Cereal is such a staple in the American diet, that people eat it more than any other classic breakfast choice (toast and bacon come in second and third), and four out of five Americans eat it for dinner, according to a YouGov survey. Yet cereal has been maligned as a sugar-laden highly processed food, largely devoid of natural nutrients (other than what s been added back in the form of fortified B vitamins).
If you re one of the healthy-minded consumers who has ever wondered how terrible cold cereal really is for you, then chances are you ve turned the box to read the label on the side panel. Most ingredient lists show that boxed cereals contain processed grains as well as a list of things you can’t pronounce. Yet here’s the surprise: Cereal may not be as bad as you think – as long as you choose what goes in the bowl wisely.
