Why is wheat bread better than white bread?
Short and simple: Your body processes the carbs (sugars) in white bread quickly which increases the amount of insulin your body releases to balance the sugars in your blood. You get a good rush of energy from white bread, but it will not last long. Your body processes the carbs (sugars) in wheat bread very slowly, which means your insulin release mechanism is not overworked, it does not have to work overtime to regulate the sugar in your blood. Because the nutrients move through your body slowly, you don’t get that high from the rush of sugars and your body stays satisfied longer. I know what he means…if you look at the nutritional content, there is no difference. It is about your body’s reaction to the bread. By the way – wheat breads that you buy at the grocery store are often not really made any different than white bread. Look for WHOLE wheat bread, or WHOLE grain bread. You can also tell by looking at the fiber content. If it has more than 2 or 3 grams of fiber, it is the bread
