So, which is better?

Wheat Bread or White Bread

Due to whole wheat bread’s ‘high fibre’ and
micronutrient content, as well as lower
Glycaemic Index (GI) and Insulin index,
(which means less insulin is released after a
meal), white bread gets the bad reputation.
 However...
• The differences are actually minimal between
the two.
• The ‘high fibre’ content isn’t that high when
you compare it to fruit and vegetables, where
you are more likely to get your daily fibre
intake anyway.
• Even though white bread has lots of
micronutrients removed during processing,
many are fortified (re-added) with additional
nutrients.
For a fact:
Despite many studies looking at which bread
is the healthiest, it is still not clear what effect
bread and differences among bread types
have on clinically relevant parameters and on
the microbiome. In the journal Cell Metabolism
on June 6, 2017 Weizmann Institute
researchers report the results of a
comprehensive, randomized trial in 20 healthy
subjects comparing differences in how
processed white bread and artisanal whole
wheat affect the body.
