White Bread
The Awful Truth
Can
white bread cause bodily damage and end lives prematurely? Here
are some facts about white bread, and you be the judge.
The
Swiss government has been aware of the dangers of eating white
bread for decades and in order to get its populace to stop eating it,
Switzerland has placed a tax on the purchase of white bread. The tax
money is given to bakers to reduce the price of whole wheat bread to
encourage people to switch.
The
Canadian government passed a law prohibiting the "enrichment" of
white bread with synthetic vitamins. Bread must contain the original
vitamins found in the grain, not imitations.
White
bread is "dead" bread. Nobody is telling us the truth about this
and so called "enriched" flour.
Why is the
color of white bread so white
when the flour taken from wheat is not?
It's
because the flour used to make white bread is chemically
bleached, just like you bleach your clothes. So when you are eating
white bread, you are also eating residual chemical bleach.
Flour
mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty
bad. Here are a few of them: oxide of nitrogen, chlorine, chloride,
nitrosyl and benzoyl peroxide mixed with various chemical salts.
One
bleaching agent, chloride oxide, combined with whatever proteins
are still left in the flour, produces alloxan. Alloxon is a poison and
has been used to produce diabetes in laboratory animals. Chlorine
oxide destroys the vital wheat germ oil. It will also shorten the
flour's shelf life.
Good
Nutrition: You Won't Find It In White Bread!
In the
process of making flour white, half of the good unsaturated
fatty acids, that are high in food value, are lost in the milling
process alone, and virtually all the vitamin E is lost with the
removal of wheat germ and bran. As a result, the remaining flour in
the white bread you buy, contains only poor quality proteins and
fattening starch.
But
that is not the whole story as to the loss of nutrients. About 50%
of all calcium, 70% of phosphorus, 80% iron, 98% magnesium, 75%
manganese, 50% potassium, and 65% of copper is destroyed. If that is
not bad enough, about 80% thiamin, 60% of riboflavin, 75% of niacin,
50% of pantothenic acid, and about 50% of Pyridoxine is also lost.
These
horrific numbers are the results of a study run by the
University of California, College of Agriculture.
It is obvious, from what we have learned, that white bread should be
avoided like the plague. Whole wheat, rye, and grain breads made with
whole wheat flour is a better way to go. Let alone adults, feeding
white bread to children aught to be a crime!
I have
tried shopping for bread in supermarkets and have given up
after reading the labels, walking away in disgust. I now buy my bread
in a health food store. It was either that or give up eating bread
altogether.
For a
more healthful way of life, always read the labels and never buy
foods that contain artificial flavors, colors, bleached flour,
preservatives, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
Remember, it is not only how long you live, it's how healthy you live.
All the
best health to you!
