Health Integrity Analysis

Is Kelloggs breakfast cereal truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 50/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene). Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 23g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 6 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Kelloggs breakfast cereal achieves a CakeID Score of 50/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.

Health Recommendations

Sodium Watch

Contains 1.6g salt/100g. Drink water.

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.

Gut Health

Good fiber content.
