14 grams of sugar - more than a quarter of what you should have in a day. WTF??? Really? Just how much sugar do you think a person would normally eat for the rest of the day? This is just a thinly disguised hatchet job. Just to put things in perspective, eating a quarter of your recommended daily allowance of sugar for breakfast is probably LESS than most people eat for the rest of the day. While I will grant that we should ALL cut back on our sugar intake, this is not at all unreasonable for a sweet cereal for breakfast. You just lost any credibility that you had with me!!!
An adult shouldn't consume more than 50-60g of sugar a day at most (according to the WHO). 14 grams of sugar from a singel meal is a lot, sweet breakfast cereals aren't healthy or a good breakfast to begin with so I don't understand why you're so surprised by this. Eating less than 60g of sugar a day isn't even hard, I generally consume less than 20g a day, often times less.
@@Malakith 14 out of an allowed 60? Why should that even be brought up? I don't go out of my way to avoid sugar, but I also rarely eat much of it or foods containing sugar. Why should such a small portion of one's daily allowance be a cause for alarm? That is less than 25% of RDA.
