I remember doing an experiment on these cereals a long time ago in a
college science class. We took three or four brands of cereal and
dissolved the entire box in water if I remember correctly. Used the
magnet for the iron (total has a lot in a box) and used some other tests
to pull the other minerals out. Amazing what we found.

Its not in all cereals... but a popular one is Total, they add iron and
zinc filings, however zinc won't get caught by a magnet. If your
cereal
box says it contains "reduced iron" or "100% iron" then it has the
filings.
our stomach acid generally has no problem dissolving up these guys so we
can
get the iron where it needs to be.
