Not to mention the negative effects of that sugar on your children’s teeth!

Sugar is white death! There seems to be so much evidence linking it to diabetes. It weaks havoc in all areas of your body affecting your brain health. I read recently that it creates a lot of acidity in your body. The excess acidity leaches calcium from your bones to reduce it.

I am guilty of this. Sugar is most likely going to close your appetite to good solid foods.

@milkmen:disqus I totally agree with your comments regarding the average American diet, especially with kids today. We never really had many snacks in the house growing up. When we did they were healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables, and rice cakes.

I’d rather give my son a shot of tequila for breakfast than sugar marinated flakes, he would at least be more social on the school bus. In all seriousness, even if you withhold Froster Flakes from them, they still get introduced to these processed junk breakfasts by friends. So challenging.

Great post! Thank God I stopped feeding my kids with these sugary cereal long time ago. I am still amazed at the number of people still doing this these days. Articles like these should be written and shared with as many people as possible.

We have never given our son sugary cereal. He doesn’t eat much with milk but loves to eat Kix and Cheerios dry for a snack or even a dessert Sometimes he eats Rice Krispies and does so without sugar added on top. Those are times when I do it too. Its not as bad as you’d think.

Sugar is a drug for sure… fruit is the way to go!

Wow! Sooo much sugar. Maybe ADD is not the only cause of the hyperactivity in school children today.

This is a horrifying reality. Parents are just so complacent with meals and think its convenient to shove a bowl of sugar in front of their child’s face. When, really, they could shove a bowl of something healthful in front of their face just as easily.Thanks for the fascinating article.

Good solution. Mix in Cheerios or other low sugar brand to dilute the sugary ones.

My daughter, like many other kids, loves sugary cereals and when she asks for them she knows she can have them but they have to be mixed in with cheerios never by itself, which is fine with her.
