The history of wether or not cereal should be taken with hot milk or cold milk has been argued for decades. Some individuals believe cereal is to be served with hot milk while others believe it should be served with cold milk. Some cereal manufacturers even go on to state the temperature of milk to be used.
        Cereal is often fortified with vitamins but may still lack many of the vitamins needed for a healthy breakfast. Many cereals are marketed towards children, they may make use of cartoon mascots and even contain a toy in order to boost their sales.
        Here are some facts to help decide for yourself wether cereal served with cold milk trumps cereal served with hot milk.

1. Digestion
        There are many ways of improving digestion such as drinking water and proper chewing of food. Eating hoter foods is known to improve digestion rather than eating colder food which tends to slow down digestion.

2. Nutritional Value
        Cereal makers often fortify cereals with vitamins to improve its nutritional content as well as wow customers. Hot cereal may cause the degradation of some nutrients present in the cereal.

3. Taste
        In the taste department I can't say that cereal with hot milk taste better than cereal with cold milk (although I prefer hot milk and cereal ^_^). It is actually based on the individual, some people believe hot milk with cereal tastes better while others believe cold milk with cereal taste better. Tell us what you think in the comments section.

4. Structure       
        A lot of individuals complain about the sogginess of hot milk on cereal this can actually affect the way you enjoy the cereal such as affecting the crunchiness of the cereal an so on. Cold milk may actually be preferable for cereal that is easily affected by hot milk but you could try warm milk as well.

5. Hydration(additional info)
        Recently milk has been found to be more hydrating than water this is due to the fact that milk retains in the body for a longer period of time. So a bowl of cereal may be more hydrating than you think.

Conclusion
         Both hot and cold cereal are great and can be applied in different occasions,  hot cereal may be preferred in winter and cold cereal on a hot day.
