The Environmental Working Group has compiled a list of the 10 worst Children’s cereals based on sugar content. They say that cereals including Froot Loops, Apple Jacks and Captain Crunch are all more than 40% sugar by weight. Worst of all is Kellogg’s Honey Smacks which is 55.6 percent sugar by weight. They say there’s more sugar in just one cup of Honey Smacks or even Wheaties Fuel than in a Hostess Twinkie.
- So go for it Mom! Let your kid have that Twinkie they want for breakfast!
- I’m glad my favorite cereal wasn’t mentioned because frankly, nobody’s getting their hands on my Lucky Charms!
BTW… By comparison, Cheerios are just 3.6 percent sugar.
- Which is why kids don’t eat them; they just use them for “target practice” during potty training!
