Is brown bread better than white bread?
White bread is basically white flour. Intake of white bread over a period of time can cause obesity and digestive problems. Also white bread is formed when the wheat is heated to such a point, that the germ and the bran come off. The only thing left is the white starch which is the undesirable part. On the other hand, brown bread comprises whole grains that are rich in anti-oxidants like iron, magnesium, Vitamin B and Vitamin E, selenium etc. But the best part about brown bread is its rich fiber content which works as a bowel stimulant and takes care of digestive problems and constipation. Presence of fiber removes the risk of colon cancer, breast cancer and also helps in lowering blood pressure. Since brown bread has zero calories, it is very good for health and does not make you fat.
