most breakfast cereals are crap and loaded with sugar. Not only that, but some research suggests that most of them probably contain arguably the most dangerous edible carcinogen: acrylamides
Do a search on "acrylamides" and "breafast cereals", and you'll never eat them again.

this is not just another "hippy/everything cause cancer" thing, this is a bit scary. More and more research is suggesting that grains should not be a staple in our diet, and this is perhaps another argument against them.

A World Health Organisation conference held in Geneva in June this year with twenty of the worlds top food experts, announced that acrylamides are present in a huge range of staple foods which form a large part of our diet and that they are playing an alarming role in our lives.
This, said Dr Jorgen Schlundt, head of food safety at the WHO, is not just another food scare. "The experts were unanimous and clear that this is a major concern he said.
Apparently, experts in Britain are comparing the discovery of acrylamides' action to the discovery of a link between smoking and cancer. Some scientists are warning their own families not to eat foods cooked at high temperatures until more research has been carried out about the dangers.
