29 March 2013-Bread has a very symbolic place in our society. We all earn our bread and butter. We ‘break bread’ in appreciation of God’s grace. And even without the mythical references, bread forms the staple diet for a majority of people around the world. However, eating too much bread can be unhealthy.
We cannot say that bread is totally unhealthy. But if you eat bread as daily meal, it will do you more harm than good. It will shock many people know that something as basic as bread can be unhealthy. But you surely know that bread contains an excess of carbohydrates and no other nutrients. We talk about whole wheat bread and multigrain bread. After all, whole cereal bread is just a little less unhealthy compared to white bread that has refined carbohydrates.
Besides, bread has only carbohydrates and no other nutrients. Bread is also unhealthy because it spikes your blood sugar levels. Moreover it also has high amounts of bad cholesterol. One of the lesser know health problems associated with bread is that, it causes acidity. And this stands true even for brown bread.
