Seriously. It's such a pain to shop. I've, thankfully, managed to find one brand of 100% whole wheat bread that has <1g added sugar. All the rest were crazy levels for bread imo.
And protein bars, despite being labeled as 'healthy', usually contain tons of added sugar, sadly. Or, just as bad, they have sugar alcohols to make them sweeter. It'd be nice to just find one that only has sugar from what's in it, without all the added stuff. Closest I've gotten to zero is one with 2g sugar and 2g sugar alcohols.
As for the addiction, you're 100% right. I used to drink way too much sweet tea a day. I went without for only a week and the first one I drank after that was just not flavorful. It was quite disgusting. I've since added it back in from time to time, but mostly I just drink unsweet anymore.
- Ancalagon 5y agoIs this the Dave's Power Bread? That's what I've switched to but I just recently realized they still add stevia as a sweetener. Wondering if there is an even plainer version of bread with that level of sugar (< 1g)
- dorchadas 5y agoIt's Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat. I get it from Kroger. Total sugars are <1g, all of which seems to be added. The only sweetener I see on the ingredients list is brown sugar, but the FDA defines that as an added sugar so it's taken into account.
