Consumer magazine Which? tested out UK breakfast cereals. recently for sugar. Not too surprisingly, they found some with very high levels of added sugar..
In fact, they found that some of them were hard to distinguish from sweets.
Top of the sugar pile were supermarket Morrisons’ Choco Crackles. They had more sugar in a serving than is found in a Cadbury’s chocolate flake. Two Kellogg’s products came closely after them – containing 37% sugar.
Special K, marketed at those wishing to lose weight, was not much better. Which? said that starting the day with Special K gave a similar sugar hit to starting the day with Tesco’s Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Ice Cream.

Best avoid those manufactured breakfast cereals, methinks.

I think reducing the sugar content of our breakfast is the best option for us and also natural cereals should replace synthetic ones
