Cereal, of any sort, other than whole-grain such as oatmeal. They put cereals through a wide variety of processing including high heat and extrusion under extreme pressure, which radically changes the molecular structure. I truly believe it is a non-food. In the book Beating the Food Giants the author tells of a study where rats were fed strictly cereal and water and they died within a couple of weeks (at least I think it's in this book; either way it is a good read).
Actually when I think about it, I avoid just about everything in the middle of the store. I shop the produce, meat and dairy, and that is about it.
