Which Breakfast Cereals Are Best For Your Kids?

Boston (dbTechno) - According to a new report released by Consumer Reports Health, parents need to be careful about which types of cereals their kids eat, as many popular brands have been found to be very unhealthy.

The report is set to be published in the November issue of Consumer Reports, and analyzed 27 different brands of cereals.

They found that one serving of 11 of the most popular brands of cereals contained as much sugar as a glazed doughnut.

The cereals which were loaded with sugar included Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, Kraft Foods Inc’s Post Golden Crisp, as well as others.

The cereals in question here were found to contain more than 50% sugar by weight.

The report also went on to state that many of the cereals sold in the U.S. actually contained more sugar than the same cereals which were sold in other countries.

Other cereals which were rated very low included Froot Loops, Corn Pops, Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, and Cocoa Krispies.

Many dieticians have stated that it is healthy to eat cereal in the morning, as it is a good source of carbs, vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.

The problem though is that some of these popular cereals do more harm than good due to their sugar content.

The best cereals were found to be General Mills’ Cheerios, Kix, Honey Nut Cheerios, as well as Quaker Oats’ Life.
