Experts in the field of nutrition and dietetics warn about the dangers that a certain type of bread can pose to human health.

Which bread is the most harmful

In particular, white bread made from refined flour was recognized as the most harmful.

Why is white bread dangerous

High glycemic index

White bread contributes to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, which can lead to insulin spikes and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Minimum nutrients

Due to intensive processing of flour, almost all vitamins, minerals and fiber are removed from it, making bread an "empty" product.

Risk of obesity

White bread is high in calories and has a low ability to provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety. This can provoke overeating and, as a result, weight gain.

Chemical additives

The production of cheap white bread often uses preservatives, flavor enhancers, and dyes that can have a negative impact on the body.

What kind of bread is healthy

Experts advise replacing white bread with healthier options, such as:

  • Rye bread made from whole wheat flour: contains more fiber and minerals.
  • Whole wheat bread: helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and provides the body with energy for a longer time.
  • Gluten-free bread (for people with gluten intolerance).

Health starts with the right choice of products. White bread, which many people consider an integral part of the diet, can actually be a hidden threat to the body.
