I knew they were extra sweet and had sugar added but I still think they're a better alternative than brown/white sugar IF you have a need for sweet.

Well, the sugar in them is simply white sugar so you might as well just spoon sugar into your oatmeal.  The only thing you are getting extra out of the ginger is the flavor and there are other ways to do that (a little will go a long way, so add cautiously).  And hey, if you don't mind the sugar, have at it.  I'm not trying to dictate, just to educate.   :)
