Cream of wheat is the exact same thing as semolina, which is used to make high quality pasta. Cream of wheat doesn't use the whole grain (no bran), so it should be treated like a more coarse version of white flour. Regular cream of wheat has a GI value of 66, instant cream of wheat has a GI value of 74.

Yea I read the box and it was high in carbs..which usually is sugar..I avoid it..
Grapenuts is another one I like that I won't touch anymore...

Oat meal!..with a pat of butter and splenda with a little ciminmon(sp?)

Well it has more to do with my diet then yours most likely.. being a little carb senitive and Grapenuts having 47g carb.. in a 1/2 cup serving now only 5 g of that is sugar but fiber is also only 6g So the "Other 36g of carbs" has me worried..
Ingredients:
Whole grain wheat flour, Wheat flour,malted barley flour, salt,dried yeast

I mean overall it looks okay.. But I'm worried what the "Other Carbs" are..

Other comments from people who know more is welcome.. I wonder what the GI index is..
Whoops Found it.. 67-75 Which is med-Hi GI index.. I'll skip it
