The real issue isn't grains imo, it's grains that had all the fibre removed. White bread is terrible for you. Brown bread is good for you, good for cholesterol

White bread is terrible for you. Brown bread is good for you, good for cholesterol(due to soluble fiber), has a low glycemic index(due to insoluble fiber), and has much more protein, vitamins and minerals than white bread.
I honestly believe white flour is much more responsible for lifestyle related health issues in the US than anything else.
Turns out, stripping the nutrients out of your food is bad.
- kmarc 3y agoJust careful with how "brown" it is. I saw stores selling sliced brown bread that differ from white bread only due food coloring. FWIW the packaging doesn't state it's more fibrous or healthier... This is, I guess, the same trap people walk into, as with the "100% natural" (therefore assumably healthier) juices.
