He was pulling your leg. Read the ingredient panel for yourself -

[FONT=HelveticaNeueLTStd-Roman, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]It's full of sugar and artificial ingredients. The best option is oatmeal. Just plain, regular oatmeal. Nothing fancy. No additives, no fillers, no preservatives.

If you find oatmeal boring, try toping it with fruit, nuts, seeds, cinnamon etc. [/FONT]

Wow, look at those ingredients^^^^^

Terrible food option. There are much better carb sources like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, quinoa, and rice.

people who think cereal are healthy are the ones who believe the commercials on tv. the ingredients are right there in black and white. cereals are processed and routinely contain tons of sugars, flours, and processed junk
