IS your breakfast a choccy horror show?
More than 14million people tuck into a bowl of cereal every morning – but behind each bite can be a shocking amount of sugar.

Food giant Nestle was branded “irresponsible” recently by ten health campaign groups for its “misleading nutritional claims” after releasing a KitKat cereal.
While Nestle insists the claims are “wildly unfair”, 100g of KitKat cereal contains 420 calories, 10.9g of fat and 24.7g of sugar – the equivalent of THREE squares of a chocolate bar.
And its not the only offender.
Josh Saunders finds the sugariest chocolate cereals per 100g by equating that amount to cubes from a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk, which each contain 7.5g of sugar.
