Nutrition: Many cereals eaten by children are over fortified with vitamin A, zinc and niacin. This is another reason why children need to avoid excess bread and cereal intake. Most children begin the day with a carbohydrate meal that lacks protein and fat. This causes an insulin surge and then a rapid dip in blood glucose that leads to hunger and potential attention and learning issues. Bonking is not just seen in marathoners. Make sure your child eats a balanced breakfast that includes adequate healthy fat and protein. These buffer the release of insulin and provide long lasting energy for your child so lunch is not too far away. usatoday/story/news/nation/2014/06/24/cereals-fortified-childrens-health/11103783/
