Tips on choosing the best bread
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Pop quiz time! Which of the following breads is the healthiest: Rye, multigrain, whole wheat, white, or 12 grain? The answer is plain old whole wheat. Surprised? You're not alone.
A visit to the bread department in your supermarket can be overwhelming and confusing. There are so many varieties that look and sound like they're the best for you, but really, they might not be. Web MD has put together this informative video on breads, explaining the ins and outs of the bread aisle. As for why whole wheat is your best bet? It's probably the only one that actually uses whole grain flour -- the rest are likely just white bread with some seeds mixed in.
I'm pretty simple so I've always stuck to whole wheat anyway. What about you?
