Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in saturated fat and cholesterol may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
One serving of the cereal has 3 grams of dietary fiber. That’s equivalent to 10% of the FDA-recommended daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Compare dietary fiber in Cinnamon Life to Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats cereal.
Sugars
Each serving of this cereal has 10 grams of total sugars. It’s important to note that all 10 grams of the sugars are added sugars.
SUMMARY OF TOTAL SUGARS PER SERVING
Added Sugars
Dietary Guidelines set by the FDA recommend Americans should limit the amount of calories derived from added sugars to 10% or less of total calories.
A key reason for this recommendation is because added sugars provide “empty calories,” which refers to calories that provided little to no important nutrients.
The 40 calories derived from added sugars, exceeds that recommended threshold. One serving has a 20% daily value (based on 2,000 calories per day).
