[quote=Anonymous]It is hilarious to me how many people want to be willfully obtuse about this. There is a ton of research out now about why ULTRA processed food is bad for us. Avoiding upfs means avoiding food with ingredients you can’t pronounce and sugar of all the various types. Bread made with just yeast, flour, oil, salt, and water? That’s not upf. Here are the ingredients in Safeways white bread :

Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Yeast, Sugar, Contains Less than 2% of Each of the Following: Soybean Oil, Salt, Calcium Propionate (a Preservative), Vinegar, Guar Gum, Ascorbic Acid (Dough Conditioner), Vegetable Oil (Contains One or More of the Following: Canola Oil, Soybean Oil, High Oleic Soybean Oil), Distilled Monoglycerides, Wheat Flour, DATEM, Whole Wheat Flour, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Contains One or More of the Following: Soybean Oil, Palm Oil, Cottonseed Oil), Mineral Oil, Inactive Yeast, Enzymes, Sunflower Oil, Soy Lecithin.

OP, the best way to replace buns and crackers are to make them yourself. I switched to making all of our flour containing items (crackers, bread, waffles, buns, cornbread, biscuits, cookies, cakes etc) myself a few years ago and it’s not hard once you get in the groove.

For oats I think you could just eat any kind of plain oats, it doesn’t have to be steel cut. However Costco has steel cut oats really cheap and I switched to those awhile ago. I make them in my rice cooker.

Honestly the best way to avoid upfs is to make things from scratch, which is not as hard as people make it out to be. I batch cook and freeze a lot of things which is how I make it all work. [/quote]
