If you like General Mills Basic 4
A little healthy fat from nuts or seeds is good, says Kristine Clark, Ph.D., R.D., director of sports nutrition at Pennsylvania State University. It slows digestion and keeps you full longer. But Basic 4's partially hydrogenated oil (aka trans fat) increases your risk of cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.Nicole Goksel, AOL

Switch to Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes and Wild Blueberry Clusters
Dried blueberries, puffed rice, and honey make this cereal light, crunchy, and plenty sweet. No trans fat here and just 0.5 gram of saturated fat per generous 1 1/4-cup serving.Nicole Goksel, AOL

If you like Kellogg's Raisin Bran
A handful of raisins and whole wheat sounds healthy, right? It would be, says New York City nutritionist Joy Bauer, R.D., if it weren't for high-fructose corn syrup, which jacks the sugar content up to 19 grams, landing Raisin Bran alongside Lucky Charms. And its whopping 350 milligrams of sodium don't help.Nicole Goksel, AOL
