=== Wheaties Contain Metal Fragments (08:02) ===

[00:00:00]  All right, you are absolutely not going to believe this.
[00:00:03]  So earlier today, I published this story about Wheaties cereal found to contain so many metal fragments that they can be levitated with magnets.
[00:00:13]  And it's true.
[00:00:15]  My name is Mike Adams.
[00:00:16]  I'm the director here of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab.
[00:00:19]  I run the Atomic Spectroscopy Lab.
[00:00:21]  I do high-level chemical analysis, elemental analysis, microscopy.
[00:00:28]  Microscopic videos and photography, many other things.
[00:00:30]  I run the lab here.
[00:00:32]  But after I published this story about Wheaties, I was accused of a hoax.
[00:00:39]  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.
[00:00:50]  Which is now engaged in scientific censorship of food research.
[00:00:53]  Because they're too stupid to understand magnets.
[00:00:56]  Oh my god.
[00:00:58]  What are we going to do in this country?
[00:01:00]  Education standards fall in that much.
[00:01:02]  So let me show you the substance.
[00:01:04]  Here's the video.
[00:01:05]  So in this video, I showed a high-powered magnet, an ordinary neodymium magnet, which I purchased on Amazon.com.
[00:01:13]  Here it is.
[00:01:14]  There's the magnet.
[00:01:15]  This is under a microscope.
[00:01:17]  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.
[00:01:25]  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.
[00:01:37]  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.
[00:01:46]  I showed that video and then I showed this video Which zooms in on the metal fragments in Wheaties.
[00:01:53]  So you see these little blue things right there?
[00:01:54]  That's a metal fragment.
[00:01:58]  Right there, that blurry thing, that's a metal fragment.
[00:02:00]  There's another one right there.
[00:02:02]  These are little pieces of metal.
[00:02:03]  So this is not rocket science, folks.
[00:02:06]  I mean, this is not a mystery.
[00:02:07]  This is magnetism, okay?
[00:02:10]  This is like high school physics that PR Newswire can't understand.
[00:02:16]  Maybe they never made it through high school, I'm not sure.
[00:02:19]  So, I posted that video and, oh here it is, sort of the article and the video, and some people were amazed.
[00:02:27]  I posted these photos too, check these out.
[00:02:30]  Here's a good...
[00:02:31]  Well, actually, there's a better photo in the lab here.
[00:02:34]  Let me get you this.
[00:02:35]  Photo galleries.
[00:02:37]  Check this out.
[00:02:38]  Chicken nuggets, metal fragments.
[00:02:39]  There we go.
[00:02:41]  So if you look at these photos, that's a fragment right there that's stuck to the magnet.
[00:02:45]  These are tons...
[00:02:47]  Look at that.
[00:02:47]  All kinds of fragments in the Wheaties.
[00:02:49]  This is not controversial stuff, people.
[00:02:52]  This is basic stuff.
[00:02:54]  You go buy a box of Wheaties, you stick it under a microscope, you get this.
[00:02:59]  So I'm astonished that there have been people on YouTube, they're like, this is a hoax.
[00:03:05]  Probably this will show up on Snopes.
[00:03:07]  And Snopes, not being scientifically illiterate either, will probably say, there's no such thing as magnets.
[00:03:13]  No such thing as metal pieces in Wheaties.
[00:03:16]  They'll probably call it an urban legend.
[00:03:18]  So I guess this will go down in history as a great hoax, even though it isn't.
[00:03:23]  So You gotta wonder, what is truth anymore?
[00:03:26]  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.
[00:03:34]  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.
[00:03:45]  So, you gotta wonder, like...
[00:03:48]  What can you really trust?
[00:03:49]  For example, check this out.
[00:03:51]  In 2013, I published this story about chicken nuggets found to contain mysterious fibers and hair-like structures.
[00:04:01]  And this story went...
[00:04:04]  Totally viral and here's some of the pictures.
[00:04:06]  This is in a chicken McNugget from McDonald's.
[00:04:09]  There's like a freaky little hair fiber thing that we found in the nuggets.
[00:04:15]  There's the alien cave as I call it.
[00:04:18]  This is all in chicken nuggets, right?
[00:04:20]  So I published this in, what's the date?
[00:04:23]  August 16, 2013.
[00:04:24]  Well then guess what?
[00:04:26]  University researchers copied me.
[00:04:29]  So, University of Mississippi researchers decided to examine chicken nuggets, and then they published a scientific article.
[00:04:37]  And then, of course, Reuters covered it.
[00:04:40]  Because now it's real.
[00:04:42]  You see, now that my research has been copied by university researchers, It must be real.
[00:04:49]  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.
[00:05:04]  You know, you press the buttons and then magically it works invisibly to control the moving picture on the television in front of you.
[00:05:14]  How does that work?
[00:05:15]  I wonder if PR Newswire executives ever get on airplanes or if they think flying machines are voodoo and witchcraft.
[00:05:23]  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.
[00:05:38]  They don't even understand that metal fragments in a cereal will allow that cereal to be attracted to magnets.
[00:05:44]  So, I don't know what to say.
[00:05:46]  I mean, here I am doing really interesting science in the public interest.
[00:05:51]  You know, this is, public deserves to know this stuff.
[00:05:54]  I'm looking at Wheaties.
[00:05:56]  I'm looking at interesting stuff.
[00:05:58]  And they're like, it must be a hoax.
[00:06:01]  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.
[00:06:12]  And there are a lot of them out there, as you know.
[00:06:14]  If you've been reading video comments for very long, you know that's the case.
[00:06:19]  Or trolls, or detractors, or whatever.
[00:06:22]  I don't know what to say.
[00:06:24]  I guess I just gotta keep doing interesting research and showing you the truth.
[00:06:31]  You can replicate this yourself.
[00:06:33]  Go get yourself a magnet, smash up some Wheaties, and do this.
[00:06:38]  It's so easy.
[00:06:40]  It takes like five seconds to do this.
[00:06:42]  It's not a complicated thing.
[00:06:45]  This is not a mystery.
[00:06:46]  It's not staged.
[00:06:47]  It's not a green screen.
[00:06:49]  There's no Photoshop.
[00:06:50]  I mean, why would I bother?
[00:06:52]  Food is weird enough all by itself without faking anything.
[00:06:55]  I mean, this is just the way...
[00:06:57]  This is reality.
[00:06:59]  Little Wheaties bits.
[00:07:00]  I think of flying off the magnet.
[00:07:03]  Magnetically repelled.
[00:07:06]  I mean, it's not like I'm saying they're anti-gravity devices or something.
[00:07:09]  I don't know how this is even a controversy.
[00:07:15]  I mean, it's just basic common sense, really.
[00:07:18]  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.
[00:07:36]  What do you do?
[00:07:37]  I don't know.
[00:07:39]  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 (03:00) ===

[00:07:50]  I promise you that.
[00:07:52]  I'm never going to hoax you.
[00:07:54]  I'm never going to use a green screen.
[00:07:55]  I'm never going to use Photoshop to fake results.
[00:07:59]  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.
[00:08:03]  Check out our lab results.
[00:08:04]  Oh, hey, we improved some things today.
[00:08:06]  Let me show you that, too.
[00:08:08]  Ah, look at all these junk food cereals.
[00:08:10]  Oh boy.
[00:08:12]  Oops, all berries, Cap'n Crunch.
[00:08:14]  Which contains no berries, by the way.
[00:08:16]  But anyway, check this out.
[00:08:17]  Look at that.
[00:08:18]  We changed all these graphics here to be blue.
[00:08:21]  Because it was confusing some people apparently.
[00:08:25]  Too stupid to know what good means or what high versus low means.
[00:08:31]  So it was like we had to change the pictures to be all blue.
[00:08:35]  It used to be red down here and then it was yellow and then it was green.
[00:08:39]  But no, that's too complicated for the media.
[00:08:44]  So we had to change to blue.
[00:08:47]  And now it's blue.
[00:08:49]  So they can understand a PR newswire where magnets are mystery.
[00:08:54]  Sorry, I don't mean to make fun of people who actually have cognitive impairment.
[00:08:58]  I apologize for that.
[00:09:00]  In fact, I'm trying to help people by showing you how to get the lead out of your diet.
[00:09:04]  See, I mean, please understand what I'm doing here.
[00:09:07]  You have to, if we want to have healthy babies, oh wow, we just changed this.
[00:09:12]  Cool.
[00:09:13]  If we want to have healthy babies, we've got to get lead out of our food.
[00:09:16]  So I'm showing you, if you eat Uncle Sam's cereal, you have zero lead, okay?
[00:09:21]  So you don't have a retarded child because lead causes mental retardation.
[00:09:26]  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.
[00:09:36]  And yet, my work is apparently so advanced, so incredibly complex, that PR Newswire can't understand it.
[00:09:47]  I just can't understand it!
[00:09:50]  Magnets!
[00:09:51]  Magnets!
[00:09:53]  Serial!
[00:09:54]  Sorry, I'm now quoting the comedian.
[00:09:57]  What's his name?
[00:09:58]  The guy that does DDD. That Latino Camita, he's awesome.
[00:10:03]  He's so funny.
[00:10:05]  I'm mimicking him now.
[00:10:08]  But anyway, this is real science going on here, and I'm really trying to help people.
[00:10:14]  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.
[00:10:27]  So there you go.
[00:10:30]  I don't know what to say.

=== Oops, Hoax! (00:26) ===

[00:10:33]  Magnets are real.
[00:10:34]  They really do work.
[00:10:36]  Oh my goodness.
[00:10:40]  Okay, I'm going to go back to my green screen.
[00:10:42]  Oops, not my green screen.
[00:10:43]  Did I say that?
[00:10:44]  Oh my gosh.
[00:10:46]  My hoax.
[00:10:46]  No.
[00:10:47]  Oops, I accidentally said hoax.
[00:10:49]  No, I'm going to go back to my lab now and go back to work doing real science.
[00:10:56]  And we'll let PR Newswire figure it out later.
