Some packaged cereals are excellent; others are simply junk food. Commonsense tells us that if a food is brightly-colored, sugar-frosted, chocolate-flavored, then it probably is something we might sensibly eat occasionally for a treat - not something we should eat every day.

To discover how healthy any packaged foods are, you need to read the ingredients and nutritional information listed on the label.

This will tell you, for example, what percentage of sugar, fat and carbohydrate make up the food. There should be a per-serve listing, and a per-weight listing: go by the per-weight listing, which tells you exactly what you need to know.

Then you can compare the label with other brands, and other varieties in the same brand, to see which is the lowest in the two main groups you need to keep a low intake of - fat and sugar.
