What nutrients are found in cereaal?

First I think you mean cereal... Anyways, it really depends on the brand and everything. You can get fiber and many different vitamins, but if it's processed EVEN IF IT SAYS IT HAS NUTRIENTS, the nutrients can be completely lost. Try and buy %100 organic and whole wheat cereal. Some brands add nutrients which is fine, but check for CHEMICALS. (ingredients that sound like chemicals or are super hard to pronounce) So a lot of nutrients are found in healthy cereal, but cereals like Lucky Charms are just terrible with no nutrients. The most common thing is fiber in cereal.

Why are some cereals fortified?

Because nutrients that would usually be found in the cereal grains are lost during the process that turns the grains into breakfast cereal. So once the grain has been turned into breakfast cereal, a coating of nutrients is sprayed back on, in order to regain it's nutritional value. Also, fortification makes breakfast cereals appear healthier than they sometimes actually are, so it's good for marketing. Actually the above answer is completely ridiculous. Number one, if you look at the nutrients in the grains that are in cereal and compare them to the nutrients that the cereal are fortified with, they're completely different. These aren't nutrients that are "lost during the process" in any way shape or form, that is 100% untrue. Secondly, while it may be "good for marketing," they are not making the cereals "appear healthier than they sometimes actually are." All of the good and bad nutrition information is listed right there on the box. It's not some sly trick by the cereal companies, if it says 25% of your daily vitamin C, then that's exactly what it has in it. If it has a lot of sugar, it says that too, right on the same panel. I would like to clarify - by "lost in the process" I was referring to the process of refining the grains into cereal, which (for most breakfast cereals) involves removing the germ and the husk from the grain. These are the parts of the cereal grain where most of the nutrients are kept. Perhaps "lost" gave the wrong impression. Also, I appreciate you opinion on "good for marketing", and that all the ingredients and nutritional analysis are on the box label. However, a cereal company is quite likely to market a cereal on it's "high calcium content" or "as a good source of folic acid" rather than the negatives - "high in sugar" etc... Hence fortification enhances marketing opportunities.
