General Mills Cereal Product Review and Giveaway

I am so excited to see that General Mills is going to a reduce sugar option for their cereals. That is great for a mom who is trying to keep a bunch of sugary foods out of the house and for someone who is trying to lose weight.

Note: Did you know that people that eat ready to eat cereals consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? That these cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal one of the top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

* Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.

* Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.

* More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.
