“People, get off the white breads, fried foods and sugars. It is killing you. Eat whole grains and real food.”
How is it that our ancestors, back to nncient times (the Romans for example) managed to live on diets that consisted mostly of bread or some form of it. That included white bread and dark grains. Ir waS not chock full of additives or weird chemicals, but it was grains, and it was bread. whole grains, even if white, are good. All over the world people eat bread. All of my relatives ate a lifetime of bread, and most lived past 70 years, many into their late 80’s or early 90’s. They ate Butternut bread and Wonder bread too. I just don’t understand this latest bias and fad against bread. Fiber is good.
Bake your own bread. Anyone can do it now with bread machines. I know, I recently started making the bulk of my own bread in my bread machine. Tastes great and you can control what goes into it. I refuse to jump on the anti-bread bandwagon. You just need to eat it in moderation, like any other food. And pasta too. I love my protein as well. Again, moderation should be the operative word (not so easy for some, including myself, I must admit). But to select out a food that has been a staple throughout history for modern day vilification is ridiculous, IMHO.
By white bread, I meant non-whole grain processed breads. I was not vilifying all bread, just the processed crap that has no nutrition and is just quickly processed by our bodies into sugar. Sorry if my terminology was not precise.
