  1. i'm eating artisan bread 7 grain. this seems to be the only healthy
    bread in most large food stores. what is olive oil and is it any good.
    what would i eat it with? what form does it come in? is cod liver oil

    Sprouted seed and grain breads from health food stores (look in
    freezer).
    Whole grain unleavened breads such as pita bread.
    Whole grain sour dough breads.
    Whole grain yeast leavened breads.

    Look in your yellow pages for a European bakery; German, French,
    Hungarian etc.
    Call East Indian or Lebanese food shops or bakeries for pita.
    Ask at the local health food stores for sprouted breads and maybe all
    the others mentioned.

    And if all else fails buy the highest percentage whole grain bread you
    can find at your supermarket or bakery. How to tell? It will be heavy.
    If it's not, it's likely only about 40-60 per cent whole grain, and
    coloured too.

    I agree with that. The only way you can get better bread than that is
    to bake fresh sprouted grain bread yourself daily, which will be even
    more nutritious than those store bought breads.

    Thank you for the good answer. However, my research says that enriched
    white bread is fine. you do lose fibre but that is not a big deal.

    Your "research" sucks big time.

    And you lose more than "just fibre". You lose all nutritional value.
    By that I mean all vitamins. By "enriching" it with a couple of cheap
    vitamins doesn't do much to reverse the fact that it is nutritionally
    bereft.

    Once the bread is made bereft of vitamins, the body needs to get
    vitamins to metabolize the bread(refined carbs). Where do you think it
    gets it from? It gets it from you bodies existing vitamin stores and
    thus depletes you of these vitamins. White "enriched" bread thus
    becomes a negative nutritient. Meaning it depletes you more than it
    nourishes you.

    Grains are an incomplete source of vitamins in the first place. And to
    refine it further and remove mpst vitamins from it is to create a
    negative nutrient. You may want to work on your research skills.

    to bake fresh sprouted grain bread yourself daily, which will be even
    more nutritious than those store bought breads.

    The best bread is that which is baked from the absolute freshest whole
    grain. And it will still be bereft of vitamins A, C and B12. It will
    be low in most other B vitamins and the proteins provided will not
    even be close to being complete.

    i have a funny feeling you are basing this on your intuition or
    something. i will always defer to real scientists and they say white
    bread is fine as long as you are getting fibre from other sources. i
    have eaten at mcdonald's 3 times a day for 20 yrs and i am only
    slightly overweight. i do no exercise. lighten up and enjoy life.

    Yes the fibre is a big deal. Your body needs fibre to 'eliminate'
    regularly. Whole grains are a credible source of B vitamins (sorry TC
    we disagree) and since we seldom eat bread alone when combined with
    other nutritious foods it's even a good source of protein and other
    nutrients. If you bake it yourself you can add some butter, olive oil
    and whole milk to the dough which will help complete protein. Some
    bread machines could handle the first stage of rising and then you
    rise and shape to bake free form in your oven. I'd be very surprised
    if after a slab of such bread smeared with cultured unsalted organic
    butter and a slice of organic old cheddar from the local farmers
    market you would ever go back to Wonder Bread.

    i hate finding fibre in my bread . it is like finding a hair in my
    food.
    oh henry bars are probably one of the most nutritious foods around if
    not for political correctness. i always carry tons of them in my car
    as dessert. I hate mcdonald's deserts. the one thing i hate is my
    puffy face. i'm taking up jogging.

    Go have a look and tell me how much vitamin A, C and B12 whole grains
    contain. Then look how much vitamins in general grains contain, then
    compare it to refined white flour.

    Then go to mcdonalds web site and have a look at the ingredients and
    tell me what foods they sell that do not have added sugars like high
    fructise corn syrup.

    I gauarantee you that I do more researching and reading in a day than
    you do in a week.
