Getting Serious About Cereals GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT CEREALS Cereal is a great way to break the fast and start your day with a dose of cholesterol lowering fiber. But be aware, cereals can be a source of sugar, fat and empty calories. Below are some tips to selecting healthful cereals to start your day right. Read food labels This is the only way you know what you’re really eating. Try to pick out a cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving and less than 8g of sugar. There are so many tasty high-fiber, low sugar cereals out there so if you don’t like one, try a different one. Compare sodium content Cereal is one of the top foods that can be loaded with sodium. It can range anywhere from 0 milligrams to over 400 milligrams per serving, which is surprising to most people since cereal doesn't even taste salty. Salt is used as a preservative in many boxed and canned goods. A cereal is considered low in sodium if it has < 140 milligrams per serving. Note serving sizes Serving sizes can vary widely depending on the cereal’s density. High-fiber cereals and granolas tend to have much smaller serving sizes than low-fiber flake cereals. If you choose to eat more than one serving, make note of the extra sugar and calories you’re getting. Measure your portion It’s easy to overdo it with portion size so try using a measuring cup to get an idea of what a serving looks like, especially if you’re watching your weight. You might be surprised how small a serving is. Using a small bowl also helps keep your portions in check. Beware of high-calorie additions While good for you, dried fruit and nuts can really add up quick calorie wise. Be sure to also check the ingredient list for added sugars. They can be disguised as healthy sounding ingredients like “brown rice syrup” and “cane juice.” Don’t be swayed by healthful sounding names Food marketers do a great job at making low-fiber, sugar-laden cereals sound healthy. Kellogg’s Smart Start and Harmony cereals, for example, are both low in fiber and Raisin Bran is loaded with sugar. Begin slowly Gradually transition to high-fiber cereals if your current diet is low in fiber. Too much too soon can cause stomach upset, especially if you’re not drinking enough water. If your favorite cereal is low in fiber, don’t despair! You can add fiber to this important meal by adding fresh berries and dried fruit (such as raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries or dried plums) to your bowl or by including fruit as a side dish. You can even mix your favorite cereal with a high-fiber cereal. 413.591.6729 well-concepts.com [email protected] Content Copyright ©Wellness Concepts, Inc.

  • Cereal O Ender: Is Kellogg’S Breaking Its Breakfast Promises?
    Cereal oender: is Kellogg’s breaking its breakfast promises? Executive Summary Food fortification plays an important role in addressing micronutrient deficiencies and tackling malnutrition. Breakfast cereals are one of the most commonly fortified foods and dominate many children’s diets globally. This paper examines more closely the voluntary commitments on fortification and their implementation by the world leader in breakfast cereals, Kellogg’s. The paper focuses on Mexico, where Kellogg’s dominates the breakfast cereal market: a 2013 national survey found that four of the five most commonly bought breakfast cereals for children are Kellogg’s brands. In its strategy documents, Kellogg’s articulates its responsibility to play a role ‘in tackling the global challenges of food security including undernutrition, hidden hunger, and obesity in middle- and low-income communities across the globe’ through delivering ‘healthy foods for people of all income levels in every country’. Kellogg’s also made bold claims that it had addressed ‘nutrition shortfalls’ and ‘improved Latin American cereals with the right amounts of Vitamins A, B and D, iron, calcium, folic acid and antioxidants.’ To assess whether these claims are true, Changing Markets has assessed the micronutrient make-up of Kellogg’s breakfast cereals in Mexico. Our comparison of micronutrient levels in 2013 and 2018 reveals that, in the last five years, Kellogg’s cereals have become significantly poorer in terms of minerals and vitamins. Across the board, analysis of the five most popular Kellogg’s breakfast cereals showed that over two thirds of all micronutrients across all five cereals had been reduced or removed when compared to 2013 levels.

Breakfast food Amazing tales of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals Melanie Warner Boulder, Colorado, US Emails: [email protected] Introduction There are products we all know or should know are bad for us, such as chips (crisps), sodas (soft drinks), hot dogs, cookies (biscuits), and a lot of fast food. Nobody has ever put these items on a healthy list, except perhaps industry people. Loaded up with sugar, salt and white flour, they offer about as much nutritional value as the packages they’re sold in. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the obvious stuff. The reach of the processed food industry goes a lot deeper than we think, extending to products designed to look as if they’re not really processed at all. Take, for instance, chains that sell what many people hope and believe are ‘fresh’ sandwiches. But since when does fresh food have a brew of preservatives like sodium benzoate and calcium disodium EDTA, meat fillers like soy protein, and manufactured flavourings like yeast extract and hydrolysed vegetable protein? Counting up the large number of ingredients in just one sandwich can make you cross-eyed. I first became aware of the enormity of the complex field known as food science back in 2006 when I attended an industry trade show. That year IFT, which is for the Institute of Food Technologists, and is one of the food industry’s biggest gatherings, was held in New Warner M.
