Based on an analysis published in 1979 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture of cereals that account for 90 percent of those purchased by Americans.
Note: For a more reasonable balance of nutrients, concentrate on those cereals that contain less than 10 percent sugar. Note that most of these are the brands you grew up with, in contrast to the sugar laden brands introduced during recent decades. If additional sweetening is desired, garnish your cereal with fresh fruit. |
