Anonymous asked: What is so wrong with bread!? Is it really that bad for you!!??

A lot of us may already know that white bread is unhealthy. Some of us may reason that as long as we are buying whole grain bread, we are making a healthy choice.

If you ask me (which you did, right?) I’ll tell you that most “Whole Wheat Bread” is poison too! I’m talking about commercial processed breads – most of which (among other undesirable ingredients) – include bromide (more on this evil chemical soon). Oftentimes, sadly enough, if its a typical highly processed commercial bread, the fact that it is whole wheat doesn’t make it much better than choosing its white brother.

I don’t buy the argument that commercial/processed whole wheat bread is still healthy because all the vitamins and minerals (calcium, iron, vitamin E, etc) are added back to the flour as part of the process. Its still no match for the naturally occurring nutrients that were there in the first place! Also, the companies are using them in their synthetic form, which are not able to properly adapt to our bodies.

Processed bread is treated with a variety of chemicals from the ground to production in order to “bleach” the flour and prevent it from sticking- such as:

insecticides
fungicides
benzoyl peroxide or chlorine dioxide (known to cause cancer)
methyl bromide
nitrogen trichloride
alum
ammonium carbonate
nitrogen peroxide
Yuck!

These “hidden ingredients” can cause:

allergies that manifest as bloating, diarrhoea, eczema, asthma, headache or general malaise or lack of energy
leaky gut syndrome
growth of unfriendly toxin generating bacteria in the gut
slowing of bowel transit time, so toxic substances are in contact with the bowel for longer
It sure makes me crazy that someone would buy a refined, processed “whole wheat plus fiber” bread at their grocery store, hoping it is what they need to support the gastrointestinal tract and help flush out toxins. When they are getting the opposite!
