I quit eating the sugary kids' cereals a long time ago when I was trying to lose weight, realizing they were packed full of sugar and weren't very healthy. I kept Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Rice Chex, Special K and Raisin Bran. Just this year I added Cheerios Multi-Bran to my cereal list. However, when I went on http://cerealfacts.org, I was shocked to find that NONE of the cereals I eat are very healthy and that dad's were way higher up on the list!
I spent about a half hour plugging in different cereals to make a list of which were more nutritious that we could start eating. (Even Gorilla Munch (organic) is listed as being more nutritious than the ones I currently eat!)
What kind of cereal to you like? Do you think it's nutritious? I bet you will be surprised at what you find if you check that site. Here is a screen shot I took of the top 10 most nutritious:

Lin: Good for Joe! I like raisins in my oatmeal too.
imelda: Sorry if I took away your enjoyment of your cereal.

I would be interested to know, about any studies that have been done, in regards to IQ on a full and empty stomach.
little thai lady, is it true that you survive on a dollar a day! LOL!
My whole family eats shredded wheat nearly everyday, my grandfather introduced me to it when I was quite young, and I've always loved it. Thanks for letting me know that it's one of the most healthy cereals!
Wow! Here I thought I was doing good eating Special K. I actually like shredded wheat. Your list will give me something else to eat now! I get bored eating the same thing all the time.
I love Shredded Wheat. I also like Grape Nuts. I usually don't eat breakfast (just coffee), but sometimes I have yogurt with Grape Nuts sprinkled in.
Thanks for the cereal facts website! Good link!
Thank you for bringing up this topic about cereals. It is one of my concern really. BTW thanks for dropping by my site. Hope you have a nice day.
We don't eat cereal. It's expensive and mostly not very good for you. Anything that is really tasty is usually not good for you. Funny how that works.
Have a terrific day. :)
I love frosted mini wheats! I also like cheerios, but usually eat hot oatmeal.
