Years ago I used to buy sugar free cereal; cornflakes or bran. (I just don't like the sugar.) This seems to be unavailable today. Does anyone have a source for this?

Your grocery stores don't carry non-sugared cereals. They all do around here. The breakfast cereal aisle is split roughly 50-50 with sugared and non-sugared cereals. I have no problem getting Shredded Wheat, corn flacks, bran flakes, Shreddies, Cheerios, Wheatabix, Muffets and a few others. Some of those might have a small amount of sugar to make them more edible, but you can always make yourself some porridge and know it is sugar free. |

I eat old-fashioned oatmeal several times a week, and I haven't added sugar since I was a teenager (a *long* time ago). There are also some other cooked cereal that I think do not contain sugar.

I just bought many different kinds online but I can't remember which website. Might have been Vitacost. You can also buy one kind of Fiber One at most stores. It's the one that looks like twigs. It is either sugar free of very low in sugar. |

The thing is some of them (such as original Cheerios, which I love) don't taste sweet. But they do contain sugar. I doubt you can completely get away from *any* added sugar. However, the amount is likely miniscule unless you're buying something like Frosted Flakes. Maybe that's where the line of demarcation is in your store's cereal aisle. ![]() I'm not sure why the OP wants/needs to completely avoid sugar. I tend to avoid sweet tasting food. But dry cereal doesn't have to taste sweet or be loaded with sugar. It simply contains sugar. He's already stated he doesn't want to eat *hot* cereal. He's not interested in porridge/parritch/oatmeal/Maypo or Cream of Wheat. Or grits. LOL Jill |

To me that was the most frightening part. I have always hated ice cream and I knew that it would be pushed on me afterwards. And it was in the form of milkshakes which to me are far worse than plain ice cream. My mom claims that the only thing I would eat was poached eggs but I find that really hard to believe. I have never been an egg lover and I really hated poached ones. She would often confuse what my brother and I liked. I know he loved poached eggs. |

He's not > interested in porridge/parritch/oatmeal/Maypo or Cream of Wheat. Or > grits. LOL Most cereals do contain sugar. Some are sweetened with fruit juice but they are still sweetened. You can get some without but in terms of finding them in your regular grocery store, you may not. Or if you do it will be just one or two kinds. I was not allowed to have any sugar when I was pregnant so I bought some sugar free stuff at the health food store. It was pretty icky. This is the stuff that Angela loves. http://www.fiberone.com/products/cereal/original It does not contain sugar but it does contain Sucralose which is a non-nutritive sweetener. This is where I recently bought cereal. As you can see, some, such as the puffed rice or the shredded wheat have no sweeteners at all. Some have honey, cane syrup or maple syrup. You have to look at the ingredients. But these unsweetened ones are not likely to be at your local grocery store unless perhaps they have a health food section. http://www.vitacost.com/productresul...real&ta=cereal Another thing that the OP might consider is popcorn. It is often eaten as a cereal in the Midwest. My mom liked to put it in a tall glass, pour milk over it and eat it with an iced tea spoon. My uncle said at his house they just used leftover popped popcorn as they would a breakfast cereal. Put in a bowl and pour milk over. |

Because I've lived in the Midwest all my life (first Illinois, now Missouri) and I have never heard of this or seen anyone do it. I've asked coworkers who come from other parts (Iowa, Indiana, Kansas) and they've never heard of it either. |

I don't think it's just my family. My uncle is not a blood relative and he lived in Iowa. We always joked that popcorn was a food group because we had it pretty much every day. Perhaps it was done mainly by those who grew it on their farm? Dunno. But I have read of it elsewhere plenty of times. Such as stories in The Good Old Days. |

It's about as crazy as her claim that in the Midwest we use potato chips in casseroles as the starch as well. We only use them as topping! -- jinx the minx |

In looking it up, I see that it dates back to colonial times. My uncle (sadly he died recently) was a Quaker. You wouldn't know it by looking at him. No, he didn't resemble the guy on the oatmeal canister. |
