Cereal is, by and large, one of the worst foods for your waistline, and your health. There are of course a few rare exceptions (like some of the cereals in the Ezekiel 4:9® line from the good folks at Food for Life®) but when it comes to the regular boxes that stock the shelves of the cereal aisle at your local grocery store, its generally all very, very bad news. Perhaps what is most disturbing about so many brands of cereal is that they confuse the heck out of consumers by making them sound so healthy and nutritious, when in reality they are anything but. For example, while at the grocery store today I came across a Yogurt Berry Crunch cereal (with added fiber!) from a popular brand. It sure sounds healthy... In fact, the label even makes claims like heart healthy! and points out that it contains 25 grams of whole grains. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C & E, too. Just add up all those health benefits! But heres the truth: This so-called healthy cereal contains FIFTY ONE ingredients, including not one, not two, not six, not seven, but TEN different sources of SUGAR. It also contains SEVEN corn derived ingredients (very likely from genetically modified corn), including corn syrup and corn starch. Its also loaded with inflammatory wheat ingredients and gluten, not to mention two of the worst damaged, denatured oils you can consume...canola oil and soybean oil. Healthy? I dont think so!
