compared the effect of a cereal breakfast to an egg breakfast on satiety and calorie intake and found that people were less hungry after the eggs and consumed fewer calories over the course of the day than the cereal eaters.Sugary foods also impact the reward center of the brain, causing a release of the feel-good chemicals dopamine and serotonin that researchers reporting in the journal
say elicits addiction-like cravings. Over time, consuming too much sugar can increase your risk of such health problems as obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cancer, and heart disease.The more helpful question may be what's too much sugar in cereal? The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to 24 grams for most women and 36 grams for most men. For reference, four grams of sugar equal one teaspoon.
The EWG study focused on cereals marketed toward children, but many adult cereals are just as sugary. Kellogg's Raisin Bran, for example, contains 18 grams of sugar that more than the 10 grams in Trix, surprising since, after all, "Trix are for kids!" What makes cold breakfast cereal doubly problematic for your health is the fact that, besides the added sugars, most cereals are made with refined grains, which have fewer nutrients and less fiber than those made with whole grains. Fiber in your food slows the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream, reducing the need for that insulin spike.
