Try getting them to eat a Museli product without added sugar/salt. Chop a banana over it.
There can't be too much bad in cornflakes either if you mix that in. Tesco do value versions of both.
One thing I've noticed from looking at the labels is that sometimes the value product is healthier than the so called healthy version.
I seem to recall reading somewhere recently that most brands of cornflakes are high in sugar and salt.There can't be too much bad in cornflakes either if you mix that in.
Um, hate to tell you, but ripe bananas are about 27% sugar by weight.

They do have other advantages of course in terms of vitamins and minerals.
According to this bananas are actually 75% water and 12.5% sugar by weight. Admittedly a fair chunk of the carbs are sugar but there's also fibre. The sugar presumably isn't all the highly refined variety used in the cereals. Bananas are healthy I hope you'll agree.
Just looked at my box of cornflakes and it is about 30% sugar which is disturbing.
It's only gut bacteria that have to do more work!I'm clearly straying off my expertise here but I've reliably read that the body has to do a bit more work processing starch than simple carbs (sugars). There isn't much starchy food in typical breakfast cereal so I'd classify all of the starch as good going by the daily recommended amounts. Also could you bow to the importance of the fibre content too
Isn't there a big difference (in terms of metabolising them for example) between sucrose and fructose? Is the latter considered "better" in general? Lower GI and all that...
