Cereals are an essential part of any diet. According to experts, buckwheat and oatmeal are considered the healthiest cereals, while corn porridge is considered the most harmful, as its glycemic index (GI) reaches 80%. It's worth noting that the high glucose content in cereals not only raises blood sugar levels but can also cause weight gain.

The FoodOboz editorial team shares a list of 3 cereals that, according to experts, are the most harmful and have little or no benefit to the body.

1. Corn porridge

The harmfulness of this porridge lies in its high glycemic index (GI), which reaches 80%. It is worth noting that the high glucose content in porridge not only raises blood sugar levels but can also cause weight gain.

2. Rice

White polished rice is considered to be unhealthy as it contains almost no vitamins after processing. However, brown unprocessed rice, according to experts, is very healthy.

3. Semolina

Semolina has almost no minerals and vitamins as it contains 4 times less of them than all other cereals. It is also important to note that it contains a lot of starch and can cause weight gain if you eat it too often.
