Bread and Health: A Personal Matter
This post is good news for people who love bread but it means that the gut health of an individual needs to be sorted out. It is true, Bread has been blamed for obesity and Wheat flour was said to be the culprit.
Newswise — Bread occupies a unique place in our diet: it accounts for about one-tenth of the calories many people in the West consume and up to 40 percent of the caloric consumption in some non-Western countries – more than any other food product. In the past few decades, since white bread has acquired a bad name, bakeries have been going out of their way to produce high-quality whole grain breads. But a new study conducted at the Weizmann Institute of Science and published recently in Cell Metabolism reveals that these “wholesome” choices are not necessarily the healthiest for everyone.
