Deciphering Healthy Bread Choices
When choosing bread, prioritize those labeled as whole grain, but be cautious as some brands may deceive consumers with misleading claims. Phrases like 'granary' are meaningless, and 'malted loaf' typically indicates added sugars rather than health benefits. It's crucial to examine the carbohydrate to fiber ratio, with a healthy loaf ideally between 4-5 to 1; some supermarket breads can reach ratios as high as 20 to 1. Additionally, breads that are marketed as fresh from in-store bakeries often lack proper labeling and may be pre-frozen or pre-cooked, leading to concerns about their freshness and ingredients. This indicates a need for vigilance and informed choices when selecting bread products.
