Less Sugar Cereals

As a kid, I remember a large variety of cereals.
Cookie Crisp
And some cereals I don't remember when looking through google images:
Sugar smacks?
Mr. T?
Ah yes.. the old lucky charms
I was surprised to hear that new "less sugar" cereals were coming out:
A big question.. is are cereals healthy and good for you? Arguably, the concept of a cereal is a very processed food with added nutrients. If you have to have your cereal binge howcookingworks recommends:
Try to choose a cereal that doesn't overly have a lot of sugar and added things in it. For example, cereal milk turning into milk chocolate or more marshmallows than flakes is a bad sign.
Try to add natural sugars to it. Meaning, add a banana, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries on top. Some of these fruits may not be in season, so try your best with what you have.
Try to use your common sense when buying a cereal. Eating cookies for breakfast? I don't think that sounds too healthy....
Add if you have grapenuts.. I highly recommend microwaving it, because I have bad memories of my mouth hurting.
