New research confirms what consumers have long known -- most breakfast cereals advertised to children are full of sugar. Cereals marketed to kids have 85 percent more sugar, 65 percent less fiber and 60 percent more sodium than those aimed at adults. In fact, the least nutritious cereals are often the most heavily marketed to children with leading brands like Kelloggs and Uncle Tobys topping the list. Avoid any cereal made by these global brands where qualityof food and health are certainly not a priority. Interesting to note, even Special K came up on the top 10 worst cereals list!
