[blparent] Healthy foods- cereal

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Hmmm... We keep Special-K almond-vanilla cereal around, and in a 3/4
serving cup, there's only 110 calories, 1.5 g. fat, 25 g. carbs and 9 g.
sugars. This is a pretty healthy cereal unless one starts eating
original, non-iced shredded wheat, grin.

Sincerely,

What's wrong with Nutella?  I've never tried it, but it's advertised on
TV 
as a healthy food--as much as you can believe what's advertised anyway.
The 
problem with trying to choose healthy foods for me and my family is that

something is billed as great for you one month, and horrible the next.
For 
example, Special K is touted as a healthy food that can help with weight

management, but if you look at the nutrition label, it's got nearly as
much 
sugar as Frosted Flakes.  And Raisin Bran, which you would think of as 
healthy, has more sugar than most of the no-no kid cereals because the 
raisins are coated in sugar.  What's up with that?  Raisins are sweet
and 
good by themselves.  It gets so frustrating, trying to keep ahead of
what's 
healthy and what's the latest scam.
