This is a stunning article. It details a recent study showing that many of the top selling children’s cereals contain more sugar per serving than a Hostess Twinkie. I think most people knew that Captain Crunch was loaded with sugar. Cocoa Krispies? Not shocking. But Wheaties Fuel?! The breakfast of champions! Who knew the champion was running on fructose. To be fair, many of the cereals are low in sugar and won’t cause the insulin spikes that are regularly blamed for the spike in obesity since 1976 (watch this). The best part is that your non or low-fat milk is dumping even more sugar into your system. This is all new in the history of humans; maybe something’s wrong? Let us know what you think. In the meantime, kudos to the plain Cheerios. Although we prefer Kale.
