Main issue is not so much the added sugar but the glycemic load of the cereal. This is a consequence of the type of starch that in the product e.g. Kellogg's Cornflakes have little added sugar but the starch is converted to sugar very rapidly. So you can't make healthy judgments based on presence of added sugar alone. Most grain cereals have a high glycemic load and I'd suggest that this may not be the best choice if you are trying to eat better. Maximizing the fibre content of a cereal or muesli with added bran will help to reduce the glycemic load. Otherwise the suggestions here of a yoghurt/ fruit bowl or making some oatmeal/porridge might be a better breakfast.
