here are about 3 teaspoons of sugar per serving in
many cereals marketed to children — and kids rarely
eat only the serving amount (typically 1/2 or 3/4 cup). But
there are healthy cereals that kids like — unsweetened,
toasted whole-grain oats, for example.
To find the best choice, check the Nutrition Facts label.
Look for cereal with:
– fewer than 4 grams of sugar per serving
– at least 3 grams of fiber per serving
– "100 percent whole grain" listed as the first ingredient
Be wary of misleading claims about cereals that are about
as nutritious as a junk-food dessert. If the front of the box
says "a good source of fiber," but the cereal is one-third
refined sugar, it's not a healthy choice. Also, avoid cereal
with faux fruit or "yogurt" clusters that are mainly refined
sugar and fat with no nutritional value.
