York Man,
I agree about the quality of bread in the UK and the bread that is often sold as wholemeal in other parts as well.I do find far more problems choosing and dosing for bread in the UK than the bread I buy here in France (luckily there is far more choice than the ubiquitous baguette!)
Jim Mann makes this point very strongly in a lecture about carbohydrate quality in diabetes diets given to the EASD conference. He authored the most recent EASD dietary guidelines. He was pointing out that carbohydrate quality was crucial and the original evidence base came from diets using high fibre carbohydrates. He suggested that this not interpreted (missed) by some national diabetic guidelines
He makes the point that the loaf on the top left is a true heavy whole grain bread (ie this is the better option) The one on the bottom left is what is often sold as healthy whole grain but in his opinion is just as bad as the one on the right.
