Kellogg's Corn Flakes
Great aren't they......
![]() Over the decades there must have been hundreds of breakfast cereals made.......any decent sized shop probably has a couple of dozen varieties........ But no one has ever bettered the simple Corn Flake......... a bowl of corn flakes with cold milk..........breakfast cereal perfection ! any other fans ? you can keep all your processed sugary chocolaty cinnamon and honey this and that with an alphabet of additives........just give me corn flakes ! |

They have sugar in them. Second ingredient I believe is sugar.
They're not all that healthy really. They're fortified with vitamins and minerals because the manufacturing process removes all the natural nutrition from the maize. |

There's nothing healthy about Corn Flakes and cereal in general. It's a full of sugar and GMO. I don't have a problem with people eating cereals, we all eat and drink many things that we know are bad for our health, myself included.
What I do mind however is when people opt to eat cereals as a healthy option, and they really think it's healthy if they eat cearals for brekkie instead of say fry ups. If you like eating cereals, go ahead but don't fool yourself thinking you are eating healthier 'cause that's not the case. Same goes for low-fat alternatives of various snacks and drinks. |

A much better way to get cereals is with muesli and it is very easy to get muesli without added sugar or even make your own up. Low fat alternatives as you say also often contain extra sugar though this isn't always the case so read the label. |

The sugar in the fruit and nut muesli may be from the dried fruit so is not a problem Many mueslis have added sugar so you need to read the label to find out.

No, the sugar you use at home is processed, it is not natural. Natural sugar while too much is still not good for you, it is believed to be better for you than the stuff you stick on your cornflakes or the stuff they stick on your cornflakes.

Well according to all the research evidence. There is a world of difference between eating refined sugars and eating sugars from whole foods, the same can be said of oils where taking the oils in say seeds is much preferable to refined from a bottle.

I was after a link really.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21621801 There is lots on the internet but you do need to go for proper studies, there is a lot of nonsense particularly on low carb websites where they either don't give a reference or cherry pick a small part of a larger study. |

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes! When I was having chemotherapy they were the only thing I could eat without wanting to retch. Doused in skimmed milk they more or less kept me going. I still like them but only eat rarely as I know they have a huge amount of sugar in them.

I think they taste like cardboard, but my mum often eats them for breakfast. I think she puts sweetener on hers.

Has anyone tried changing to an alternative "brand" of cornflakes? I have tried a couple of times over the years and I always end up changing back. I began to suspect that "K" have added something addictive to their recipe.

Love a bowl of soggy cornflakes; haven't had some for ages. As a treat I add a light sprinkling of sugar.
Love soggy Rice Crispies too. Though, I much prefer my Frosties crunchie. |

Need a bit of sugar with your cereal to get you hyped up ready for a day's work!
