Unhealthy diet is the #1 cause of premature death. Most American breakfasts contains more sugar that one should consume in an entire day\u20146 teaspoons (about 24 grams) for women and children, and 9 teaspoons (about 36 grams) for men. Even breakfast items marketed as health foods such as fruit yogurt, granola, cereal, energy bars and oatmeal packets are loaded with added sugar, and can set one on a disastrous path of cravings and crashes for the day.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not just important to eat breakfast; it\u2019s key to aim for a nourishing morning meal without added sugar to get the most nutrient-rich kickstart possible for your body and brain,” explains Foodstander and nutrition expert Jackie Newgent, RD<\/a>.
