Did you know that kid’s cereal has an average of, 40% more sugar per “serving” than adult cereals? Obviously, the term “serving” is also rather generic and can vary vastly from person to person, so it’s dreadful to think about how much sugar our teenagers actually guzzle every morning!
Thinking about our child’s cereal, the first thing came to our minds is the colorful amulets advertising healthy breakfasts that are laden with “vitamins” and other wholesome ingredients. Sadly, these mascots are spawned by billion dollar marketing machines and have been widely popular over the few decades with clever advertising tactics. Unfortunately, their allege about “vitamins rich cereals” are very misleading.
