Consumer Reports says not all breakfast cereals are good

Science - Health



The eFluxMedia article states that only four cereals were rated “Very Good.”

They are:

•    General Mills’ Cheerios
•    General Mills’ Kix
•    Quaker Oats’ Life
•    General Mills’ Honey Nut Cheerios

General Mill's is included in this list, along with previously mentioned Quaker Oats.

The eFlexMedia article states that a solution is possible with respect to knowing which breakfast cereal is good or bad for you.

Gayle Williams, who is the deputy editor of Consumer Reports Health, says “to read the product labels and choose cereals that are high in fiber and low in sugar and sodium.”

Now, that’s simple but good advice.

The ratings by Consumer Reports on these breakfast cereals are based on “energy density” and “nutrient content” and the results of each cereal test was verified as to its accuracy by an outside (independent) laboratory.

Until the Consumer Reports issue for November 2008 is available in print (it is already available online to subscribers), please read the previous articles mentioned above for additional information.
