Yes, it's amazing when you read the box labels and see how much sugar is actually hidden in some cereals - Rice Krispies is a perfect example - that don't necessarily taste sweet and are not coated with sugar.

Very good information in this article! It really makes a lot of sence. For some cereals the corporations might try using a sugar substitue that is healthy (if that's possible) as most kids like the sweetness of foods.

Sugar can all around be dangerous...even the substitute which can be more harmful than natural sugar. It is best to really minimize our sugar intake. Our brain only needs 2 tblsp. a day... the rest get turned into fat!
