lesson no40: white bread vs wheat bread...


+ it wont knocked on my head until someone came out with the statement. and probably im assured was not the only one who didnt know about this at all. plus, we have not been provided with the latest facts and findings. here it is... i'll spill out the beans just for us to share...

+ In a 10-year Harvard study completed in 1994, men and women who ate high-fiber breads had fewer heart attacks and strokes than those whose tastes ran to bagels and baguettes.

+ Simply switching from white to whole wheat bread can lower heart disease risk by 20 percent, according to research from the University of Washington reported in the April 2, 2003 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

+ Fiber has long been known to aid digestive health too.

+ Fiber can help you lose or maintain weight because eating fiber-dense wheat bread helps you feel full.

How can I tell if bread is really whole wheat?

+ Color used to be a clue, but no more. Although white bread is white because it’s been bleached, some dark bread has just had caramel coloring added to it. Look for “whole grain” or “whole wheat” as the first ingredient on the label. If any other ingredient is first, put the loaf back and keep looking.

+ just a portion from the whole readings that i've been through. check here, here and there...
