Always remember to avoid sugar coated raisins in these cereals. Instead, you may enjoy Kellogg’s All-Bran Complete Wheat Flakes (1 cup) after adding one tablespoon of raisins to it. Whole grain flakes (wheat flakes) sweetened with sugar should not be a part of your breakfast. Various consumer reviews inform us that sugars in this cereal, including high fructose corn syrup can prove to be harmful for your health. It is better to make your own breakfast by taking wheat flakes and adding any of your favorite unadulterated fruit and nuts to it. This will help lower the sugar content.
The aforementioned nutrition facts will help you choose the best breakfast cereal. The cereal which is low in sodium, sugar, and calories, and which contains no harmful elements can be considered the healthiest. It should contain high amount of vitamins and minerals to keep you active throughout the day.
