Be A Cereal ConnoisseurSelecting the right cereal can help you slim down and steady blood sugar. A higher whole grain intake is also linked to lower rates of breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke—and cereal is one of the best sources of these lifesaving grains, if you know what to shop for.
Look for the words high fiber on the box; that ensures at least 5 g per serving. Millet, amaranth, quinoa, and oats are always whole grain, but if you do not see whole in front of wheat, corn, barley, or rice, these grains have been refined and are not as healthy.
The following terms represent added sugars: brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, invert sugar, maltose, malt syrup, molasses, sugar, and sucrose. Skip cereals that list any of these within the first three ingredients.
