Healthiest Breakfast Cereal

There are many breakfast cereals which claim to be healthy. There are 2 children in our house and we get through a fair number of different sorts of cereals (here in the UK). The table below is a list of what we've got at the moment and I'll aim to add to it as the cereal range in our breakfast cupboard evolves...

I'm judging healthiest by least amount of sugar. Values below are grams in 100g of product. Main ingredient is the first thing listed on the ingredients list.
