Does cereal have sugar

Answer 1

Salt is used in many things.

Im guessing it is used to help the cereal rise when being cooked, also to bring out the sweetnesss in the cereal. Salt is commonly used to bring sweet out of things.

EX: Chocoloate chip cookies.

Answer 2

Sugar is added to many foods not only to sweeten the taste but to improve texture. Sugar is somewhat preservative as well; for instance, adding sugar to cut up fresh berries will keep the berries several days longer than without sugar. Processed food is likely to contain higher levels of sugar than home cooked foods because sugar is an inexpensive way to increase the weight and volume of the food while making inferior food more palatable. Unfortunately, the sugar increases calories without improving nutrition.

Answer 4

Alot of cereals say 'low n fat' or 'fat free' this is deceiving the consumer. Sugar should be limited and gives us only energy which will not last very long, like a short term fix. A cereal should be low in sugar (5g or less per 100g). If a cereal is high in sugar it will be 22.5g or more sugar per 100g, we will not benefit from these cereals. Bran flakes and other low sugar cereals such as weetabix (which is also low in salt and fat) are a better choice, obviously the chocolate and golden syrup weetabix will affect the quality, they will have more sugar in them. Weetabix will release energy slowly to keep you fuller for longer.
