Five reasons to stop white bread

Five reasons to stop white bread

Bread, "fruit of the earth and the work of human hands," is the staple food of our civilization. But it is time to stop eating white bread. Here's why:

Too hybridized

What can not be considered a healthy food for anyone. Even organic, complete, modern wheat is highly hybridized. He too high in glutamine, a protein that tends to irritate the intestinal wall, and contains much less minerals and vitamins that a hundred years ago.

This is very unfortunate because what was proper food, and it is now used in countless meals and food, especially as a thickener.

Too low in fiber, vitamins and minerals

In white bread, the best part of the meal was removed to be given to pigs and other livestock. Whole wheat is not good for health, but at least it contains fiber, vitamins, minerals. To make white bread, however, the germ and wheat bran are removed.

Remains only produces virtually no fiber, vitamins or minerals almost, which is basically only starch. They are pure calories without essential nutrients. The cardboard box of your cereal contains about as much of micronutrients as grains themselves, if not more.

Do not be fooled by labels indicating that the grain was "enriched" with vitamins. Why cereals are often "enriched" is precisely that scientists found in 1945 how they were poor in nutrients. Therefore, manufacturers rajoutent 3 or 4 vitamins, and some iron. But that's like someone stole 10,000 euros on your bank account, then you decide to "enrich" giving you 2 euros.

Too salty

The modern white bread is too salty. It contains on average 19 g of salt per kg of bread. A wand (250 g) contains 4.7 g of salt is almost the maximum daily amount recommended by the WHO (5 g / day / person). A report by the AFSSA (French Agency for Food Safety), published in 2002, placed the bread (and rusks) at the top of salt vectors foods in the daily diet (25-29 pages).

No added salt production, salt-free bread still contains 0.2 to 2.2 g of sodium chloride per kg.

Too sweet

White bread is no longer a slow sugar, but rather a quick sugar, with a high glycemic index, which causes high insulin discharge and reactive hypoglycemia.

The glycemic index indicates the effect of food on blood sugar (glucose level in the blood) during the two hours of ingestion.

The glycemic index of 100 (maximum) corresponds to pure glucose and white bread... Which is, as we have seen, as starch, starch is only a chain of glucose molecules.

This means that eating white bread is worse than bite sugar cubes: it makes skyrocket blood sugar, which terrifies the pancreas causes a spike insulin, with a risk, ultimately, developing insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases.

Gluten too

Modern wheat, from hybridization were selected for their high gluten. Gluten is a protein mixture. Over there gluten in the flour, plus the bread rises, is elastic, soft. The bread looks more beautiful, more swollen, and therefore sells better.

The problem is that the digestive system of a large number of people cannot stand amounts of gluten present in the modern breed. Gluten intolerance is a source of fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastro-esophageal reflux, joint problems, eczema and even neurological disorders.

When will revolt?

The philosopher Guy Debord was surprised that bakeries have been replaced by an imitation of bread without this causing a new revolution:

In the period immediately preceding the Revolution of 1789, we remember how many routes were unleashed as a result of tampering attempts while moderate bread. (...) When we saw there was almost ten years, bread disappear in France, almost everywhere replaced by a pseudo-bread (not bread flour, baking powder, electric ovens), not only this traumatic event hasn't raised any protest movement and defense as it is recently produced a in favor of the so-called free schools, but literally no body talked about it.

Conclusion

Eat sardines, green salad, boiled eggs, bread without the ham very well.

It even feels surprisingly light and energetic after a meal without bread, when we did not use to.
