I don't eat white bread here, but like it overseas.
This may be something you won’t be too pleased to hear, but if you want to improve your health, lose some weight and avoid the possibility of ending up with type II diabetes, then white bread will have to go.
- White bread is made from refined white flour
- Refined white flour is bleached using chemical bleaching agents
- This insipid, bland, tasteless powder then has gluten added
- Its like eating cardboard, such is its blandness and lack of any useful dietary benefit whatsoever.
- White bread contains a large proportion of high GI (glycemic index) carbohydrates.
- It raise levels of bad LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream.
- White bread slow down body’s metabolism.
- The lack of dietary fibre leads to constipation.
- Is stripped of most of its fiber and other nutrients as a result of processing.
Common ( not artisan) white bread is just plain yuk!
And they are usually chemically enriched with vitamins in those commercially processed bread !!!
Artisan white bread actually great in taste and aroma. Commercially, white bread isnt actually white unless it is being bitched oops bleached.
But then it is more commercially viable as consumers like things to be package as such even though it is just the artificial impression.
It's anonymous I think Roosty! I eat white or wheat! I'm partial to Nature's Own Wheat bread but they're about to price themselves outta my budget at at an astronomically ridiculous $2.50 or more a loaf!
Yep. We're paying $3.10 per loaf here (at Walmart. Imagine the prices of the other grocery stores)
Shopping has become an art and a science if one wants to try and feed the family tasty but healthy foods.

I agree. I easily spend double the time I should at the grocery store bc I am the annoying customer who reads labels.
Granted, if I want to eat something with some more fat or sugar I will, but I want to enjoy that fat and sugar and choose where it is coming from carefully.
The upside is that I never - or close to never - buy prepackaged anything, including bread. I bake everything at home and at least am able to choose the ingredients wisely.
Products with a large list of ingredients freak me out!
It has to be white bread when you fish for bluegills or catfish using doughballs for bait.
lol
A fishery in England has become the first in the country to veto white bread amid fears it's unhealthy for the fish, the Telegraph reports.
Some experts say white bread lacks the protein contained in other varieties and too much of it leaves fish bloated and lethargic.
If it's standard, machine-cut mass-produced loaf bread for sandwiches or toast, I always opt for whole grain. I hate the spongy consistency of sandwich loafs, overall, and rarely eat it.
Me too. At first read, I thought the OP was about sandwich bread, but I guess I never thought about other types of bread being classified as "white."
Sandwich white bread sticks to the roof of my mouth and I have to scrape it off. Not very attractive.
The only time I'll eat it is when I have my once-in-a-while fast food indulgence (usually hamburgers or chicken sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A). For sandwich and toast I make at home, I try to get whole grain bread, even though it's more expensive.
