Only Whole Wheat??? - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

OK so I know white bread is NO GOOD and whole wheat/grain is the healthier way to go so my question is what about other breads like Seeded Rye or Pumpernickle(sp?) How are they?

I do like Whole Wheat but I love love rye bread and I just wanted to see if it was any better for me than plain old white bread.....

Thanks-a-mucho!!!

Most of those breads are whole grain, as well as having individual benefits, so they're good for you too! Even white bread isn't the DEVIL, it's just not optimal if you're looking to have bread that's nutrient rich..

before selecting a healthful bread, you should read the book dangerous grains..

Jade,

The package should say something like "100% whole grains". Read the list of ingredients. It should say whole grain everything (whole rye, whole wheat), and not "wheat flour", which is really white flour. Many breads have wheat flour (white) in them because it makes for a more tender bread.

Jade,
Yes, whole grain IS better, however, if you suffer from ANY adverse conditions such as GI upset etc, then I would try to avoid wheat since wheat causes many problems for some people. Plus, I wouldn't OVERDUE wheat products.
