Of course all of those brands contain a small amount of sugar, Dave.
The thing is some of them (such as original Cheerios, which I love)
don't taste sweet. But they do contain sugar.

I doubt you can completely get away from *any* added sugar. However,
the amount is likely miniscule unless you're buying something like
Frosted Flakes. Maybe that's where the line of demarcation is in your
store's cereal aisle.

I'm not sure why the OP wants/needs to completely avoid sugar. I tend
to avoid sweet tasting food. But dry cereal doesn't have to taste sweet
or be loaded with sugar. It simply contains sugar.

He's already stated he doesn't want to eat *hot* cereal. He's not
interested in porridge/parritch/oatmeal/Maypo or Cream of Wheat. Or
grits. LOL
