DON'T EAT WHITE BREAD EVER!

Why such a strong warning?

Here's why:-

Bread, like any other part of our diet, is an acquired taste.
Starting out early helps since children are much more adaptable
to accepting foods than adults.
This does not mean that childrenLIKE as many foods as adults -
children are renowned pickyeaters.
But if you only expose them to healthy, whole grain foodsthey won't have the opportunity to develop a taste for whitebread or other non-nutritious foods.
Adults, however, must learn to change their diet preferences because of knowledge.

Understanding why whole wheat is superior to white bread can help you feel good about the compromise and encourage you to make it the standard for your children.
Who knows - you may even like it!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The two biggest differences between white bread and whole wheat are the processing and the nutritional value.
Flour is made from wheat berries. The wheat berry is made up of the bran, the germ and the endosperm. All parts are filled with nutrients and are used in whole wheat flour.
White bread on the other hand, uses only the endosperm - the starchy inner layer.
There is a total of 30 nutrients missing in white bread.
The nutritional difference is immense and has a measurable impact on our health.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SWITCHING?
The fiber content of whole wheat bread has several health benefits.
Fiber helps the digestive system.
It also creates a 'full' sensation and thus can help with weight control.

Research has been conducted at Harvard University and other organizations that shows men and women who eat high-fiber foods have less heart attacks and strokes than those who don't. There is also an increased risk of diabetes in children who eat refined white flour - a risk you need to consider.
