AI Overview …. submitted by watchdog with bad breath.

While generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies when used in food, tripotassium phosphate, like other phosphate additives, can pose health risks in excessive amounts or for individuals with specific conditions.
It's mainly a concern when consumed in large quantities or by those with kidney problems, heart conditions, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
FDA Approval:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes tripotassium phosphate (as well as disodium phosphate and monopotassium phosphate) as safe for use in food.
Potential Risks:
High levels of phosphates, including tripotassium phosphate, have been linked to:
Kidney disease: Excess phosphate can strain the kidneys and exacerbate existing kidney problems.
Cardiovascular issues: High phosphate levels can contribute to heart problems, potentially through blood vessel calcification.
Bone health: Excess phosphate may interfere with calcium absorption, potentially impacting bone density.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Some evidence suggests a link between high phosphate levels and IBD.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

For those with BJ memberships, they sell 40.7 ounce packages of Cheerios for $6.99. Currently they have a $1.50 off coupon, which makes the overall price a little lower per ounce than this deal. They offer that coupon pretty frequently.

I have none of the conditions in the first comment. I am and have been for years, completely addicted to Cheerios. I just came back from Costco where I bought three two-packs of 20.35 oz. boxes of Cheerios on sale for $4.99 each. They'll last a couple of months or so. :-)

I guess the question is how many metric tons of Cheerios does one need to consume to get 'high levels' of phosphates?

I've eaten Cheerios in the past …. but ask yourself why ?

What is the difference between Cheerios in Europe and USA?
Cheerios contain several different ingredients in the US and Europe. In the US, Cheerios often include genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and a long list of artificial additives. On the contrary, European Cheerios are free of GMOs and artificial preservatives.Nov 21, 2024

I tried to order to go with the rest of my S&S for July, but this product only allows me to have it shiped on a S&S date that is separate from my normal order. When I click on other items, like the BIC pens that are front page right now, they immediately show the same date as my other S&S items.

Has this happened to anyone else? When I try to change the S&S delivery date, it doesn't give me the option of my normal date.

Ya happened to me when I went to add the kidney beans deal. said S&S but delivery date was end of June but my normal S&S is scheduled for mid July weird first time I've seen that.

Just checked the Cheerios and same thing June 30 delivery date with S&S not my normal date.

Realistically, you'll be sick of eating Cheerios long before you get to the "high levels" of phosphates.

But at the same time, they can clearly make Cheerios without the phosphates, so maybe they should in the US too, but it's up to the US government or a large state like CA or TX to force them to do so.

GMO's are great, better than the alternative.

is anyone else not seeing any S&S options on some of these pages? I only see single-purchase options for me...
