What health benefits? Sugar is incredibly addictive (I struggled with it for decades). Cereal companies know to use compelling marketing, add some fiber and niacin to claim it's "healthy" and enough people will get addicted.

Interestingly Mexico is leading in many ways to address it by prohibiting cartoons on sugary cereals (and more health warnings on labeling). Kelloggs has been fighting it in court.

You know there is more cereal than cinnamon toast crunch right


Are you suggesting "healthy cereal" exists? Even all bran cereal contains 6g sugar per 100g.


6g per 100g is totally fine.


Yet a lot of cereal is sweetened despite appearances and having a bunch of carbs (corn flakes, wheaties, etc.) has similar consequences.
