American media too stupid to understand Wheaties and magnets
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
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.
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.
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.
