Getting Serious About Cereals: It's All About Fiber. (Nutrition Comparison) Environmental Nutrition, May 2003
Getting serious about cereals: it's all about fiber. (Nutrition Comparison) Environmental Nutrition, May 2003 The cereal aisle offers an overwhelming array of choices. But when it comes down to it, what are you really looking for in a cereal besides good taste? Fiber. After all, if you're going to meet your daily 20- to 35-gram quota, you'd better get started at breakfast, when you have the best opportunity for loading up. Fortunately, high-fiber nutrition doesn't have to taste like sawdust anymore. There are plenty of high- fiber products these days that contain tasty--and healthful--ingredients like oat clusters, flaxseed or currants, for example. Kashi's fast-expanding line of cereals is one of our top picks for both nutrition and flavor. But be aware that high-fiber cereals sometimes contain unexpected ingredients, such as hydrogenated oils, highfructose corn syrup, sugar substitutes (e.g., aspartame) or surprisingly high amounts of sodium. That means you need to read the nutrition label for more than just fiber content. Cereal Pointers * Choose a cereal primarily for its fiber content, not because it is vitamin-fortified (that's what a multi is for). Aim for at least five grams of fiber per serving, eight is even better. * Check the label for serving size; it varies depending on a cereal's density. If you eat more than what's stated, be aware of the extra calories. * If you're watching your weight, remember that added sugars (as cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, high fructose corn syrup, grape juice concentrate) simply add empty calories.
