Starting the day with a bowl of healthy cereal is the norm for many but are they as heathy as claimed?
No, say experts. Many of the big brands’ claims of being high in fibre, packed with wholegrains and fortified with countless added vitamins and minerals aren’t true.
Nutionists say many contain high amounts of the blood-pressure-raising ingredients, are laden with sugar and contain very little protein or fibre.
Rhiannon Lambert, lead nutritionist and best-selling author of The Fibre Formula says that the cereals have pushed eggs, porridge and yogurt aside but are popular because they’re convenient and affordable.
