1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: We all care about our kids' health, but sometimes it

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: can be really difficult to decipher the nutrition labels of

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: the foods that kids like to eat but that are

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: also healthy. So is it possible for us to be

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: able to balance the health of our kids with some

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: food choices that the kids are happy with? Two Hi,

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Liam Wood, and as two

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,360
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
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,680
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
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: So on today's episode, Leanne, you have chosen three kids

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: breakfast cereals, which I actually don't think that we have

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: done before on the Nutrition Couch. But I know this

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: can be really tricky for parents because we all want

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the kids to have something healthy before they go to school,

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: and how do you know, like the cereal section is

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: really difficult to decipher, and you've sort of got those

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: traditional sort of sugary favorites of children that maybe you

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: and I had on holidays but maybe quite par pillar.

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: And then you've got kind of the planer options as well.

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: And then there's some in between. So I love that

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: you've chosen three sort of contrasting products to look at today.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: My kids don't eat cereal. Actually, they are much more

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: sort of toast in the morning. And probably partly my

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: fault land I haven't really ever introduced it to them

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: because I wasn't a massive serial leader. I myself like

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: a Brandy mix or a sort of nice Carmen's granola.

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, my kids are not big cereal eaters. What

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: about little mea? What's she haven't for breakfast?

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loves a good cheer pudding in an overn

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

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: shit one every day from the local cafe. She loved it.

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Chuhuba an entire one for herself. And also we do

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: the kids wee bis, which we're going to talk about today,

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: especially when she was little. I found that that was

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: really easy. It just was so soft. And the teething

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: as well, I'll put cold milk in it, and I

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: think she does really well with that. So she does that.

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: She does some over not oats, She does a bit

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: of avocado on toast sometimes. Yeah, she's kind of gone

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: off her eggs, which is a bit of a shame

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: in the morning, so we're sort of limited. I used

44
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: to make a lot of French toasts and some Eggy pancakes,

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: but she's not really a faner than these days, so

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: we don't do a lot of cereal. Like there isn't

47
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: that great options out there, if I'm being honest, But

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: I 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
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: one that we're going to chat about today, which I like.

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: It's the Sanitarium, Whebeaks, Little Kids Essentials Breakfast Cereal and

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: now we know that Weepbex is the highest selling breakfast

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: reeal in Australia, but this is the kid's version, and

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the differences and why it's marketed as

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: a different one for kids. So it retails at a

56
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: very reasonable price point, I have to say at the

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: moment when the cost of food is through the roof.

58
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200
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
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Certainly it's a cost effective way for families to provide breakfast.

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

62
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: at the ingredient list, it's pretty clean. It's ninety seven

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: percent whole grain cereals, which is what we love to

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: see lean dieticians. We love the idea of whole grains.

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Of that ninety seven percent seventy seven percent wheat, ten

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: percent rye, and ten percent sorgum. Then it's followed by

67
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: raw sugar, halci and rich seaweed, which is a very

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: interesting addition. I don't think I've seen that previously in food. Barley,

69
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: malt extract, and some added minerals so iron and zinc,

70
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: as well as vitamins B three, B two, B six,

71
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: B one and FOLL eight. Now I have a look

72
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: at the nutritionals which you've cut and paste into massive

73
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,280
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
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: that is a whole grain serial ninety seven percent, even

76
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: though sugar's up there, it's a reasonably small amount, but

77
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: we can have a look over all what that looks like.

78
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: So per serving, they're thirty three grams served, so I'm

79
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: assuming that's sort of two smallish biscuits, comes in just

80
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: over one hundred calories at four hundred and eighty two

81
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: kilodels 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
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: getting close to sort of fifteen grams. That's a pretty

84
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: decent breakfast load. So that whole grain cereal content is

85
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: bumping up the protein, very little to no fat as

86
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: you would expect. Carbohydrate twenty one grams, of which one

87
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: gram is sugar or it's less than three percent sugar overall,

88
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360
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
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: which is not insignificant. That is a really good dose

91
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680
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
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: of cereals is that it's got no added sodium, so

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: particularly good for very small children. For mely and it's

95
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
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 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: and spend on little kids wee weeks. I probably would

98
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: just use the regular ones because the nutritional profile of

99
00:04:29,000 --> 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
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a solid cereal choice. You know, it's

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: maybe I'll give it eight out of ten. It's a

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: really solid choice. It's got some fortification with iron, although

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: it's not come up on this label here, but I

105
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's twenty five percent if we can look very

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

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: nice amounts of dietary fiber. So if a client came

108
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: to me and was having this, or if I was

109
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: suggesting a cereal product, I would have no qualms recommending

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: this at all.

111
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Will not be I'm going to give it a nine

112
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: to nine and a half. I honestly do think out

113
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: of all kids, it is one of the top on

114
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: the market. You are paying a little bit more for

115
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: the little kids rain, so if budgeting is a cost,

116
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: I would say just go for the standard wee picks.

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: But the standard Weepbix does have a little bit more sodium,

118
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: So for very little kids I'm talking under twelve months,

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

120
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: giving every single day. But I don't think you can

121
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: go past a cereal that's ninety seven percent whole grains. Yes,

122
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: there's added sugar in there, but considering what most kids

123
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: get in through fruit and fruit bars and roll ups

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: and all that sort of thing, like, I'm so happy

125
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: to recommend a cereal with one gram abouted sugar. So

126
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: for me, I'm giving it a nine and nine and

127
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: a half. I really don't think there there's much more

128
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: on the market that can beat this. It's also got

129
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: a little bit of added probotics as well, which is

130
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: great for our gut health and the vitamins as well,

131
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, I think that's really good. So for me,

132
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: it gets her thumbs up in every area. And I

133
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,240
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 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: which is great for little growing kids. But I always

136
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: sprinkle some hemp seeds or some cheer seas, or a

137
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: bit of LSA or flax onto me as one she's

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

139
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: nuts or some nut paste as well if you like.

140
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,200
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
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: kids choose to consume is a really nice, sort of

143
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: well balanced breakfast and depending on their age, add a

144
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: little bit of fruit in there as well. So I

145
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: think it's just it's quick and easy, it's really soft

146
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: for little kids to start on, and it's good for teethings,

147
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: so it gets all the ticks in my boxes. But yeah,

148
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: budgeting is a concern. It is more expensive than just

149
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: the standard Wheatbix range. You definitely don't need to go

150
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: for the little kids range once they were over sort

151
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: of twelve months. I think they're both very good. The

152
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: standard week bixs of standard Vitebrate's. As you mentioned, it

153
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: is Australian and it is no outed sugar, so it

154
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: does sort of trump the standard week Bix. But yeah,

155
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: I think this one for the little little es is

156
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: quite a good one.

157
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: The next one we're looking at is a controversial one.

158
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: It's the Nesse Whole Grain Energy and Fiber Milo Cereal. Now,

159
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: at the time we are publishing this, it was half

160
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: priced at three dollars twenty five, but normally six dollars

161
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: fifty for three hundred and fifty gram so a whole

162
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: two dollars more for less than compared to what you're

163
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: getting with the kids a wheatbiks whole grain cereal fifty percent,

164
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: so that's twenty five percent less than what you were

165
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: getting on like almost half, sorry I should save you

166
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: were getting with the whole grainwhet BIX, of which thirty

167
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: four percent was wheat, sixteen percent corn, followed by sugar

168
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: as the basically second ingredient formulated supplementary food based which

169
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: is Milo itself, which is ten percent of the total

170
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: cereal is Milo. Now Milo is heavily fortified with key vitamins,

171
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: but it's also basically quite high in sugar, so that

172
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: to make the MILEA, you're getting malt extracts, milk, powdered sugar, cocoa,

173
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: choc malt blend, plus calcium iron vitamins ce B three,

174
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: B six, B two, D, and B twelve, so it

175
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: does tick the box and a number of those A

176
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: multifier wheat flour, cocoa, malt, extra skim, milk powder, vegetable

177
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: oil flavors and multipliers salt vitamins, minerals. Again quite heavily fortified.

178
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Now very long ingredient list, very long ingredient list. We

179
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: look at the nutritionols for eighty kilogel, so again just

180
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: over one hundred calperserve two point seven grams of protein,

181
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: so not overly high, not overly low, but not overly high.

182
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: One point four grams are fat, zero point four saturated,

183
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: coming a bit from the milk and coco through there,

184
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: twenty one point five grams of carbohydrate, but are massive

185
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: eight grams of sugar per serve. Now the serve is

186
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: only thirty grams, so almost a third of that product

187
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: is sugar.

188
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, most people eating far more than thirty grams.

189
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, thirty grams is quite not much for of

190
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: a breakfast guarantee. Most people eating sixty, if not ninety

191
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: to one hundred grams of the cereal well.

192
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Because it's sweet too, hey, so you just load up

193
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: the bowl. But that's a massive amount of sugar's like

194
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: almost a third, you know, too high for kids like wow,

195
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: we want them to be on less than twenty five

196
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: grams of addeds per day. That's like a quarter of

197
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: their intake and even more than for little kids. And

198
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: the fiber is not greatly and two point three grams

199
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: is not high. I'd want to breakfast cereal to at

200
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: least have three, if not closer to five. So I'm

201
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: pretty disappointed. Yes, it is fortified, it's got a whole

202
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of vitamins, vitamin D, B, twelve, iron, zinc. But

203
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm not giving my client cereal for the nutrients. I'm

204
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: 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
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: key nutrients. It's got way too much sugar and it's

207
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: got not enough fiber for me to choose it as

208
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: a regular daily breakfast cereal of choice. I give it

209
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: a five at best.

210
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: You're being generous. I was gonna go three or four.

211
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: It's something that is super popular, and because it's promoted

212
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: heavily within athletes, I think a lot of parents think, oh,

213
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
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
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: break down that ingredient list again, Susie. It's fifty percent

216
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: whole grains. It's heavily promoted as a whole grain type cereal,

217
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: but it's only got two grams of dietary fiber in it,

218
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: so it's just not great from that perspective. The second

219
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: ingredient is sugar, so it's fifty percent whole grains, followed

220
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: by sugar, followed by Milo at ten percent. So if

221
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: you break that down, that's a high sugar product. In fact,

222
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
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 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: a lot of sugar. It's a high sugar cereal. There's

225
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: nothing healthy about this. Yes, as you mentioned, it is fortified,

226
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160
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
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Like they need to be getting their nutrients from other

229
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: whole food sources. So for me, in the cost of it,

230
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: like it's nearly seven dollars for a box of it,

231
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 2: it's not inexpensively. They're sure it's delicious and kids love it,

232
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: but I would be using something like this with say,

233
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: for example, two week bigs or two vitebriots and sprinkling

234
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: one or two tablespoons of the Milo cereal on top,

235
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: versus actually giving them an entire bowl of Milo cereal

236
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: like I was not. Like my mum was very health

237
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: conscious growing up. We would never allowed something like this,

238
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: and if we did have it on a special occasion,

239
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: we would make a box last month like she would

240
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: make us, you know, use a good quality whole grain

241
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: usual or some Vita Briots or something, and we'd sprinkle

242
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: a little bit on top of an actual base of

243
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: a healthier cereal. So we'd use it to add a

244
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: little bit of sort of flavor and sugar in there.

245
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: But we absolutely would never allowed a whole bowl of

246
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 2: Milo cereal for breakfast. I think that's a good way

247
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: to use it. If your kids love it.

248
00:10:41,880 --> 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
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: a no, it's saying this is how we use it. It's

251
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: not the base, but if you want a bit of flavor.

252
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I actually really like that as a tip. All right,

253
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: And the third product we're going to talk about is

254
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: a really interesting product because this range of the No

255
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Nasis project we've spoken about in terms of lower sugar

256
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: cook and they've sort of ventured into the area of cereal.

257
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: So this is the No Nasties fruity fifty percent less

258
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: sugar fruity loops cereal. So it's basically designed to be

259
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: a healthier version of good old fruit loops now two

260
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five grams at six forty so not inexpensive,

261
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: significantly more than the cereals we've spoken about. If we

262
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: look at the ingredient list, it's interestingly and so the

263
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: first ingredients is rice flour. Now that is a heavily

264
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: refined grain, it's not whole grain, so that's that's interesting,

265
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: followed by wholemeal wheat flour, sugar, natural sweetness, so they're

266
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: basically sweetening with erythrotol and stevia salt, natural colors to

267
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: get those colors, similar to fruit loops, food acid and

268
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: multifier natural flavors. God does have some wine added vitamins

269
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: B one, B two, B three. I'm just remembering my

270
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: p groot vitamins and folic acids.

271
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: One of them sp be six. Now I said rather

272
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: flavor diamond and following us. Yeah, and the sweetness are

273
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: with retol and steavier. So the natural types of sweetness,

274
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: which is good. Yeah.

275
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: So similar thirty gram serving size which you described as

276
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: not very much, just over one hundred calories at four

277
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three kilos two point six grams of protein.

278
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, they're very low in fat twenty four grams

279
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: of carbohydrate perserve and four grams of sugars, which is

280
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: not as low as how wheat bix, not overly high,

281
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: but still got a little bit but leanne like one

282
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: point two grams of dietary fiber. And all I will

283
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: say is, if you're going to go and formulate this

284
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: flash cereal and claim to be healthier, stick some fiber

285
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: in there. Like one point two grams is so low,

286
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, even if you would say it's a healthier

287
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say it's a healthier fruit loops because

288
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: it's got no fiber in it. So I don't like

289
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: the grain. I don't like that it's rice flour that's

290
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: a high GI grain. It's heavily refined. So even though

291
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: it's lower in sugarly and I'm giving this, you know, low,

292
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm giving it a four. I don't like it. I

293
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: think that if you're going to be playing in the

294
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: health area, you've got to make sure you're ticking a

295
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: minimum things like a whole grain component and dietary fiber.

296
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: And for me, this doesn't do any even though it's

297
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: heavily marketing on less sugar. It's a bit disappointing.

298
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you compare it to fruit loops directly, it's

299
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: certainly a better option. I mean a box of fruit

300
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: loops to eighty five grams of loops just looking at

301
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: coals right now as seven dollars, so this is actually

302
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: twenty five grams. Similar science, it's six dollars forty. It's

303
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: actually cheaper than buying a box of fruit loops. So

304
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: it is if your kids love that and you're looking

305
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: for a better version of it, certainly this is better.

306
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: The flavors are natural, we're not getting the added colors

307
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: like froot loops, and the sweetness are natural as well.

308
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: Plus you're getting it about half the amount of sugar

309
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: so per serving in fruit loops, which is a thirty

310
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: gram serving as well, the sugars are eleven point six grams,

311
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: so this is actually it's nearly a third less sugar.

312
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: This is only four grams per serving the dietary fiber

313
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: and fruit loops is point seven. This is one point

314
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: two grams per serve. So certainly it's better. But when

315
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: we compare it to what we would want, it's definitely

316
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: I'd be a little bit more generous souze. I'd give

317
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: it a five. Maybe certainly a lot less sugar than

318
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: a lot of other brands out there in terms of

319
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: kid cereals, but there's no real positive nutritional benefit. You're

320
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: just getting a ton of carbs from this. There's no

321
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: real healthy fats, there's no great quality whole grains in there.

322
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: There's no real you know, even protein from things like

323
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: our nuts and a sea that we'd like to see.

324
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: So it is what it is. It's a better option

325
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: than fruit loops itself. But you know, I don't think

326
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: you have to be Einstein to work out that fruit

327
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: loops aren't actually good for you. So certainly if your

328
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: kids are obsessed with fruit loops, so you want a

329
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: better option, this is certainly something to play with. But

330
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: again I'd be mixing it with a couple of Vita

331
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: breed sauce and wheat bigsil, putting in a bit of

332
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: good quality depending on the age if it's a bit

333
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: older kids, some good quality granola or musally all that

334
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: sort of thing, with a nice blend of fruit and

335
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: mix as well, to add in some healthy fats to

336
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: just reduce down the whole carbohydrate load there as well.

337
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: So it is what it is. I thought it was

338
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: an interesting one to pop in there, because I think

339
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: most people are aware that things like our standard froot

340
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: Loops and Coco Pops that you know, you and I

341
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: grew up in that generation where that was all you

342
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: saw on a kid's breakfast table. Most of us know

343
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: that those sorts of things aren't healthy. So to see

344
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: some better varieties out there as nice. But let's be real,

345
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: it's not a great option, like, it's not something we'd

346
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: be recommending. It's not something I had to ever write

347
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: into a client's meal plan for them all their kids.

348
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: I really do feel like it has a place, but

349
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: it's certainly not something that we're going to give you

350
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: top marks to on the Nutrition Couch today, it's very

351
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: much sitting very standard four or five out of ten

352
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: at best.

353
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: And if you do want to know what are the

354
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: kid cereals and even adult cereals that Leanne and I

355
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: highly recommend, including Granola's Oats and kid Cereal, you need
