Healthy cereal

I took a leisurely walk down the cereal aisle at the grocery last weekend. I've been eating Kashi cereals and granola for breakfast, and I decided to compare the sugar content to kids cereals such as Corn Pops and Cap'n Crunch. In general, you are not any better off eating some of the so-called healthy cereals because they have just as much (or more) sugar content than those Froot Loops you wish you could eat every day, but are too embarrassed to admit that you buy them sometimes.

Another surprise I found was that some of the "healthy" cereals don't have much fiber content, either.

This research project justified my purchase of Kix, which has only 3 gm of sugar per serving.
