Marketing ploy: Some wheat bread might be just white bread with brown coloring

[JEDI]

if you thought u were eating more healthy, you might not be.

and it's not illegal calling it wheat bread because white bread comes from wheat.

The trick is in the fiber content. Whole wheat bread has more fiber than white

Shens. next you'll be telling us chocolate milk doesn't come from brown cows.

I rate my bread with my poops. I can tell you my wheat bread is definitely not fake white bread. I have hearty poops only possible thanks to genuine wheat bread.

Browning can also occur simply by the Maillard Reaction.

walmart has those. they have white bread, wheat bread and whole wheat bread

I only buy seeded rye unless I get a specialty bread for some reason.

If it doesn't have grains then it's usually just malted white bread, with the exception of the more expensive brands.

Another marketing ploy - brown eggs aren't healthier for you, they just come from brown chickens.

It is common for organic and free-range eggs to be brown because of that misconception, but they could just as easily be white. Being brown doesn't mean they're organic, free-range, or anything else that's special or different (except brown).

Duh. As said, look at the nutrition label. I actually shop by the fiber content ahead of anything else. If it's got 3-4 grams per slice it goes in the cart. Less than three per slice and it goes back on the shelf.

I like brown eggs because they're visually appealing. White's bland.

What about greenish/blue eggs?

Color of the egg is derived from the minerals the chicken takes in, not what color the chicken is. Certain breeds are more predisposed to having a given color of egg, but there is no set rule.

They probably add in some sawdust to boost the fiber.

Yes, and multi-grain bread may be just simply white bread made from the least nutritious parts of various grains.

You want WHOLE grain bread. Or even better: whole grain bread made from multiple whole grains.

Or you could just get your fiber from vegatables and screw bread.

Well they also come from yellow, black, and many other colors of chickens. I do get your point though. Mostly, it is a sign that someone is raising something other than leghorns, which are by far the best egg producers.

Ever hear of a peanut butter and jelly bagel?

No. You haven't because sandwiches let you pile up the PB&J goodness without it squishing through the hole in the middle.

Actually I do eat PB&J bagels(toasted) for breakfast. :\

One trick to know is to look at the list of ingredients. The first ingredient should be Whole Wheat Flour, preferably unbleached, if it's truly wheat bread. If it says anything other than whole wheat flour as the first ingredient, it isn't true "wheat bread."

 

[darkswordsman17]

So, I looked up the bread I usually get: http://www.mrsbairds.com/products/honey7Grain.html

It says Whole Grain, but I don't know if its actually all that healthy (tastes good and has good texture for sandwiches), so I was looking in the ingredients. The last thing listed is Azodicarbonamide and I was kinda WTF is that, so Googled it. Hmm:

In Singapore, the use of azodicarbonamide can result in up to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of $450,000.

I used to get: https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/...zXUGByeatog%3D=&ddkey=http:ProductDisplay

Its good, but the slices are too wide for typical cheese slizes, and just feels weird for handling sandwiches (guess I could just cut it in half).

Unless it's whole wheat, don't bother.

 

[Geocentricity]

whole wheat isn't the same as whole grain.

It seems some of you have already been fooled...
