Hello everyone! Here I am again. I know most of you out there don’t want to get fat by eating this kind of food. But it’s problem free. We all know that more than you eat any kind of food is harmful. Eat right and you will have no worries at all.
Who’s Afraid of Sugar?
Most mothers know that sugar is the enemy no. 1 of healthy teeth. And so the question: isn’t sugar an all important ingredient of most ready-to-eat cereals? The answer is yes, especially of the pre-sweetened kind of cereals. But contrary to popular beliefs, cereals are only a minor contributor of sugar to children’s diets. Only less that 4% of the children’s total daily intake of sugar actually comes from cereals; the rest from other foodstuffs. Research has also shown that children’s total sugar intake from cereals at breakfast is not much heavier than on non-cereal days; in fact, it is even slightly lower.
Why be afraid of such sweet stuff as sugar anyway? There are actually many kinds of sugar, aside from what we serve on the table to sweeten found. Some sugar occur naturally in foods. And regardless of whether a sugar is added to food or whether it is naturally occurring, it is used the same way by the body.
Sugar does contribute to the development of tooth decay, that’s fact. However, a lot of other factors are at play here. It is not the amount of sugar, but the frequency of consumption. The incidence of tooth decay is also influenced by the form in which sugar is taken (sticky or liquid), the amount of liquid consumed with the sugar-laden food and other dietary factors.
And since breakfast cereals are taken with milk 86% of the time, they hardly contribute to tooth decay because milk helps wash the cereal and the sugar off the teeth. And to top it all the mineral and protein content of cereals may even help neutralize the acid that causes cavities.
