Also chemicals and preservatives are part of the mix to increase its shelf life. Still, it is certainly a healthier alternative to the white bread. The flour in white bread is white through finer grinding and sifting (not through bleaching) and in the process many phytonutrients are lost. The carbohydrates in the white bread are easily digested and almost immediately converted to blood sugar. That results in weight gain or hampers weight loss. In the wholegrain bread varieties the structure of the carbohydrates is more complex as less fiber and wheat germ has been lost in the milling process. As a result, your body gets the fuel it needs for physical or mental activity at a more measured pace. The fibers preserved in the larger unmilled particles of flour will improve your intestinal activity, The vitamins and minerals give your body the necessary energy boost. Watch out for preservatives in whole wheat bread. Try an artisanal bakery or bake yourself for a change. I am sure, you and your family will taste the difference.

Here's why: Because white bread has been processed (to make it white, flour is not naturally white, it is light brown), it breaks down more easily in your stomach. The high content of carbohydrates, historically shown in hunter gatherer groups that have become farmers, in one's diet promotes health problems such as obesity, cavities (in the teeth) and malnutrition. White bread breaks down quickly into sugar (which then turns into fat when not used), has less fiber (to aid digestive functions and slow breaking-down process), and is less nutritious than whole wheat bread. The bleaching process of the flour takes away many vitamins and minerals usually found in darker varieties of bread. Keep eating the whole wheat bread.

No, it's better to eat wheat it has good and healthy grains and is good for your heart. I suggest to keep eating wheat but also try it in different varieties, like maybe with some kinds of walnuts in it or with a slight taste of honey, mostly anything! Also stay away from potato bread, that's the worst kind of bread there is!
