Is it Really Good for You? "Take Heart®" Quaker Instant Oatmeal
I received a sample of Take Heart Quaker Instant Oatmeal with my Sunday newspaper.
I had just purchased some Lower Sugar Instant Oatmeal and was curious to compare the two products as our family has decided to scrutinize what we eat a little bit more.
So, my question (not being a nutritional scientist) is this: Is the "Take Heart®" variety of instant oatmeal better than the "Lower Sugar" variety? Maybe not (according to my unscientific analysis).
Here's why: Take Heart is a larger serving (45g vs. 31g), larger serving size = more calories (160 vs. 110), more Fat (2g vs. 1.5g), more carbs (33g vs. 22g), more sugar (9g vs. 6g).
So, if you're watching calories, counting carb, or moderating sugar intake "Lower Sugar" might be the way to go.
I wonder why there are no hearts on the Lower Sugar nutrition facts panel for the same measurements of Take Heart's saturated fat and cholesterol?
Take a look for your self....
