SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Honey Nut Cheerios Actually Healthy?
This is the health-halo case study: the heart on the box is earned by the oats, but a cup still carries 12g of sugar, three times plain Cheerios. It's better than most sweet cereals and worse than its reputation. If you love the honey-O format, grain-free versions now deliver it with a quarter of the sugar and double the protein.
