This video is inaccurate and completely wrong....... 1. He makes a broad and erroneous generalization of what bread or bagels are. Not all breads are enriched, not all breads have added sugar, some breads have eggs added which make the amino acid complete in providing additional lysine and methionine. 2. He says our bodie does not recognize that bread is healthier than candy. This is completely wrong. "By the time we digest it, it's all the same, it's all sugar". By ignoring that grains contain soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, B vitamins, manganese, potassium, antioxidants, vitamin E, and man xanthophylls; he has reduced bread and candy to only their carbohydrate content. While starches once digested are sugars, there are many different kinds of sugars and they all do not have the same physiologic impact on the body. Candy is 50/50 glucose and fructose because it is almost entirely refined cane sugar. Bread is almost entirely glucose from starch. Biochemically fructose leads to a increased VLDL production than glucose and disproportionately increases the risk for heart disease. It also has been shown to increase leptin resistance. I could go on and on about how inaccurate this video is. Do everyone on the internet a favor, and remove this steaming pile of inaccurate nutritional bull shit. You are a performing a disservice to the human race.
even all those benefits added it still is processed as sugar in the end...enriched flour just go in faster because of the GI index....eating less bread and processed foods and sticking to whole foods like veggies fruits and meat with naturally added vitamins and minerals is the best bet for your body
I think you've got it wrong to say that 'breads' contain alot of fiber and minerals.....Do yourself a favor and check the nutritional value of 'refined white flour' including white rice....You'll be shocked as I was to see the VOID of minerals compared to whole grains and whole foods. My body loves to eat Japati and bread, and it makes me feel full for sure....but sad to say that besides giving me alot of 'Glucose potential' it doesn't contain the much needed vitamins and minerals. Vitamins, minerals and fats are crucial for the proper breakdown of carbohydrates.....
If someone could give me an argument why naturals things are better for the body than processed I would be very pleased. I don't want the typical absurd arguments like: Because its less processed or because its natural or because you evolved with it. There are natural things that can totally destroy your body in hours, there are processed things that can too. I just want a good argument, one that I can believe.
Glad to see someone smart once in a while. I rolled my eyes at "if it's in a box, it's not food." I thought they were heading in the right direction when they said that food is an ingredient because everything we eat pretty much boils down to their components, which are often always the same. Therefore, it is a matter of what percentages of these components are in our meals.
+Gabriel Concha Why would processing make food better.. its not like processing food adds vitamins and minerals to it.. If the question is about artificial vs natural foods that is a differenent issues
+Explosive Monkey Strength سليمان you aren't giving any reasons for why this is, you're just saying it. How am I supposed to believe you if you can't even provide a good reason?
@babababaaab I will have to disagree here. The food you evolved with has also begun an evolutionary arms race to not be your food, this is the reason so many animals have venom or some foods are spicy. We humans through artificial selection have selected for the most benign traits and that's why our foods are more nutritious today than they were in the prehistoric era, were evidence regarding things like bone density show that the foods they were eating were not optimal.
@babababaaab All you say its true. I accept that, and I will also accept that evidence shows hunter gatherers higher logevity than peasants. Now what has also been proven is that they don't have higher longevity and higher bone density as modern humans. Saying an argument is stupid is not the best counter argument, but I wasn't even trying to argue for processed food, I am just saying that something is "natural" doesn´t necessarily make it better. Would you at least agree that some "natural" things can kill you?
Skittles are the same as bread? Geez. Of course, the carbs in both are the "same" in terms of sugar, but you can't compare, first, the amount of sugar per serving in both of them, and also, bread has aminoacids, minerals, (some of them have vitamins) and FIBER. Things candy will never provide. You can live a life without eating bread, but don't do it for the wrong reasons.
+Dani Ferreira The dude J. Stanton straight up says skittle white bread and even whole grain bread all have about the same glycemic index, your absorbing the sugar in the bread just as fast you are in the skittles. as he shows a guy dying after eating a bagel with cream cheese 1:23
I gave up bread, pasta/noodles, and rice altogether and ignored the whole grain multigrain high fiber brown hoopla and it has made a colossal difference in my weight loss and to a point, muscle gain, and furthermore, I feel fuller!
Here, in France, the only bread with a low glycemic index (34) that I know of, is Montignac Integral bread made with sourdough instead of yeast. Real bread is hard to find but it's worth it. Also, butter with bread can lower its glycemic index. Sprouted grains bread is good too (35)
I'm a diabetic, so I know a lot about sugar, and bread takes longer to go into the blood stream than candy. Also, fruit takes about as long to get into the bloodstream as bread does, at least bananas and oranges.
I love no bullshit xxx yeah, I’ve noticed that. I walk by the bakery section and this is just the regular bread realm, not the cakes and pies and cookies and it smells sweet! Either way, I gave up bread and carbs altogether and my weight loss has skyrocketed and I’ve gained a little bit of muscle easier as well even.
Actually, everything we eat that can in any way be used as energy is converted into sugar in our bloodstream. It's the only way the cells can receive energy. Doesn't matter which ailment you ingest. I'm sure whole grain is better for you but calling bread processed food is a bit extreme.
This is false. Fat nor protein are not a sugar. For the liver to turn dietary meat into sugar (glucose), it needs to go through a process called gluconeogenesis and that is a indirect way too. Also, fructose stays mostly in the liver. It offers absolutely no energy to the rest of the body like glucose does. It is similar to alcohol and why such people get a fatty liver because the liver can't transport it as a energy to the rest of the body. White bread is a processed food. It is stripped away fiber. If you want to lose weight, packing your diet with fiber is a sure way to lose weight plus the short-chain amino acids that your microbiota produce which improves the overall health of the person.
Bread is just processed food. Full of bleached flour, additives, etc. when they’re done with bread, it isn’t bread anymore. That’s what they do to increase shelf life and slow down production. They kill us.
This is the fault of American bread, not bread in general. You guys put so much sugar in your bread it's legally considered cake is most of my Europe. I agree that bread isn't the healthiest food. But it isn't death. The problem is that most of the research is being done in America on American products with way to many sugars. So when Europeans look for resources for dieting and such they get missinformed.
ATTENTION PLEASE!!!Here in lithuania we bake black bread (no its not burnt) its made out of a dough of wheat and for flavor different kinds of seeds. Now the dough is left for a while (this is the traditional way) and when you add more dough you mold it into a bread form. Shoot it in a furnace and baked! You have to leave some dough like on a bottom of a bucket then you add more dough. This bread is 100% natural and safe to eat. It is very healthy and tasty :) you can easily make some at your home. It can be used with sandwiches (not the one that has a loaf of bread from the bottom and on top, its just weird) and eaten with meat and can be eaten with lets say a dinner. You should check it out. Type "lietuviska duona" in google and go translate. Find a recipe or visit Lithuania. Thank you very much for your attention :)
Bread is good for you as long as it's whole grain or whole wheat. Read the ingredients. I eat my bread with eggs. bread sugar content is usually 1 gram. Have you seen the sugar content in skittles? I lost about 40 pounds from staying away from candy and I still lost weight after eating wheat bread lol. so pls.
Kairu Breeth - I have your story only in reverse... I quit all breads but continued with candy and icecream. In 6 months I had lost 50lbs. One thing I noticed is that I burned thru the obvious sugar(s) much faster than I did the bread, which tended to back me up for days (using BEET JUICE "color" to track full intestinal passage).
honestly I grew up eating peanut butter and jelly on white bread and that's how is always eaten them and that's how it always is going to be I love PB&J sandwiches and I am never going to stop eating them
As long as you manage your intake of calories and keep a balanced diet, that's a perfectly fine choice. PB&J is delicious, nutritious, and affordable :)
This might be a silly question but: If I make my own bread, does it have the same effect as buying bread from the store? I don't put sugar in my bread and I understand the "eat in moderation" aspect of the argument. But since I know the ingredients going into my bread does it have the same effect? Thanks
I can't wrap my head around the idea of this, considering how I've been eating bread my entire life and have not gotten into any health-problems involving the fluffy thing we learned to love.
This is a pathetic video because it ignores the distinction between glucose and fructose. Bread is glucose, which is fairly benign. Skittles are sweetened with sucrose (50% glucose, 50% fructose) and corn syrup (45% glucose, 55% fructose) and fructose is bad for you in high volumes. Plus, Skittles have hydrogenated oil, modified corn starch, natural flavors (MSG), and a shitload of fake colors and preservatives.
So, what kind of bread should I eat? I mean, hot ham and rolls has been a Sunday tradition in my family for as long as we can remember. Is it better if I bake my own bread?
White bread is a processed food with low-quality carbs. Plus, it can contain added sugar. So, eating white bread can cause large blood sugar spikes, which aren't good for your health.
'Absorption' and the speed of it is one thing, but the body's ability to maintain healthy blood levels of sugar is another right? I mean, carbohydrates that contains fiber and minerals actually ADDS value to your gestational system whereas white sugar or refined flour has no fiber and virtually no blood stabilizing minerals or vitamins..... Correct?
The question was, which one would I rather eat if I had to choose - bread or sugar? The answer would be sugar, for a few reasons. Starch in bread breaks down into glucose, which spikes your insulin, whereas sugar contains fructose, which prevents that spike. If you look at that glycemic index, it's actually not at the top. Also bread contains other ingredients such as soy oil/lecithin, high fructose corn syrup, gluten, and other questionable ingredients.
Your bread is made from grains right? All carbohydrates are polymers of sugar. Unless your bread is made of tree bark, it gets digested (broken down) into sugar then absorbed.
he's on about how fast it digests,white flour has a slightly lower glycemic index than sugar (sugar being 100, white flour being 71 which is still very high) you've also got to consider the fact that, nutrient wise, bread is pretty bereft
Well a lot of food in stores is bad for you but to be healthy for you from my experience and we can live fine on green plant foods while maintaining a healthy gut with bacteria and minerals balanced with electrolytes and water. Wheat grass is superfood loaded to keep you healthy and anti aging with over 50 health benefits on its own Does bread to that?
WTF?!!! America is so weird... Sugar in bread? WHY?! Why would you put sugar in bread... here in East Europe we have some problems with producers that use too much salt sometimes, but sugar?!!
***** I don't know... I live in a country where we eat bread at every meal... in fact bread is so crucial that even if you have food, but you don't have bread, you can't eat... because how the flying chicken can you eat soup or anything without bread? The only think we eat without it are cookies, fruits and polenta (which is like the second bread of my peoples). Yet despise all this bread, the average woman here is thin like a model, and guys aren't fat either.... we didn't had big problems with obesity in fact, until fastfoods, junkfood and shaorma started to emerge on the market in the last 2 decades... and still obesity is not such an issue here.
Wheat bread has the same amount of sugar as the white bread because overtime with high demand america has gotten away with being able to categorize wheat bread as wheat bread even if it has only minimal grains in it. To sum it up wheat bread is only white bread with food coloring. (This only applies to store brand wheat breads for the most part)
"If the bacteria won't eat it, then maybe we shouldn't either?" is a bad way of putting perspective because we digest food with a large aid from certain bacteria like microorganisms too...
But that depends on what kind of bread you are eating, l mean we all know that white bread is not good for you but there are bread kinds that only contains the proteins and no suger and other aditives. I mean it isent wrong to eat things that contains a lot of ingredient but it should only contain the kind of energi you want and need and no other aditives.
I've read that meat is bad,(rots in our digestive systems) too much fat is bad (heart disease, etc), too much fruit is bad(I've had diets where they only allow one serving), and now bread is bad. So we're supposed to eat vegetables, all day, everyday. I don't see how that would be plausible in my life; I'd have to have time to cook for every meal, or eat bare salads 3x a day. I'm a high-school student who doesn't buy the groceries. I guess I'll have to deal with the toxic bread then.
+NVaizard Home made (buy bread maker!) bread, made of whole grain spelt or kamut, organic yeast and himalayan salt, occasionally can be white also, for a little treat, if you want! Enjoy!
You can try almond flour or coconut flour - both a better alternative. We need to start thinking about foods that our bodies recognize as food/fuel. Many 'food' we eat today isn't even processed by our bodies the way it should be. Leading to increases in disease, cancers and allergies. It's why we have seen a significant increase in our country.
Bread do not need contain added sugar to be sweet for us humans. All grains contain starch which already in your mouth will start to be converted into long chains of glucose. Unsweetened bread does not taste sweet, but for your body, it's like eating Dextrosol. Etatin the clean content of grains is not natural for us humans.
Maybe they are right about the sugar part....but whole bread does other benefit over white bread....mainly that it provides fibre which is very essential for the body.
I don’t agree at all and don’t think white bread is nearly as unhealthy as everyone says, but hey either way I don’t eat white bread. It’s either 9 grain or sweet dark for me whenever I make toast or a sandwich. White is bland
However, there are a number of studies that already suggest that wheat is toxic to humans. I recommend a book called Wheat Belly. It's been very enlightening. I don't believe in spouting statements without backing them up, so I leave you with the tools (ie the book) to do your own research. :3 I hope you get a chance to read it someday.
Are you making fun of me? Huh, my 'people' are the best. People in countries are living off us and you are making fun of my species. Bread is really high in the food chain so please don't talk about us
Wow, I knew white bread was bad but ALL types of bread?! Well that's me done with bread now, never really liked the stuff anyway. At least it's not like cigarettes of which your addicted to it but the question now is, what I'm I supposed to make a sandwich with now that I can't have bread?
Go ahead and have your sandwich. But make sure you use a bread high in fibre, of which white bread isn't. Also, restrict the amount consumed to the least amount needed to make that sandwich, and limit it to certain times of the day when one is likely to be more active. If you learn to make your own using a variety of healthier flour, and maybe blended with a limited amount of white flour, you can control the salt levels in that bread, which is a bit more of a concern than glycemic index alone. Too much salt prevents the body from metabolising sugars, which could be a contributing factor to the sensational notion that "bread is bad."
Make your own Indian flat bread using whole meal wheat flour , a pinch of salt and water. Make it into dough and roll it out into discs and bake it on a cast iron hot plate. We Punjabis have been eating this kind of bread since before the year dot.
+Brian Bouman In a nutshell there are two types of carbohydrates: Complex Carbs and Simple Carbs. Simple Carbs are directly sugar (such as the sugars found in candy, cake, or ice cream) in which they do not need to be broken down further to convert into energy. Complex Carbs are those found in whole wheat, fruits, and other foods in which they are required to first be broken down into sugar then into energy. Those types of carbohydrates must be converted into sugar before turning into energy in order for the body to use it.
+Rocío Suárez Galán There is no sugar in bread. This is just a metaphor. Bread is mostly of carbohydrates. Sugar is a carbohydrate (usually sucrose). Bread contains starch which is a polysaccharide (also a carbohydrate). Your body breaks down sugar to glucose and then uses it to produce energy. The same thing happens to starch. It breaks down to glucose too. The trick is not to eat too much bread or too much sweets. All this stuff about processed food and boxed food is bullshit. The second half of the video is just an advertisement. He speaks about bread, but suddenly he generalizes about all processed foods, which is absurd.
+DobromirMG The processed food part is misleading. There is a documentary called inGREEDients where a nurse tries to understand processed food. The end of the film is not him saying to stay away from ALL processed food but to be very selective of them. The ingredient list shouldn't be the length of your arm or too many of the ingredients are stuff you can't pronounce or find in your own kitchen.
