Sugar
Special K Low Fat Granola = Healthy Food Failure!

Ok…so why am I putting this in the failure category. Let me start by saying I was super excited to get this cereal. Since I’m a new dad and all, I’ve been Mr. Coupon as of late. I snatched these for $1.00 after coupons and store specials combined. Without even looking I get home, read the ingredients and start to cry. Please read ingredients below:
Ingredients
WHOLE GRAIN OATS, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, OAT BRAN, RICE, HONEY, SOLUBLE WHEAT FIBER, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, SOY GRITS, MOLASSES, CORN FLOUR, NATURAL FLAVOR, SALT, ACACIA GUM, SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, OAT FIBER, EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, MALT FLAVORING, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, NIACINAMIDE, REDUCED IRON, BHT (PRESERVATIVE), PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), VITAMIN A PALMITATE, FOLIC ACID, FERROUS FUMARATE, CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, VITAMIN D, VITAMIN B12.
There are 4 ingredients I try to stay away from and 2 of them are a NO, NO!
To make matters worse granola is a simple snack. Toasted oats with a touch of vanilla, cane, cinnamon and that is it. It is marketed as low fat, but with the sugar & HFC…it is a complete turn off.
