The Journal of Stupid Studies

Sweeeet

The Environmental Working Group wasted its money on a study that determined many children’s cereals are laden with sugar. Shocking, right? Who knew? Some, in fact, (Honey Smacks, Wheaties Fuel, Golden Crisp) have a higher sugar content per cup than a Twinkie.
