Kids' Breakfast Cereals Have Gotten Even Unhealthier
There's a lot of emphasis in trying to get kids to eat and drink healthier options . . . but apparently, that does not include "the most important meal of the day."
According to a study published by the American Medical Association, kids' breakfast cereals have gotten even LESS healthy over the past 15 years.
They looked at the newly-launched cereals between 2010 and 2023, and found significant increases in fat, sodium, and sugar . . . and decreases in protein and fiber content.
Compared to 2010, total fat per serving increased 33.6% . . . sodium content increased by 32.1% . . . and sugar by 10.9%.
In fact, the average amount of added sugar is so high that a single serving of children's cereal is more than 45% of the American Heart Association's total daily recommended limit for children. In hour #1 of them being awake.
That seems surprising, since everyone has known for decades that cereals marketed to children are sugary and unhealthy . . . but apparently, companies have discovered that parents are reluctant to fight a healthy food battle in the morning.
And check this out: The study didn't include the classic stuff . . . they only considered 1,200 children's cereals that were newly-launched in that timeframe. Yes, there were almost 100 new cereals every year, in those 13 years.
They did include existing brands that re-launched with a new flavor . . . new formulation . . . or even new packaging. But still.
