Say “cheerio” to sugary cereals.

对甜麦片说“拜拜”吧！
Cereal is a basic food that provides plentiful nutrients. Not as good for you are cereals cooked in oil, sprinkled with sugar and coated with frosting —which describes just about all of the cereals pitched at children.
Get back to basics. If you look hard enough, you’ll find at least a handful of sugar-free or low-sugar cereals like oatmeal, bran flakes and shredded wheat. Beware, by the way, of “natural” cereals. A close look at their labels reveals high sugar and oil content, even higher, in fact, than many kids’ brands.
麦片是一种提供人体充分营养的基本食物。但是它如果经过油炸，洒上糖和包上糖霜后，就不是什么好食物了。――而这些正是向孩子们大肆招手的那些麦片食品。
咱们回到最基本面来说吧！如果你看得够仔细的话，就可以发现市面上有许多无糖或低糖的麦片食品，像燕麦片、麦麸和碎麦片等。对了，要特别当心所谓“天然的”麦片食品。仔细查看一下卷标就可以知道它们的成份里糖和油的含量很高，事实上，甚至高过许多孩子们所吃的厂牌含量。
