How fantastic that the media – hopefully putting aside their loyalty to the ever powerful wielders of the money, the advertisers – is starting to have the guts to come out and make such a powerful statement.

Sadly, having been conned for so long the general public needs SHOCK AND AWE to make them sit up, listen and hopefully work out for themselves that what they’ve been told and sold all these years, is in fact very flawed!

The food industry is going to keep, putting Sugar into processed foods for as long as it can get away with it… and with the aid of the sugar industry, finding new and more ingenious ways to divert our attention from that fact.

You have to ask how a muesli can get away with ticking a ‘Fructose Friendly’ box on their label, when items 3&4 on their ingredients list are brown sugar and raw sugar – followed by glucose.  There’s another of these new tricks – put in lots of different types of sugars so that you don’t need to name Sugar at the head of the ingredients list!

Simply, it’s going to be through the efforts of those that are informed enough to be fighting the fight against sugar and the media daring to take the story to the general public, that the truth is going to get through.

Now, breakfast’s our thing and I thought it’d be interesting to have a look at the Sugar content in some of the other popular brands – see for yourself!

Oh and be watching 60 Minutes!
