WE MAKE BREAKFAST BETTER

It‘s a common myth that lowering sugar in a food lowers the GI. You can’t predict the GI of a breakfast cereal from the amount of sugar in it. In fact, some high sugar cereals have a low GI and some low sugar cereals have a high GI. For example, Corn Flakes have a high GI (77) and FROSTIES® have a low GI (55).

No. Artificial sweeteners don’t work in the same way as sugars, so they are not typically used in breakfast cereals. One way we replace the sugars taken out of our cereals is by increasing the amount of whole grains, like wheat and rice.
