    Having cereal for breakfast daily is akin to using soda for hydration.

    Well, I was born in the 1960s and honey coated chocolate sugar bombs were already the cereal of choice among my kindergarten classmantes - and soda for hydration was pretty standard then too.

      What people think is unhealthy or healthy changes once they start actually looking into it.

      Soda? Clearly unhealthy. Juice? Milk? Clearly healthy.

      Well, except that excessive carbs are a problem, and while milk and juice may have some nutrition (that you can also easily get from other sources), they have as much sugar as soda.

      As a diabetic, I try not to drink calories. Milk and juice are slightly worse than regular soda. And I will occasionally have some of any of those. But occasionally, and a small amount, not a large amount.
