The honest verdict
Is Cinnamon Toast Crunch Actually Healthy?
America's most-eaten cereal earns its crown with cinnamon-sugar dust and a swirl of added fat that makes each square taste toasted: 170 calories and 12g of sugar per cup, with 2g of protein along for the ride. It's a cookie in cereal clothing. The cinnamon-swirl craving itself has genuinely good high-protein impostors now.
