1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: We all care about our kids' health, but sometimes it

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: can be really difficult to decipher the nutrition labels of

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: the foods that kids like to eat but that are

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: also healthy. So is it possible for us to be

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: able to balance the health of our kids with some

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: food choices that the kids are happy with? Two Hi,

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm Susie Barrel and on Liam Wood, and as two

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: of us Jays leading dieticians, we bring you the Nutrition

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Couch product review, a weekly chat on old products and

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: new favorites you can find in supermarkets. I think I

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: just turn that around, but anyway, we'll just go with it.

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: So on today's episode, Leanne, you have chosen three kids

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: breakfast cereals, which I actually don't think that we have

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 1: done before on the Nutrition Couch. But I know this

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: can be really tricky for parents because we all want

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the kids to have something healthy before they go to school,

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: and how do you know, like the cereal section is

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: really difficult to decipher, and you've sort of got those

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: traditional sort of sugary favorites of children that maybe you

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: and I had on holidays but maybe quite par and

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: then you've got kind of the plainer options as well.

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: And then there's some in between. So I love that

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: you've chosen three sort of contrasting products to look at today.

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: My kids don't eat cereal. Actually, they are much more

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: sort of toast in the morning. And probably partly my

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: fault land, I haven't really ever introduced it to them

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: because I wasn't a massive serial eader. I myself like

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: a Brandy mix or a sort of nice Carmen's granola.

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, my kids are not big cereal eaters. What

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: about little Mea? What's she haven't for breakfast?

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loves a good cheer pudding and an overn

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: adut in New So she was a cheer putting snob

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: shit one every day from the local cafe. She loved it,

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: chihuba and an entire one for herself. And also we

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: do the kids weeks, which we're going to talk about today,

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: especially when she was little. I found that that was

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: really easy. It just was so soft. And for teething

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: as well, I'll put cold milk in it, and I

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: think she does really well with that. So she does that,

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: she does some over at oats, she does a avocado

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: on toast sometimes. Yeah, she's kind of gone off her eggs,

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: which is a bit of a shame in the morning,

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: so we're sort of limited. I used to make a

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: lot of French toasts and some Eggy pancakes, but she's

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: not really a faner than these days, so we don't

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: do a lot of cereal. Like there just aren't that

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: great options out there, if I'm being honest. But I

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: think Weekbix is a really nice one to start on,

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: particularly at the little kids range, which is the first

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: one that we're going to chat about today, which I like.

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: It's the Sanitarium Whebaks little Kids Essentials Breakfast Cereal and

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: now we know that Weebeax is the highest selling breakfast

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: real in Australia, but this is the kid's version, and

54
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the differences and why it's marketed as

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: a different one for kids. So it retails at a

56
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: very reasonable price point, I have to say at the

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: moment when the cluster of food is through the roof

58
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: for for four hundred grams, it's four dollars fifty, which seems,

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: as I said, to be quite reasonable given current times.

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Certainly it's a cost effective way for families to provide breakfast.

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: It's got a five health star rating. If we look

62
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: at the ingredient list, it's pretty clean. It's ninety seven

63
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: percent whole grain cereals, which is what we love to

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: see lean dieticians. We love the idea of whole grains.

65
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Of that ninety seven percent seventy seven percent whet, ten

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: percent rye, and ten percent sawgum. Then it's followed by

67
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: raw sugar, calcium rich seaweed, which is a very interesting addition.

68
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that previously in food, Barley,

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: malt extract, and some added minerals so iron and zinc,

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: as well as vitamin's B three, B two, B six,

71
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: B one and FOLL eight. Now I'll have a look

72
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: at the nutritionals which you've cut and paste into massive

73
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: form for me, So thanks for that. What I will

74
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: say straight away, though, is that if I've got something

75
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: that is a whole grain serial ninety seven percent, even

76
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: though sugar's up there, it's a reasonably small amount, but

77
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: we can have a look over all what that looks like.

78
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: So per serving, they're thirty three grams served, so I'm

79
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: assuming that's sort of two smallish biscuits, comes in just

80
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: over one hundred calories. At four hundred and eighty two

81
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: kilodeels coming in four grams of protein, which is not

82
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: insignificant really because if you added milk to that, you're

83
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: getting close to sort of fifteen grams. That's a pretty

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: decent breakfast load. So that whole grain cereal content is

85
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: bumping up the protein, very little to no fat as

86
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you would expect. Carbohydrate twenty one grams, of which one

87
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: gram is sugar or it's less than three percent sugar overall,

88
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: so not completely sugar free. I think vitebrates from memory

89
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: have got no added sugar, four grams of dietary fiber perserve,

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: which is not insignificant. That is a really good dose

91
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: for a small child, and very little salt. So I

92
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: think the standout feature of this compared to a number

93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: of cereals is that it's got no added sodium, so

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: particularly good for very small children. For mely and it's

95
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: about an eight. I don't like sugar added for a

96
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: kid's breakfast cereal, to be honest, I probably wouldn't spend

97
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: and spend on little kids weep weeks. I probably would

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: just use the regular ones because the nutritional profile of

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: those are pretty good, and I myself would probably go

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: for Vitebrits only because they've got no added sugar. But

101
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's a solid cereal choice. You know, it's

102
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: maybe i'd give it eight out of ten. It's a

103
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: really solid choice. It's got some fortification with iron, although

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: it's not come up on this label here, but I

105
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's twenty five percent if we can look very

106
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: closely at the small print and some you know, really

107
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: nice amounts of dietary fiber. So if a client came

108
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: to me and was having this, or if I was

109
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: suggesting a cereal product, I would have no qualms recommending

110
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: this at all.

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Will not be I'm going to give it a nine

112
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: to nine and a half. I honestly do think out

113
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: of all kids CRUs it is one of the top

114
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: on the market. You are paying a little bit more

115
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: for the little kids' rain, so if budgeting is a cost,

116
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: I would say just go for the standard We'd picks.

117
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: But the standard Weebix does have a little bit more sodium.

118
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: So for very little kids I'm talking under twelve months,

119
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: just be weary of for that. It's not something I'd

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: be giving every single day. But I don't think you

121
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: can go past a cereal that's ninety seven percent whole grains. Yes,

122
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: there's added sugar in there, but considering what most kids

123
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: get in through fruit and fruit bars and roll ups

124
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: and all that sort of thing, like, I'm so happy

125
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: to recommend a cereal with one gram abouted sugar. So

126
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: for me, I'm giving it a nine and nine and

127
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: a half. I really don't think that there's much more

128
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: on the market that can beat this. It's also got

129
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of added probotics as well, which is

130
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: great for our gut health and the vitamins as well,

131
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's really good. So for me,

132
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: it gets a thumbs up in every area. And I

133
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: add a little bit of healthy fats in there as well,

134
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: just because it's mostly you know, a carbohydrate type food,

135
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 2: which is great for little growing kids. But I always

136
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: sprinkle some hem seeds or some cheer seas, or a

137
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: bit of LSA or flax onto me as one she's

138
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: got allergies towards nuts. But you can use some crush

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: nuts or some nut paste as well if you like.

140
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: But I think balancing it out with a bit of

141
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: fat and a bit of milk, whatever you know your

142
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: kids choose to consume is a really nice, sort of

143
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: well balanced breakfast and depending on their age, add a

144
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: little bit of fruit in there as well. So I

145
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: think it's just it's quick and easy, it's really soft

146
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: for little kids to start on, and it's good for teethings,

147
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: so it gets all the ticks in my boxes. But yeah,

148
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: budgeting is a concerned. It is more expensive than just

149
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: the standard Wheatbix range. You definitely don't need to go

150
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: for the little kids range once they were over sort

151
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: of twelve months. I think they're both very good. The

152
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Standard week biks of standard vitebrates, as you mentioned, it

153
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: is Australian. It is no outed sugar, so it does

154
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: sort of trump the standard week Bix. But yeah, I

155
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: think this one for the little little eaes is quite

156
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: a good one.

157
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: The next one we're looking at is a controversial one.

158
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: It's the Nesse Whole Grain Energy and Fiber Milo Cereal. Now,

159
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: at the time we are publishing this, it was half

160
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: priced at three dollars twenty five, but normally six dollars

161
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: fifty for three hundred and fifty gram so a whole

162
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: two dollars more for less than compared to what you're

163
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: getting with the kids at, wheatbiks, whole grain cereal fifty percent,

164
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: So that's twenty five percent less than what you were

165
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: getting on like almost half. Sorry, I should save what

166
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: you were getting with the whole grainwet BIX, of which

167
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: thirty four percent was wheat, sixteen percent corn, followed by

168
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: sugar as the basically second ingredient formulated supplementary food based

169
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: which is Milo itself, which is ten percent of the

170
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: total cereal is Milo. Now Milo is heavily fortified with

171
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: key vitamins, but it's also basically quite high in sugar,

172
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: so that to make the MILEA, you're getting melt extracts, milk,

173
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: powdered sugar, cocoa, choc malt, blend plus calcium iron vitamins CEE,

174
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: B three, B six, B two, D and B twelve,

175
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: so it does tick the box and a number of

176
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: those a multifier wheat flour, cocoa and malt, extra skim milk,

177
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: powdered vegetable oil flavors and multipliers salt vitamins, minerals. Again

178
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: quite heavily fortified. Now very long ingredient list, very long

179
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: ingredient list. We look at the nutritionols for eighty kilogees,

180
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: so again just over one hundred calperserve, two point seven

181
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: grams of protein, so not overly high, not overly low,

182
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: but not overly high. One point four grams are fat,

183
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: zero point four saturated, coming a bit from the milk

184
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: and coco through there. One point five grams of carbohydrate,

185
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: but are massive eight grams of sugar per serve. Now

186
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: the serve is only thirty grams, so almost a third

187
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: of that product is sugar.

188
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, most people eating far more than thirty grams.

189
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, thirty grams is quite not much for of

190
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: a breakfast guarantee. Most people eating sixty, if not ninety

191
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: to one hundred grams of the cereal.

192
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Well because it's sweet too, hey, so you just load

193
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: up the bowl. But that's a massive amount of sugar.

194
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: It's like almost a third, you know, too high for

195
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: kids like wow, we want them to be on less

196
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: than twenty five grams of addeds per day. That's like

197
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: a quarter of their intake and even more than for

198
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: little kids. And the fibers not greatly And two point

199
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: three grams is not high. I'd want to breakfast cereal

200
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: to at least have three if not closer to five,

201
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: so I'm pretty disappointed. Yes, it is fortified, it's got

202
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of vitamins, vitamin D, B, twelve, iron, zinc.

203
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: But I'm not giving my client cereal for the nutrients.

204
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm giving it for the good quality fuel and dietary fiber,

205
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: and unfortunately for me, this falls way short on those

206
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: key nutrients. It's got way too much sugar and it's

207
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: got not enough fiber for me to choose it as

208
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: a regular daily breakfast cereal of choice. I give it

209
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: a five at best.

210
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: You're being generous. I was gonna go three or four.

211
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: It's something that is super popular, and because it's promoted

212
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: heavily within athletes, I think a lot of parents think, oh,

213
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: it's milow cereal. It's not that bad. You know, milo's

214
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: low GI. It's quite good for you. But let's just

215
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: break down that ingredient list again, Susie. It's fifty percent

216
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: whole grains. It's heavily promoted as a whole grain type cereal,

217
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: but it's only got two grams of dietary fiber in it,

218
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: so it's just not great from that perspective. The second

219
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: ingredient is sugar. So it's fifty percent whole grains, followed

220
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: by sugar, followed by Milo at ten percent. So if

221
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: you break that down, that's a high sugar product. In fact,

222
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: it's twenty five percent sugar in this cereal. It's twenty

223
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: six point six grams of sugar per hundred grams. That's

224
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: a lot of sugar. It's a high sugar cereal. There's

225
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: nothing healthy about this. Yes, as you mentioned, it is fortified,

226
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: but if you're giving your kids like a high sugar

227
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: cereal for the fortification, honestly, you're not doing it right.

228
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Like they need to be getting their nutrients from other

229
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: whole food sources. So for me, just even the cost

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: of it, like it's nearly seven dollars for a box

231
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: of it, it's not inexpensive. E. They're sure it's delicious

232
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: and kids love it, But I would be using something

233
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: like this with say, for example, two week bigs or

234
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: two vitebriots and sprinkling one or two tablespoons of the

235
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: Milo cereal on top, versus actually giving them an entire

236
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: bowl of Milo cereal like I was not, Like my

237
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: mum was very health conscious growing up. We would never

238
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: allowed something like this. And if we did have it

239
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: on a special occasion. We would make a box last

240
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: month like she would make us, you know, use a

241
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: good quality whole grain usually or some Vita Briots or something,

242
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: and we'd sprinkle a little bit on top of an

243
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: actual base of a healthier cereal. So we'd use it

244
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: to add a little bit of sort of flavor and

245
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: sugar in there. But we absolutely would never allowed a

246
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: whole bowl of Milo cereal for breakfast. I think that's

247
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: a good way to use it. If your kids love it.

248
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: That's a really smart way to do it, I think too. Yeah,

249
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: with negotiating with kids. So it's not saying you know,

250
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: a no, it's saying this is how we use it.

251
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: It's not the base, but if you want a bit

252
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: of flavor, actually really like that as a tip. All right.

253
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 1: And the third product we're going to talk about is

254
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: a really interesting product because this range of the No

255
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Nasis project we've spoken about in terms of lower sugar cooks,

256
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: and they've sort of ventured into the area of cereal.

257
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: So this is the No Nasties fruity fifty percent less

258
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: sugar fruity loops cereal. So it's basically designed to be

259
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: a healthier version of good old fruit loops now two

260
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five grams at six forty so not inexpensive,

261
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: significantly more than the cereals we've spoken about. If we

262
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: look at the ingredient list, it's interestingly and so the

263
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: first ingredients is rice flour. Now that is a heavily

264
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: refined grain, it's not whole grain, so that's that's interesting,

265
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: followed by wholemeal wheat flour, sugar, natural sweetness, so they're

266
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: basically sweetening with erythrotol and stevia salt natural colors to

267
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: it to get those colors, similar to fruit loops, food

268
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: acid and multifier natural flavors. God does have some wine

269
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: added vitamins B one, B two, B three. I'm just

270
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: remembering my p groot vitamins and folic acids.

271
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: One of them is BE six and I said rather

272
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: flavor diamond and following us, Yeah, and the sweetness are

273
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: with retol and steavia. So the natural types of sweetness,

274
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: which is good.

275
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So similar thirty gram serving size, which like you

276
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: described as not very much, just over one hundred calories

277
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: at four hundred and eighty three kildeels two point six

278
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: grams of protein. You know, they're very low in fat,

279
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: twenty four grams of carbo hydrate perserve and four grams

280
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: of sugars, which is not as low as how wheat bix,

281
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: not overly high, but still go a little bit, but

282
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: leanne like one point two grams of dietary fiber. And

283
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: all I will say is, if you're going to go

284
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: and formulate this flash cereal and claim to be healthier,

285
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: stick some fiber in there. Like one point two grams

286
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is so low, you know, even if you would say

287
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: it's a healthier I wouldn't even say it's a healthier

288
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: fruit loops because it's got no fiber in it. So

289
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't like the grain. I don't like that. It's

290
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: rice flour that's a high GI grain. It's heavily refined.

291
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: So even though it's lower in sugarly and I'm giving this,

292
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, low, I'm giving it a four. I don't

293
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: like it. I think that if you're going to be

294
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: playing in the health area, you've got to make sure

295
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: you're ticking a minimum things like a whole grain component

296
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: and dietary fiber. And for me, this doesn't do any

297
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: even though it's heavily marketing on less sugar, it's a

298
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: bit disappointing.

299
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you compare it to fruit loops directly, it's

300
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: certainly a better option. I mean, a box of fruit

301
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: Loops to eighty five grams of froot Loops just looking

302
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: at coals right now is seven dollars, So this is

303
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: actually twenty five grams similar size, it's six dollars forty.

304
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: It's actually cheaper than buying a box of fruit loops.

305
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: So it is if your kids love that and you're

306
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: looking for a better version of it, certainly this is better.

307
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: The flavors are natural, we're not getting the added colors

308
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: like froot loops, and the sweetness are natural as well.

309
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: Plus you're getting it about half the amount of sugar

310
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: so per serving in fruit loops, which is a thirty

311
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: gram serving. As well, the sugars are eleven point six grams,

312
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: so this is actually it's nearly a third less sugar.

313
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: This is only four grams per serving the dietary fiber

314
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: and fruit Loops is point seven. This is one point

315
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: two grams per serve. So certainly it's better. But when

316
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: we compare it to what we would want, it's definitely

317
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: I'd be a little bit more generous souzie. I'd give

318
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: it a five. Maybe's certainly a lot less sugar than

319
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: a lot of other brands out there in terms of

320
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: kid cereals, but there's no real positive nutritional benefit. You're

321
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: just getting a ton of carbs from this. There's no

322
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: real healthy fats, there's no great quality whole grains in there.

323
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: There's no real you know, even protein from things like

324
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: our nuts and our sea that we'd like to see.

325
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: So it is what it is. It's a better option

326
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: than fruit loops itself. But you know, I don't think

327
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: you have to be Einstein to work out that fruit

328
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: loops aren't actually good for you. So certainly, if your

329
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: kids are obsessed with fruit loops, so you want a

330
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: better option, this is certainly something to play with. But

331
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: again I'd be mixing it with a couple of vita

332
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: bread sauce and wheat bigsil, putting in a bit of

333
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: good quality depending on the age if it's a bit

334
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: older kids, some good quality granola or musically or that

335
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: sort of thing, with a nice blend of fruit and

336
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: mix as well to add in some healthy fats to

337
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: just reduce down the whole carbohydrate load there as well,

338
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: so it is what it is. I thought it was

339
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: an interesting one to pop in there because I think

340
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: most people are aware that things like our standard froot

341
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: loops and Coco Pops that you know, you and I

342
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: grew up in that generation where that was all you

343
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: saw on a kid's breakfast table. Most of us know

344
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: that those sorts of things aren't healthy. So to see

345
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: some better varieties out there as nice. But let's be real,

346
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: it's not a great option, like, it's not something we'd

347
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: be recommending. It's not something I had to ever write

348
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: into a client's meal plan for them all their kids.

349
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: I really do feel like it has a place, but

350
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: it's certainly not something that we're going to give you

351
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: top marks to on the Nutrition Couch today, it's very

352
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: much sitting very standard four or five out of ten

353
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: at best.

354
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: And if you do want to know what are the

355
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: kid cereals and even adult cereals that Leanne and I

356
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: highly recommend, including Granola's oats and kid cereal, you need
