Whole Wheat Bread VS White Bread

[Netherspark]

There is a massive misconception that anything that isn't "good" for you is automatically "bad", and that something said to be healthy means it actually benefits you.

Alot of people believe that eating "healthy" food improves your body, as if consuming it grants you a special state of super-health.... but it's not as simple as that. "Healthy food" is just NORMAL food, it doesn't make you fit, it doesn't make you strong - it just makes you normal.

Realistically there are three types of food: Nutritious food, less nutritious food and bad food. Very little food is actually "bad", most of what people eat is "less nutritious".

Brown bread is more nutritious than white, but that doesn't make white bad, just less good.

"Healthy food" is just NORMAL food, it doesn't make you fit, it doesn't make you strong - it just makes you normal.

These days, "normal" is way above average. I'm struggling to reach normal.

However, I tend towards organic, yada, yada type foods not for a belief in their health benefits, but because they taste better. Which comes down to what isn't in them, rather then what is.

Brown bread <3 My parents hate it so if we have it i consider it a luxury :P

I don't know if it's just me, but that didn't make a lick of sense.

Peanut butter sandwiches are incredibly nasty on wheat bread (I know, I worded that weird)

Every day for breakfast I have a glass of chocolate mink (powder) and for food I dip 1-2 pieces of White bread into the milk, it absorbs it perfectly. For the the bullshit healthy part, I am extremely happy with my life, doesn't look like snorlax so yah, White bread > healthy boring bread.. Rather eat something you like instead of forcing yourself to eat something that might be good. Quality > quantity. (I wont come back to this thread most likely so don't bother bashing me with your salads etc. Ty)

I prefer wheat bread to white bread, but if I have a choice I always go with potato bread. Specifically the brand Martin's. Good stuff.

I'm not sure which is more boring, plain white or something that has colors.

Just let the wheat bread get moldy, then you can feel the colors that taste like music.

I love whole wheat bread! And when it has other grains as well, yum! I can't stand "enriched flour" breads. Tastes fake.

[Racthoh]

white bread tastes great but it no good for you. but still fuck whole wheat.

[Shennanigans]

Try the whole wheat white type it's much more palatable.

Where is the Bread?

[Gothicshark]

I gotta say, after trying whole wheat bread several times I just cant get myself to like it. I dont know if its the color, or the different taste. I know Whole Wheat is healthier because there are more nutrients, but you can get white bread that has the flour enriched (nutrients added back in). Some people actually say White bread is BAD for you but I couldnt seem to find a reference that says why. I can understand whole wheat being more nutritious, but why would white bread actually be BAD for you.

Depends on the source of the Bread, most retail bread white and whole wheat have added fillers. (you don't want to eat fillers)

However, local bakeries and specialist breads normally do not contain fillers.

On this not I make bread ever few days, I make it from pure flour, water yeast, pinch of salt, pinch of sugar. it comes out excellent and is healthy.

GIMME!


I used to swear by white, then forced myself to switch to wheat. Now white bread just tastes like yeast.

I only buy wheat bread for home, but I like all sorts of breads for different sandwiches. It's pretty hard to beat a pastrami on rye.

[Raintola]

Yea well, I blame the 1950's. Ironically, the Japanese perfectly square white bread is rather tasty and stems from the same "mayo and processed meat" background post WWII.

That looks awesome.

But yeah, I'll eat most bread. Cornbread's fantastic, though I prefer the sweet kind.

Rasin bread but its so damn expensive :/

[Daws001]

I tried white bread a year or so ago and it was gross. It stuck to the roof of my mouth and formed like a pasty glob. /hurl

I have to agree with this, and I didn't even realize until I read it, and then I felt like gagging at the thought of peanut butter on wheat...thanks

Also, clearly it's Potato>Rye>White>Wheat. Obviously a fact and not just my opinion >.> <.<

I mean, I'll eat wheat bread, if it's all there is left.

I think Potato is the most unhealthiest for you for some reason though....swore I heard that somewhere
