why is wheat bread better than white bread? wheat bread is healthier?
My mom recently stopped buying our usual bread and has picked up some wheat breads to try out. I think they taste totally different but not bad. I asked her why we are changing to this new bread and she told me that wheat bread is healthier than white bread. I, of course, asked her how it is healthier and she didn't really know but told me that I should find out. I looked around but I think the explanations might be a little too confusing because I can't really grasp WHY the bread is considered a healthier choice. Could someone PLEASE explain this to me?

the answers below me are all correct, but to make it really simple, white bread has a lot of sugar in it.

The first answer is correct, but let me add....white bread is processed food. Wheat bread goes through much less processing. So it has more of the natural ingredients that we eat bread for. It is healthier. Foods closer to their natural state are always healthier than processed foods. For example fresh strawberries are healthier than strawberry jam. Get in the habit of reading food labels. if you can't pronounce the ingredients, then you shouldn't eat it. That is a good rule to follow.
Hope this helps.

White bread and wheat bread are sortah the same, when you look at their ingridients. HOWEVER, wheat bread is much more healthyer for the reason that it contains many more vitamines then white, it's also hiegher in fiber which is good for you. So you can make stinkys often (lol), how is it that it has more then white you ask? Well although both breads are made from wheat berries, white only uses one of three parts of the wheat berries. The endosperm. As to wheat that uses all three parts, The bran, The germ and The endosperm. White doesn't use this since they use white flour. So eventhough white is enriched it still loses fatty acids, fiber and all that good stuff when the flour is refined. So yeah, point is Wheat totaly PWNS White when you're speaking of healthy choices. ;D
