Default cereal?

I'm sorry if this has been covered before. I did a search and didn't find anything, but maybe I missed it.

I bought a box of Kashi 7 whole grain flakes the other day. Looking at the label, I am not sure if they are SB "legal"

They have 41 g total carbohydrate, 6 g fiber, 4 g sugars and 31 g other carbohydrate. That is a lot of carbohydrates, isn't it? I used to eat Fiber 1 last time around, but I remembered them having artificial sweetener and since I use so much splenda already(including on top of my cereal!) I was trying to avoid that being IN the cereal as well.

Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?

Here are the ingredients...

Kashi seven whole grains& sesame blend (whole:hard red wheat, oats, brown rice, triticale, rye, barley, buckwheat, sesame seeds) long grain white rice, evaporated cane juice, wheat bran, barley malt syrup, oat fiber, brown rice syrup, salt

S/C/G: (body fat) >34.5%/?/<25%

Height: 5' 6", small frame, "obese" body fat

Default

Sadly, this has added sugars (THREE kinds: evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup and barley malt syrup) AND white rice so it's not South Beach Diet-compliant ...

I hate with otherwise healthy things have added sugar! This happens a lot with whole wheat bread.

I used to eat Uncle Sam (original) cereal - no sugar added. I think there are others listed on the Phase II foods list (in the Sticky section)
