Thank you so much for this study. My husband is diabetic but insists on cereal AND a donut for breakfast. I like my oatmeal (scant 1/4 cup) and a yogurt with a glass of 2% white milk and a cup of coffee.

Good point! Although we should also watch our total daily sugar intake, whether natural sugar or added sugar, as well. Thanks for the feedback, Jay!

One problem is that the food label for sugar does not distinguish between added sugars and natural sugar like fructose in raisns.

I think I need to print this out and bring it to the store with me! Gotta wonder what a Weetabix is…

Thanks for pointing that out, Eric! Total’s Raisin Bran cereal was No. 3 on the list, but when I got rid of the extra Wheaties listing, I also added Total Honey Almond Flax and Total Whole Grain. Hope that helps!

You listed Wheaties twice, and where is my Total?

Interesting information!
