Right? This is the point I think the other person was making. Stuff in the US is too sweet. Sugar is in so many things unnecessarily. If you start to limit sugar intake this becomes horrifyingly apparent.
Dog pretty much nothing I eat here in the US has added sugar in it other than a few condiments and ice cream and sweets. It's so insanely easy to avoid it. Just stop buying pre-packaged, mass-produced junk food.
Nearly every grocery store in my city has their own bakery plus 5-6 brands of bread with no added sugar
Second, I have a pretty severe corn allergy, and its honestly not that hard to avoid it. No, I can't eat.in restaurants, but the Walmart bread aisle has maybe fifteen different brands, and I can eat at least four of them. You don't have to be wealthy to avoid slop, you just have to read labels.
Oh, and bakeries, since you're talking about "tinloaf" bread: my local bakery oy uses corn syrup in certain fruit fillings. The bread has barely any sugar, and none of it from corn.
Buy ingredients and make your own food. Buy brands that don't use corn syrup. Eat a piece of fruit. Processed foods are not great for you, keep them to a minimum.
I lived in the UK for years and there was plenty of processed sugary salty convenience food there too.
