fragments in a cereal will allow that cereal to be attracted to magnets. | |
| So, I don't know what to say. | |
| I mean, here I am doing really interesting science in the public interest. | |
| You know, this is, public deserves to know this stuff. | |
| I'm looking at Wheaties. | |
| I'm looking at interesting stuff. | |
| And they're like, it must be a hoax. | |
| So, word to the wise, if you read the comments on this video, by the way, if you see anyone commenting, this is another hoax, then you know they're a total moron. | |
| And there are a lot of them out there, as you know. | |
| If you've been reading video comments for very long, you know that's the case. | |
| Or trolls, or detractors, or whatever. | |
| I don't know what to say. | |
| I guess I just gotta keep doing interesting research and showing you the truth. | |
| You can replicate this yourself. | |
| Go get yourself a magnet, smash up some Wheaties, and do this. | |
| It's so easy. | |
| It takes like five seconds to do this. | |
| It's not a complicated thing. | |
| This is not a mystery. | |
| It's not staged. | |
| It's not a green screen. | |
| There's no Photoshop. | |
| I mean, why would I bother? | |
| Food is weird enough all by itself without faking anything. | |
| I mean, this is just the way... | |
| This is reality. | |
| Little Wheaties bits. | |
| I think of flying off the magnet. | |
| Magnetically repelled. | |
| I mean, it's not like I'm saying they're anti-gravity devices or something. | |
| I don't know how this is even a controversy. | |
| I mean, it's just basic common sense, really. | |
| But I guess, hey, I guess, you know, here I am, one of the last few journalists in an ever-shrinking list of journalists who have an IQ anymore, surrounded by other mainstream media people who populate the world full of idiots. | |
| What do you do? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Well, I just say, hey, keep reading natural news if you want to have actual, really intelligent investigations, independent investigations into what's in your food. | |

Why We Changed the Graphics
00:03:00
|
|
| I promise you that. | |
| I'm never going to hoax you. | |
| I'm never going to use a green screen. | |
| I'm never going to use Photoshop to fake results. | |
| I'm just going to lay it out for you, and I'm going to give you real results like I do here at the lab. | |
| Check out our lab results. | |
| Oh, hey, we improved some things today. | |
| Let me show you that, too. | |
| Ah, look at all these junk food cereals. | |
| Oh boy. | |
| Oops, all berries, Cap'n Crunch. | |
| Which contains no berries, by the way. | |
| But anyway, check this out. | |
| Look at that. | |
| We changed all these graphics here to be blue. | |
| Because it was confusing some people apparently. | |
| Too stupid to know what good means or what high versus low means. | |
| So it was like we had to change the pictures to be all blue. | |
| It used to be red down here and then it was yellow and then it was green. | |
| But no, that's too complicated for the media. | |
| So we had to change to blue. | |
| And now it's blue. | |
| So they can understand a PR newswire where magnets are mystery. | |
| Sorry, I don't mean to make fun of people who actually have cognitive impairment. | |
| I apologize for that. | |
| In fact, I'm trying to help people by showing you how to get the lead out of your diet. | |
| See, I mean, please understand what I'm doing here. | |
| You have to, if we want to have healthy babies, oh wow, we just changed this. | |
| Cool. | |
| If we want to have healthy babies, we've got to get lead out of our food. | |
| So I'm showing you, if you eat Uncle Sam's cereal, you have zero lead, okay? | |
| So you don't have a retarded child because lead causes mental retardation. | |
| The I'm the guy actually trying to protect our brains, trying to protect our cognitive function by showing you what's in your food so you can choose cleaner foods. | |
| And yet, my work is apparently so advanced, so incredibly complex, that PR Newswire can't understand it. | |
| I just can't understand it! | |
| Magnets! | |
| Magnets! | |
| Serial! | |
| Sorry, I'm now quoting the comedian. | |
| What's his name? | |
| The guy that does DDD. That Latino Camita, he's awesome. | |
| He's so funny. | |
| I'm mimicking him now. | |
| But anyway, this is real science going on here, and I'm really trying to help people. | |
| And I'm almost speechless at the total lack of scientific understanding at PR Newswire, in the mainstream media, and in sort of the public at large. | |
| So there you go. | |
| I don't know what to say. | |
|
Oops, Hoax!
00:00:26
|
|
| Magnets are real. | |
| They really do work. | |
| Oh my goodness. | |
| Okay, I'm going to go back to my green screen. | |
| Oops, not my green screen. | |
| Did I say that? | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| My hoax. | |
| No. | |
| Oops, I accidentally said hoax. | |
| No, I'm going to go back to my lab now and go back to work doing real science. | |
| And we'll let PR Newswire figure it out later. | |
