This surprises me. A lot of breakfast cereals and sweetened yogurts are basically candy, and I would have assumed are heavy contributors to poor health.
I don't see where your assumption is being challenged. "Breakfast cereals" is a very loose category. I would not conclude that Froot Loops lower risks of cardiovascular disease just because Ezekiel's Gravel Bits have been shown to do the same.

Apparently "basically candy" is not the same thing as candy. That is a great find, lets us eat basically candy without the health consequences.
Wait until you learn about The Ice Cream Paradox:
