…breakfast is SO important, and we make the commitment to eat together as a family every morning. I feel like it starts our day off right and it also helps us to connect as a family first thing in the morning. I’m excited to share some great news for cereal lovers. As a fan of General Mills I was so excited to learn that they recently announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain. Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.
Other cereal benefits:
*Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals,
account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
*Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
*More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights
and lower Body Mass Index measures.
