Awesome explanation regarding the toxic ingredients. I wouldn’t touch most processed breads today. There is a store in central NY that sells their name-brand bread and it contains omega fatty acids and PORK Gelatin…..yuk. I guess that’s great if you want a double SPAM sandwich, but for me I find it a little disturbing.

I recommend just getting back to basics and making bread at home.

I love this blog
Much better than the last blog I read on why bromide is bad for you!

This is why I make my own home made bread from scratch!

Bread has been a staple of diets for centuries across many societies. When did it become the most wicked thing in the world because this post is giving me such an impression.

Thanks for writing such a great article! You covered many of the key problems… Most people are not aware of what bromide does to your thyroid, it competes with iodine. So even if you think you are getting enough iodine you do not get it to the right place.add to this water with flouride and your thyroid gets even less iodine, therefore your thyroid becomes under active and you start getting fat! right, the high carb bread, mostly made with oil that has been heated therefore becoming trans fat…ouch…fat and unhealthy! I live in Michigan and we are becoming fat because of this duel problem…I grew up on wonder bread but like a lot of kids in the 1960’s, I use to walk 5 to 8 miles a day. That help keep me thin until now!

I LOVE bread. I must say it is my favorite thing to eat. I know there are so many different kinds, but most of them, are just delicious. My boyfriend and I were having a debate yesterday whether bread is bad for you or not. Thanks for the information, now I can back up my argument and prove him wrong.

If you read enough, nearly everything has some chemical in it that is not good for you.

I don’t doubt that a perfect diet of completely unprocessed foods is better, but I seriously doubt the accuracy of FOOD SCIENCE. Since it is very hard for a study to be accurate or determine if a particular chemical in a food really has as much effect as a claim says, and if you are concerned, then it is best to stick with stuff that is non-subjectively healthy. This greatly limits your food choices though, so I say just keep it in moderation with the bad stuff anyhow.

Proper scientific studies employ the analysis of analyzing multiple variables at a time, otherwise known as multi-variate analysis to eliminate contamination factors of a study (and most studies do have some contamination factor).

This same study method is extremely difficult with food because of how everyone’s body processes food differently, depending on natural genetic makeup, physical health, age, diet variances, and on and on, etc…

Food is one of the most complicated things to try to study, so don’t assume that just because an article makes a claim on a small amoiunt of a chemical in a food that it is really true.

Not saying it is not true, but our analysis methods of food have a long way to go before being fully accurate.

It has already been shown that different people need different type of diets.

Bread is poison because it contains WHEAT!!! Doesn’t matter what other crap they throw into it. Wheat/grain is what food eats. Only food should eat grains. People need to eat protein, fat, veg, and fruit. Grains, not at all. I once had a vet tell me, “All the carbs a cat needs to eat are contained in the stomach of a mouse.” Carbs are sugar, and human beings can make all the sugar they need from protein, fat, veg, and fruit. Not, of course, if they have a broken pancreas: type I diabetes. Type II diabetes doesn’t exist. That’s just poor diet and lack of exercise. Grains are the problem. And yes, in my thinking vegtetarians are both misguided and nutritionally deficient. Lysine, anyone? Anyone? I didn’t think so.

It’s all about insulin. High blood glucose results in a high insulin response which triggers the body to store fat. It’s an evolutionary response to get us through times when proteins and fats aren’t sufficiently available. So eat bread, a dense carbo source, drive up blood glucose, drive up insulin, store fat. Ditch all breads and pastas. I’ve heard sprouted wheat and grain are ok, but haven’t researched it.
