Is whole wheat bread good for you?
Whole wheat bread is made from whole grains as opposed to refined grains — which is what white bread is made from.
What are the pros and cons of whole wheat bread?
Whole wheat bread contains the aforementioned nutrients that aren’t typically found in white bread. But that often can come with a higher price tag, which can hinder accessibility.
Is whole wheat bread actually healthier?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends making half of your daily grain intake whole grains. While eating more “minimally-processed grains” is a good thing, it’s not necessary 100% of the time. A review of studies published in Advances in Nutrition found that while scientific research does validate recommendations to eat more whole grains, the idea that you need to decrease consumption of refined grains actually isn’t backed by any substantial body of published scientific evidence.
