Want to make a simple change to your diet that’s in your health’s best interest?

Sub out your bowl of high-sugar breakfast cereal for a packet of oatmeal.

Though instant oats are certainly a time-saving solution, not all packets will treat your waistline equally.

From Worst To Best…

The Worst Instant Oatmeal Packet Is…

This packet is packed full of additives that may only serve to defeat your body goals.

Two of these villains are artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium and sucralose.

Perhaps a more fitting name for this oatmeal bag is “Weight Out-Of Control.”

(Did we mention sucralose has also been connected to decreased sleep quality and poor gut health?)

Quaker doubles down on the artery-clogging effects by also adding trans fat derivatives mono and diglycerides.

When are food manufacturers going to dropthese synthetic chemicalsfrom our kids' food?

At least they don’t have any trans fat added to them.

Otherwise, it’s still the same artificially-colored, artificially-flavored, and oil-coated mess as those packets above.

However, Quaker still adds inflammatory artificial flavor and potentially carcinogen-carrying caramel color to this Apple & Cinnamon flavor.

That likely means there’s more of the good stuff: healthy fat-laden oats!

Pick up this flavor if you don’t want to eat any artificial colors or flavors.
