I just read an article on sugar in kids’ breakfast cereals here on ABC News.  In the article it compared the sugar content of kids cereals to the sugar content of a serving of Chips Ahoy cookies. It turns out that the cookies had less sugar and it got me thinking…are “grown-up” breakfast cereals any better? Turns out that two of the “healthy” cereals I thought of first: Kashi Honey Almond Cereal and Great Grains—also have more sugar than the 10 grams in a serving of Chips Ahoy. However, they do have more fiber, which is good because it helps with the assimilation of sugar.
Lesson for the day…read your labels!
