Stop giving Kelloggs and Nestle cereals to children
Many parents in India think giving cereals to children is a good idea and they are healthy food items. No so at all.
A consumer survey looked at 19 products by Kellogg’s and Nestle/General Mills from 29 countries for comparison and found the SUGAR content ranged from 57g to 8g per 100g, a difference of 86%,whilst the SALT content ranged from 1.93gto 0.08g per 100g, a difference of 96%across all cereals. Currently the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that adults should restrict their salt content to 5g a day and free sugars intake to 25g a day (Ref 2). The cereal with the highest sugar content was Kellogg’s Honey Smacks sold in Mexico which contained 17g sugar per 30g serving – that’s over 4 teaspoons in one bowl- equivalent to nearly 2 and a half Krispy Kreme doughnuts. more

As far as possible, one should try and procure food items at their basic form and prepare at home rather than going for already processed/ready to eat food from outside.. They contain lot of preservatives, sugars, salt etc which are harmful for health. more
