There are Other Lists on the Net and Much to No Surprise, Mostly Different...! :cool:
"When you imagine a healthy breakfast, packaged cereal probably isn’t in the picture. And for good reason: Plenty of boxes deliver little more than refined grains pumped with added sugar and artificial coloring.
But the cereal aisle offers an abundance of options. All are convenient, many are budget-friendly, and a select few are truly good for you. How do you detect that last group? Misleading labels and advertising certainly don’t help—but we can.
First, look to the ingredients list.
“The first ingredient listed should be a whole grain, like whole wheat, oats, bran, barley, brown rice, or millet,” says Ha Nguyen, R.D. “And sugar should not be one of the first three ingredients. If it’s there at all, it should be toward the bottom of the list.”
Next, shift your eyes up to the nutrition label.
“I generally look for a cereal that has at least three grams of fiber, at least four grams of protein, and fewer than eight grams of sugar per serving,” says Lindsey Pine, R.D. “The combination of the fiber and protein will keep you fuller longer, and fiber also contributes to a healthy gut.”
If your favorite cereal falls short on protein (a lot do), pair it with an egg or yogurt to round out your morning meal."
My Favorites, Great Grains and Basic4, didn't make the list...! Not :cool:
