General Mills to Reduce Sugar in Cereals + Coupon

I have some wonderful news and it can be very beneficial to those who love cereal. Everyone knows that cereal taste better if it's sweetened or have some type of fruit added to it. My kids don't eat cereal unless I add sugar or fruit to it. I found another alternative by using Vanilla Soy Milk as it has a bit of sweetness to it and my kids really don't know the difference. But now that I have found out the General Mills has reduced the sugars contained in their cereal it looks like I may not have to use alternatives for now. Below you will find more information about General Mills and their commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

• Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
• Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
• More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.
