Breakfast cereal

Many people believe that eating breakfast cereals is a wise way to begin the day. But this isn't always the case. In fact, a lot of breakfast cereals include a lot of added sugar, lack satisfying ingredients like protein and fiber, and are made from refined grains. Even cereals marketed toward adults often include a lot of added sugar.

Breakfast cereals are promoted as being healthy, with labels like "low-fat" and "whole-grain" showing on the packaging. However, refined grains and sugar are frequently mentioned as their first two ingredients. These goods are not nutritious just because they contain a little whole grain. And consuming a lot of cereal, especially as part of a diet with a lot of added sugar, is not good for your heart. Diets rich in added sugar, however, probably have the opposite impact.
