![]() Sure, maybe the EPA ought to reassess its limits to confirm their accuracy, but an adult would have to eat no less than 118 pounds of the food item every day for the rest of their life in order to reach the EPA’s current limit. The EPA has regulations for the amount of herbicide it says is safe to consume. Years of testing has shown it is almost definitely not carcinogenic to humans at all – a stance that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has backed. Who would have ever thought that a pesticide – a product designed to kill bugs – was harmful to animals? Groundbreaking stuff. They said this because very limited testing with animals revealed a possible link between the two. The World Health Organization said a couple years ago that glyphosate is “probably” a carcinogen. Let’s begin with the “link to cancer” bullshit. And the milk that’s leftover after a hearty bowl? Pure bliss.The fear here stems from an Environmental Working Group (EWG) study and accompanying report with this alarmist headline: “ Weed Killer in $289 Million Cancer Verdict Found in Oat Cereal and Granola Bars.“ The EWG goes on to say that glyphosate is linked to cancer, and that some cereals (such as Cheerios) contain a hefty dose of the weed-killing poison. ![]() Nothing can top those sweet crunchy balls of goodness but this is a great addition to Cheerios’ strong lineup of cereals that still feels more responsible than eating candy for breakfast. The chocolate and peanut butter are balanced with neither really taking the other one over, and every bite has a solid distribution of both flavors.Īre Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios better than Reese’s Puffs? Nah. There’s a nice, genuine bitter cocoa flavor that pops up over the PB and compliments the fatty nutty qualities really well. Once fully submerged in the cold creaminess the lower sugar content as compared to Reese’s Puffs is more obvious, and it eats a lot more like an “adult cereal” than a cartoon kiddy classic. In milk the peanut butter mouthfeel is much less apparent, but the smoothness is still in tact with the natural texture of the milk. The pieces taste like peanut butter and chocolate but also very distinctly Cheerios, and much like Honey Nut and other sweetened varieties, the sugar content isn’t so much that it takes away from the base flavor of the notoriously heart healthy breakfast option. Peanut butter is the third ingredient on the label, and I was pleasantly surprised that the PB presence pushes beyond flavor and translates to a wonderful fatty texture as well. What’s most impressive about eating these Cheerios is the authentic peanut butter slick that coats the pieces of cereal. Visually they’re very appealing with an equal amount of tan PB and brown chocolate O’s mingling together to create a wholesome version of one of the greatest duos of all time. The cereal has a great, sweet peanut butter-y aroma mixed with the whole oat goodness you know and love from Cheerios. ![]() Whether tugging at our Reese’s Puffs memories or just realizing PB and chocolate is one of the greatest flavor combo’s ever, Cheerios came strong this autumn with a new member of their preferment lineup – Chocolate Peanut Butter. From that moment on the Puffs became one of my favorite cereals, and up there with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Count Chocula, it has maintained a stronghold on my nostalgia-fueled favorites as I’ve gotten older. My fantasy was somewhat fulfilled as a youngster when I was beckoned to the TV as another young white boy hollered at me “It’s Reese’s…for breakfast!” My head turned and my life changed, when Reese’s Puffs cereal was gifted to the world in the mid-90’s. If I could eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups every day for breakfast and not feel like a pile of garbage, I probably would. ![]()
