A- Breakfast cereal
I
checked a package of 'cheerios' :
first ingredient: Whole Grain Oats
second: Sugar
third: Oat Bran

B. Packaged cake mix
This is from a package of cake mix for
Duncan Hines Yellow Cake:
first ingredient: Sugar
second: Bleached Wheat Flour
Third: Vegetable Oils


C. Candy bar
This information is from a snickers candy bar:
first ingredient: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Milk), second: Peanuts
Third:
Corn Syrup

D. Canned or frozen vegetables
This if for a can of
Golden Sweet corn:
first ingredient: corn
second: water
third: sea salt

E. Soft drink
This information is from Kool-Aid:
first ingredient: Water
second: , High Fructose Corn Syrup
third: Sucralose

What may be surprised for most people is that sugar is added to almost every food item in this list.
The first ingredients in the label are always the ones in more quantity and the last ingredient is the one that the food has less of.
That said, this means that there is a lot of sugar in every food item( except the corn)because it's always in the top 3 ingredients.

the most nutritious food is the 'Can or frozen vegetables'. They have vitamins , minerals and fiber and don't contain added sugar.

The least nutritious, i would say the soft drink because it's mostly water with sugar. This type of drink should be substituted for water.

The last question depends on your diet
