Cereal is a basic food that provides plentiful¹ nutrients².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.

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徕的那些麦片食品。

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 flakes³ and shredded⁴ 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.

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。仔细查看一下标签就可以知道它们的成分里糖和油的含量很高，事实上，甚至高过许多孩子们所吃的品牌含量。
