Cereal question? Isnt special k much healthier than cap'n crunch?!


Question: Cereal question? Isnt special k much healthier than cap'n crunch?
I would think that special k would be much better for you than cap'n crunch? Special k has 9g of sugar while capn crunch has 11g.... Not that big of a difference. They both have the same amount of calories. Special k has way more carbs. Am i missing something? So confused.

Special K doesn't have way more carbs from the info I found:

1 cup Cap'n Crunch:
Cals 144
Fat 2.1g
Carbs 30.5g
(of which sugar 15.7g)
Protein 1.6g

1 cup Special K:
Cals 120
Fat 0.5g
Carbs 23g
(of which sugar 4g)
Protein 6g

So the Special K has fewer calories because it has less carbs and fat, but it's slightly made up for by containing more protein.

I'm not sure but I recently switched from using Special K after I saw it uses high fructose corn syrup. I'm trying to avoid products that use it. Now, I eating Fiber One, Cheerios and Kashi cereal instead.
