Honey Nut Cheerios used to be good 20 years ago when it used to actually have detectable amounts of honey in it. Now you will be lucky to find a trace of any nut or honey in it. The cheerios used to look similar to regular Cheerios, but now they laced with the same crappy refined, white, icing type sugar you found on Frosted Flakes. As far as I am concerned they are Frosted Cheerios and it is false advertising to call them Honey Nut Cheerios. If you notice in their tv commercials, they refer to it as Honey Nut ‘flavoured’ Cheerios.

The quality of this cereal has been downgraded, even though it is made with 100% oats now. I sent General Mills and e-mail about my concerns and they have not replied.

Bear that is a very reasonable and plain english explanation… thanks so much for sharing that! I had gotten kinda goofy when I was reading about lipids and carbs and how they equate… but now it all makes sense.

Regarding the "Other Carbs" this reveals the number of grams of complex carbohydrates, not including fiber or sugars (simple cards), but including non-digestible additives, such as stabilizers and thickening agents. As a general guide, the greater the discrepancy between "total carbohydrates" and "sugar," on the label, the more nutritious carbohydrates the food contains. This means that the package contains more of the food's natural sugars than added sugars. The closer the number of grams of "sugar" is to the "total carbohydrates" in each serving, the closer the food gets to the junk quality. Bear Silber's last blog post..The London Trip

Actually, most nutritional information is fudged. That’s actually the way the government makes it because of how they view a “serving”.

I’ve still got more research to do on it, but I’ll have more on how they have screwed the pooch on this one.

Totally makes sense! Which is why I have to wonder if maybe they're fudging their nutrition information just a little. . . Girl, Dislocated's last blog post..Am I totally incapable of writing short posts?

Bear- That is actually some interesting trivia. I’ve always found it interesting how the same people will voice a large number of animated characters, and I wouldn’t have a clue. Maybe that’s just me though… the hearing isn’t what it used to be.

Miss Ann- Let's face it... the nuts are just attracted to honey. This has been a good season for the guests... and believe it or not... it's going to get better. Geeky- The Queen Bee definitely rocks. To actually agree to be on the internet like that... well... she's a trooper. Girl, Dislocated- The amazing thing about HNC is that while it isn't that high in sugar, it is more than sweet enough... while not being too sweet. Does that make sense? Yes, her expression and her little outbursts like where the "other carbs" goes rocked. She was really great.
