RE: Is White Bread Worse For Blood Sugar Than Whole Wheat Bread?
I've heard some "health pros" compare white bread and whole wheat bread as coke vs Diet Coke. Neither is really heathy for you. Flour isn't a whole food. Also, flour by itself tastes pretty terrible...you have to add things like salt, sugar, oils, etc to give it flavor. Better off sticking to whole natural foods.
I do not know how you can live without bread, but I'm enjoying it right now. Freshly baked bread with butter - mmm.
And comparison of bread with coke is incorrect. During World War II a lot of people survived eating only bread. Can one survive drinking coke?
It's a good comparison. Most bread is junk, and the ones that are actually very healthy are often too expensive for most people. That's just how it is though, we live in a society where junk food is the cheapest option a lot of the times.
Junk food is cheap and convenient, but you get what you pay for. Another problem with the breads found in supermarkets is the additives. If you look carefully, lots of them use High Fructose Corn Syrup and preservatives. The ingredients look like a small paragraph.
Thanks for your input!
No prob. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the taste of bread and will eat it on occasion. Just like everything in life...do it in moderation. I just feel that some people eat way too much whole wheat bread and think it's healthy for them. It's very easy to overconsume carbs.
Wise words. Very true.
