Surely there must be some healthy bread out there that does not contain those unhealthy additives etc; that we can enjoy.
 
yes it is that bad.

The white pap sold as bread in supermarkets, made with the Chorleywood process is vile.

I buy fresh real bread, generally sourdough rye from a baker who takes his time. More expensive, but when I only eat one slice a day that's not so much of an issue.

Currently working through the superb rye bread the wife brought back from Sweden, much better.
 
Probably some, but I cant eat them any way, I do miss a little bit of bread, but I have made my own and I enjoyed it.

RRB :) :hungry:

What kind of Swedish rye bread? Has it got a name?
 
I've been eating a Rye bread called Healthguard, it has added sunflower seeds and is really nice, I think most supermarket breads contain additives to prevent the bread from going mouldy too quickly.
 
Hi. It's not the additives that are the problem; it's the basic constituent in standard bread i.e. highly refined flour. All carbs are an issue for us but some more than others.

I can take 1 slice of bread. white, brown, wholemeal, rye. All the same to me really. 2 slices has a big effect on my BG. As said above it is the bread itself not the adatives
 
Try making your own with whole meal flour, pinch of salt, water, tablespoon of yeast. That's all you need to make tasty low sugar healthy bread. You can even add crushed nuts to add flavour. That's all I eat.

Would make no difference mate. I made my own bread for 20 years. it is the bread its self (wheat ) which raises my BG.
 
Having recently experienced un-ignorable evidence that I'm intolerant of wheat. And spelt.

I am certain that 'our bread is really that bad' for me.

And cake
And pastry
And pasta
And cous cous
And thickened sauces
