Just read your great comparison on cereal and discovered Uncle Sam’s cereal while on ediets.
Question:
Isn’t it SOLUBLE fiber you want in your diet more than dietary fiber. It’s the sluble fiber which reduces cholesterol.
thanks

I recently purchased a box of Uncle Sam original, at Super-Walmart. I live in eastern NC, and I don’t know if it’s available nationwide in Walmart.

I bought my first box of Uncle Sam Cereal tonight and just had a bowl. It’s a very nice cereal and the taste is far from offensive. I notice on the box that there are several products that my store doesn’t carry, an instant oatmeal and a cereal with berries. Then I went to General Mills web site and found that there are also several other products by Uncle Sam that I don’t have a source for.

Someone needs to get on the ball and put this product in all it’s variations on the web…please.

(I’m recovering from colon surgery and this is a recommended product to keep me regular…)

I have the same problem as Connie. I’m on the South Beach Diet and can’t find Uncle Sam or anything comparable. I was looking at bran cereals today too, but even the bran buds are just full of sugar!

Adelina: Cinnamon life has about 12mg of iron, compared to 16mg for regular life. As I mentioned earlier, most added vitamins and minerals are unnecessary if you eat a healthy diet.I don't have any recipes with breakfast cereals, per se, though you could probably substitute Uncle Sam cereal for the flax seed in my banana bread recipe.

It is difficult to find grain products (cereals, breads, etc) that are not fortified nor contain enriched flour. I’ve been searching for low folic acid cereals because my daughter is folic acid restricted two days a week (and folic acid supplemented the remaining seven days). It is complex, but has to do with weekly chemotherapy treatments.

Thanks for creating this easy to read comparison. Uncle Sam cereal has just been added to our family’s grocery list!

General Mills' web site doesn't show anything in Canada; and I didn't see any Safeway stores. (I didn't search the entire country, but assumed that if it wasn't in Toronto or Calgary, there was not likely one at all.)Since the cereal has few ingredients, you could theoretically make your own. Bobs Red Mill carries both rolled wheat flakes, flax seed, and even Barley Malt Extract.

Yo! I live in Canada and just discovered your site while searching for a purchasing source for Uncle Sam cereal, as mentioned in the South Beach Diet book. Following some rather extensive research, I have not been able to discover where to purchase said cereal. I know for a fact that it is not commonly available in Canada. I am told that there an online site where we can purchase. The very company that produces this products appears to not be selling across the border… Can someone help!!!

Many thanks

Thanks for the great comparison. Do you have one for Uncle Sam & Apple Cinnamon Cheerios?

Dad just introduced me to Uncle Sam & I really like it. Unfortunately, it’s going to be expensive to have it shipped to S. Korea.
