Honey nut cherries have sugar plus honey. Always try to read the information on everything before u eat it. We all make the wrong choices sometimes.

If you eat Cheerios eat the original ones. If this number brothers you contact your Dr. My ran in the 400s for a long time. Anything 600 or above usually requires hospitalization if it doesn't come down. Hugs
