General Mills Reduces Sugars, Adds Nutrients to Cereals {Cereal Giveaway} [CLOSED]
10:40 AM Posted by Deanna - Mommygaga
Great News! General Mills has announced a commitment to reduce the levels of sugars found in their cereals. Cereals advertised to kids under 12 years of age will have sugar grams in the single digits. They will also be increasing the amount of vitamins, whole grains and nutrients found in each box. My family tends to be avid cereal lovers, so this is good news for our health.
Here is some more information, provided by General Mills and My Blog Spark:
Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a 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.
For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness.
General Mills has offered to give me free cereal vouchers for this post, and I would love to share them with you! The winner of this giveaway will receive three vouchers for free General Mills cereal.
