When it comes to the proverbial \u2018most important meal of the day\u2019, something has gone seriously wrong over the last couple of years. Breakfast cereals marketed towards children are often promoted has healthy meals, but no one ever tells you about the sugar content. According to a recent article, the Environmental Working Group found that 56 out of 84 reviewed breakfast brands had between 24 to 26% sugar by weight! That\u2019s even before the odd sprinkle of sugar that some children add to their cereal. To put things into perspective, the amount of sugar in a single serving of some breakfast cereals may even be similar to eating a few cookies or even a chocolate bar. Extra sugar not only gets converted into fat but the sudden intake of sugar causes\u00a0blood sugar<\/a>\u00a0levels to spike and then crash\u2026inevitably leading to vicious circle of craving sweet fatty food. This \u2018sugar generation\u2019 goes far back, even when I was at school. I had a friend who ate his cereal (a popular brand containing chocolate) with three large spoons of sugar added. To top it off, he drank a large glass of his favorite soft drink. Back then, it\u2019s easy to see why by the time first break came around at 10am, he was cranky and first in line at the tuck-shop ordering donuts, chocolate bars and crisps. Some people may argue that at least it\u2019s a way of getting their children to eat cereal and therefore get some fiber into their system and food into their stomachs to start the day.<\/p>\n
