Is White Bread really healthy?
Though White bread has become so much a part of our comfort and convenience, and remains the first choice for a quick bite, it provides us with the least nutrition and health. However, as far as it keeps us filled, we think that the white bread we eat, be it Britannia, wibs or modern, is healthy for us. But this is a misconception! Here are the reasons why it is unhealthy:
- Processed: White bread is processed, and anything that is processed, is not nutritional at all because all the nutrients, including the essential vitamins are lost in the process.
- Less amount of fiber: In white bread, says Dr Iyengar, there is meager amount of Fiber present and because white bread is low on fibre, there occur spikes in blood sugar which in turn lead to problems of weight gain, diabetes and may indirectly lead to problems with cholesterol.
- The colour white: The flour used to make white bread is chemically bleached. So when you are eating white bread, you are also eating residual chemical bleach. Flour mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty bad.
