Whole Grain vs. Whole Wheat

A lot of people seem to think that whole wheat bread is healthier than white bread.  Those people are in fact wrong!  Whole wheat uses some wheat in their product but they still use white flour.  White flour has absolutely no use in your body other than to raise your blood sugar.  When you are looking for an option better than white bread, look at the whole grains.  Whole grains are much better for you.  They don't use white flour.  The whole grains are also better for your heart and are higher in fiber.  When something is higher in fiber it will keep your fuller longer and you won't get that drop in blood sugar once the food is digested like you do when you eat white bread.  Start checking things in your pantry other than your breads.  Look at pastas, cereal, etc.  Those things also come in whole grains.  Make the right choice for your health and choose whole grains not whole wheat.
