Every box on that shelf says it's a good start to the day. We checked the labels so you don't have to — seven famous cereals, ranked purely on the sugar in your bowl, safest first, worst saved for last.
Two biscuits of Shredded Wheat carry around zero point two grams of sugar — a fraction of a teaspoon, next to nothing. If you want the safest bowl on the shelf, this is it.
Two wheat biscuits, around thirty eight grams, carry roughly one point seven grams of sugar — under half a teaspoon. Still one of the gentler starts to the day, even before the milk goes on.
A thirty gram bowl of corn flakes carries around two point four grams of sugar — just over half a teaspoon. Plain and simple, but not quite sugar-free.
A thirty gram bowl of oat cereal loops carries around four and a half grams of sugar — just over a teaspoon. They look innocent, but they're carrying more than the flakes below them.
A thirty gram bowl of Special K carries around five grams of sugar — well over a teaspoon. It's marketed on the scales, but the sugar content tells a different story.
A thirty gram bowl of Coco Pops carries around ten and a half grams of sugar — that's over two and a half teaspoons before the milk even turns brown.
A thirty gram bowl of Frosties carries around eleven grams of sugar — nearly three teaspoons, stirred into a bowl marketed straight at children. They're grrreat, as the tiger says — just know what's in the bowl.
Frosties
Frosties carry around eleven grams of sugar a bowl — nearly three teaspoons before the milk goes in. Swap to Shredded Wheat or plain Weetabix for a fraction of that, same shelf, same aisle. (answer generated by SugarCoach, the AI coach)
