Can't stand whole wheat bread and pasta? You're probably tickled to find all sorts of products in the grocery store that proclaim 'whole wheat benefits with the taste and texture of white. It's almost too good to be true!
Actually, as it happens, it is too good to be true, at least in the case of Sara Lee's Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White. The bread maker was recently sued for not making it clear enough that it's not whole grain bread. Truth be told, the bread only has 30% whole grains and is made up mostly of water and refined flours. So nutritionally speaking, you're not really doing yourself much good by choosing this bread.
I guess this goes to show that when it comes to healthy eating, there's no cutting corners. What do you think?
