> It's also virtually impossible to find affordable, off-the-shelf bread loaves that don't have added sugar (in the US), it's ridiculous. I'm not sure this is the case if you look. I live in the upper Midwest and we have many options to buy fresh (daily baked) at many locations around my metro. I just looked at their nutrition guide [0] for their breads and most of the standard, non-dessert breads (except "white") don't have added sugar and only a handful of whole ingredients. I look at most labels these days and don't buy bread used for sandwiches or toast with sugar. I can't remember the last time I had an issue finding something. As for price I guess that's subjective but I don't find those breads much more expensive in general. [0] http://breadsmithmn.com/nutrition.html http://breadsmithmn.com/nutrition.html

As a note, "sugar" isn't the only added sugar ingredient you'll find in bread, or really any packaged food. For instance, I read through the nutrition guide for Breadsmith's breads and rolls, 28 of their 44 offerings have some form of an added sugar (see: malt syrup, honey, granulated sugar, molasses). I wouldn't qualify that as "most" although it's certainly not slim pickings overall. The label may not say "sugar" but it can be there in many different ways. See https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/56-different-names-for-sugar#section6 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/56-different-names-for-..., one of the first results I came across that only lists a fraction of the possibilities.
