Studies Have Confirmed: Sugar, Models, and Clowns
Some health studies make headlines and they seem quite shocking and sad, like this one from CNN: Tweens Challenged by Grown-Up Malady: Breast Cancer. Others bring out my inner fourth grader, and my response to them is sophisticated "no duh." But stories are often more complicated than their headlines, and it is nice to have scientific studies confirm a few assumptions.
10 Cereals With 8 or More Grams of Fiber
We all could use a little extra fiber in our diets, since it's recommended that women eat between 25 and 30 grams a day. Not only does fiber keep you regular, but it can also help lower your cholesterol and prevent heart disease and certain cancers. Breakfast is a wonderful time to fill up on fiber-rich foods, so check out which cereals contain eight or more grams of fiber per serving.
Food Review: Bear Naked Cereals
Bear Naked Fit Granola is a staple in my house, along with other cereals, since I like to mix cereals to reap the nutritional benefits of them all. So when I heard this company was making two new varieties of cereal — Banana Nut and Cranberry Raisin— I had to try them.

Food Review: Dorset Cereals
I was tired of my usual cereals for breakfast, so I perused the shelves for a new one and found Super Cranberry, Cherry & Almond Dorset Cereals (about $5).
The creative packaging definitely caught my eye. I loved that you could see the dried cherries and cranberries floating around with flakes of cereal and seeds.
Food Review: Me & Goji Customized Cereal
I start every day with breakfast — it's the most important meal of the day — so cereal is a staple at my house. We mix types of cereals here to create personalized blends, so when I read about customized, artisanal cereal blends from Me & Goji, I was more than intrigued. The cereal makers were kind enough to indulge my curiosity and sent me a couple of their favorite creations, plus one of my own — FitSugar's Berry Trifecta featuring raspberries, blueberries, and mulberries.
Cereal Wars: Mainstream Vs. Healthy Version
I grew up on mainstream cereals like Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms. I'm amazed I learned anything in school on a breakfast like that. As a label reader, I know they're made with tons of sugar, corn syrup, and enriched flour, so now I only buy healthy cereals made with whole grains.
Healthy Recipe: Make Your Own Muesli
Muesli is a traditional breakfast cereal made from rolled oats, fruit, and nuts. Since it's full of such wholesome ingredients, it's really healthy. You can buy it prepackaged, but I prefer to make my own so I can add in extra tasty ingredients that not only add more vitamins and fiber, but enhance the flavor as well.
Diet Tip: Mix Your Cereals
I'm a fan of cereal for breakfast because it's quick, inexpensive, and a great way to add whole grains to my diet. The combination of the good carbs and fiber from the cereal, plus the calcium and protein from the milk make it a healthy breakfast choice. If you look at the nutritional info of cereals, they're all so different.
