I just learned that my favorite “healthy” cereal – Life – is not so healthy.
It has yellow artificial dye in it!!
Why? It’s brown! I expect wheat/grain cereals to be bland looking. How much blander would it be without yellow 5 and yellow 6 in it?! I am so disappointed!
It also contains BHT which is another ingredient that we steer clear of.
I’ve always assumed it was a good-for-you cereal so I never checked the box. I was pleased to see that they use sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup but the dye and BHT are no-go’s for us.
So, I set out to find a HEALTHY substitute. So far, all I’ve tried is Cascadian Farms. It’s good but it’s no substitute. Bummer.
I’m not giving up.
I have found super-tasting, healthy substitutes for Cheetos, Oreos, Jif, Nutter Butter, Nilla Wafers, Animal Crackers, Graham Crackers, Welch’s fruit chews, Teddy Grahams, and lollipops. So, I know I can find a substitute that I like for this.
I’m off to the grocery store…
