Lucky Charms happens to be a favorite cereal in this household- I always felt bad about my daughter eating 'sugar cereal' thinking that I was starting her off on the wrong foot! Well no worries now, I have some good news!

We´re excited to share some great news for cereal lovers. This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets. Other cereal benefits: Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets. Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today. More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures. Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

I'm definitely excited to try this new cereal and get rid of my mommy guilt!
