That would be the takeaway from a study published by Brazilian researchers in the peer-reviewed journal Heliyon. But if you are a man, I think this paper provides no useful information other than insinuating that Froot Loops do not exactly belong in the “health food” category, which would seem to be a self-evident truth.</p><p> </p> Wed, 12 Jul 2023 15:34:35 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 9565 at /oss
