This week Room Two have been researching just how healthy cereals really are. We became interested when Lennard brought an article from The Press called 'Site Lifts Lid on Cereal Contents'.
Our main question is how healthy is your cereal but we have also been investigating how much sugar, fibre, fat, energy and salt is in it as well.
So far we have investigated 18 cereals and only one has been healthy and that is Weet-Bix. Three have been unhealthy they are Milo cereal, Light & Right and Crunchy Nut. The rest were moderately healthy. We had different ways of finding out how healthy cereals are, they are:
Fat: Low-less than 1.5 gms\100 gms Medium-1.5-5 gms\ 100 gms High- 5+ gms\100 gms
Sugar: Low 15 gms\100 gms Medium-15.1-30 gms\100 gms High-30+ gms\100 gms
Fibre: Low-less than 5 gms\100 gms Medium-5-10 gms\100 gms High-10+\100 gms
Salt: Low-less than 300 mgs\100 gms Medium-300-450 mgs\100 gms High-400+\100 gms
