Some U.S. cereals more than half sugar:reprot(Reuters)

According to "Some U.S. cereals more than half sugar:report"(Reuters), some breakfast cereals marketed to U.S. children are more than half sugar by weight and many get only fair scores on nutritional value, Consumer Reports said on Wednesday.




My reaction:

Many people have cereals with fruits and milk for breakfast because they are healthier than greasy food. They are fortified with high fiber, rich mineral and vitamin so cereals are popular among those who want to have good shapes and balanced diets. In addition, many advertisements and experts' encouragements about the advantages of eating grains of all kinds boost the cereals. As a result, cereals become the essentials for westerners' daily lives. However, the news really astonishes the public for it stroke the deep-rooted concept in our mind. It is also unreasonable that some brands have more sugar and sodium when formulated for the U.S. market than the same brands have when sold in other countries. In my opinion, the brand companies should not cheat their customers and it is unfair for Americans to digest more sugar from the same products, especially for children under the development.




Nowadays, with the significance of healthy diets people pay heed to the calories and the carbohydrate they take every meal. They try hard to assimilate nutritious food enough even if they are on the job. Cereals are always on the list and considered a good choice. After the outbreak of the event, all the related companies have to do is to reformulate the recipe and the nutrient elements to re-establish people's confidence toward cereals. In this way, the trend of dietary fiber will be more circulated and the decline of some chronic diseases may be expected.(270 words)
