I was having cornflakes and when I checked the sugar levels, I realised that 33% of it is just sugar (sucrose). Not sure how much total sugar is there in the form of other sugars. No wondpEr kids love it!

A bit of sugar is good and some carbs are needed. Loading something with sugar is just not healthy.

@pitstop , yes Carbohydrates, Proteins and fats are main nutrients required by the body! In Corn flakes we normally have 10% Sugars in the form of Carbohydrates (total Carbohydrates are 84%) which in itself is a good source of sugar! In addition to this some more sugar is added to bring up the sugar content more higher!

That's good. Cornflakes can be healthy if they were not loaded with so much sugar.
