The Effects of Consuming Cereal Every Morning

Consuming cereal every morning, especially high-sugar varieties like fruity pebbles, can lead to detrimental health effects. One cup of fruity pebbles contains 18 grams of sugar, equivalent to 4.5 teaspoons. However, considering that the main ingredient, rice flour, has a high glycemic index, the actual sugar content can be as high as nine teaspoons per cup. Consuming multiple cups of cereal in one sitting can result in a staggering 36 teaspoons of sugar, leading to blood sugar spikes, excessive hunger, tiredness, and potential harm to various organs.
