Heart Smart Cereal

Kellogg’s Smart Start Cereal boast that it has ingredients that can lower both your blood pressure and cholesterol; the problem is Smart Start Cereal also contains ingredients that can put you at a high risk for diabetes and heart disease.

In the ingredients is listed high fructose corn syrup and palm kernel oil.

High fructose corn syrup: used by manufacturers because it is cheap to use and makes the food sweeter, tempting you to go back for more.

High fructose corn syrup increases your risk for diabetes; diabetes increases your risk for heart diseases.

If you are gaining weight eating diet food check the ingredients for high fructose corn syrup, this may be the cause. 

Palm kernel oil: extracted from the pit of the palm fruit using a gasoline-like hydrocarbon solvent. Here again used by manufactures because it is cheap to use.

Palm kernel oil is high in saturated fat increasing your risk for heart disease.

Not very heart smart.
