No wonder my nephew likes Fruit Loops
Article: The 10 Sugariest Cereals
I noticed Fruit Loops high sugar content a few months back. Since my mom/sister tend to keep them on hand, I give my nephew mostly Cheerios when he asks for Fruit Loops for breakfast, mixing the two cereal together.
While they compare the sugar in Fruits Loops to the amount in a Twinkie, they don't compare the fat, which is like uber concentrated sugar, or the vitamin & mineral content. When you take those into account, then a cup of Fruit Loops is certainly a better breakfast than a Twinkie.
Calorie Counter was a fun website I found while verifying the info in the article. The Kashi cereal I got on mark down had a surprising amount of sugar too. (Not nearly as much as Fruit Loops, but about 8x the sugar in Cheerios.)
