Have you ever wondered – what would it take to press together a whole loaf of bread into something that fits in one’s shirt pocket.
Why Bread is (or can be) Bad for You?
Have you ever noticed how eating bread can leave an area with plenty of crumbs. Mr. Adrian Monk may not approve.
A refined grain is created when a whole
grain is finely ground and stripped of its bran
and germ, the elements that contain fiber,
vitamins and minerals. White bread is made
from refined grains, which are low in
magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, fiber and
essential fatty acids. Even though some
manufacturers add vitamins back in, natural
whole grains are still a superior choice.
White bread has a high glycemic
index because it's made from refined
grains that are rapidly absorbed
during digestion, causing sharp spikes
in blood sugar and insulin levels which
increases your risk for weight gain,
type 2 diabetes and heart disease,
according to the Harvard School of
Public Health.
Gluten related disorders, including celiac disease
and gluten sensitivity, can cause a range of adverse
reactions in the human body after the consumption
of white bread. Cutting out gluten can lead to
weight loss—but not for the reason gluten-free
advocates think. A strict gluten-free diet forces you
to stay away from some refined carbohydrates that
can lead to weight gain.
Refined Grain = Low Fiber High Glycemic Index Gluten
