I thought that too. And then I actually checked the nutrition labels for Cheerios and Rice Krispies, etc.
Of the ones you listed, only Shredded Wheat has less than 5g sugar per serving.
- jacobolus 8y agoCheerios is 1g sugar per cup of cereal according to the label on the box in my pantry, etc.
- cimmanom 8y agoAre you in the US? Last I looked in the grocery store (about 3 months ago), it was 9g.

You were probably looking at one of the sugar-added variants like Honey Nut Cheerios, Very Berry Cheerios, Chocolate Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, ...
- cimmanom 8y agoI suppose that's possible. Anyway, the rest of the cereals in that list do have significant amounts of sugar per serving.
- jacobolus 8y agoThe rest on my list were all <5g of sugar per serving. I explicitly checked most of them. There are several other similar commonly available breakfast cereals which also have <5g of sugar per serving. I can believe that your particular market didn’t stock any of the 50-year-old classic cereal brands and only stocked sugar-added cereals (frosted this, honey that, marshmallow everything), but among American markets I have seen it is typical to have at least 4 or 5 choices of low-sugar cold breakfast cereals on the shelf, as well as several choices of low-sugar hot cereals. [Of course, as I said before, they are all still pure processed carbs, and not the best regular breakfast.]
