Bread products should only contain flour, salt and yeast as far as I'm concerned. This reminds me of something Tim and I noticed last time we were in the U.S. - American bread is so SWEET. What is that? I just looked at Oroweat's 100% Whole Wheat Bread <a href="http://www.oroweat.com/nutrition/whole_wheat.gif" rel="nofollow">ingredients</a>: the third one from the top is high fructose corn syrup. Each slice has 4g of sugar - is this necessary? Yeah, multi-grain is just a euphamism for “mostly white”. Bread products should only contain flour, salt and yeast as far as I’m concerned.

It's better policy to take a look through the ingredient list (which is just a good policy in general), and try to stick to breads that only have healthy and complete ingredients (more than 3 syllables? can't pronounce it? forget it!). Ah, the trickery in our food labeling system... I’ve noticed whenever a package says “multi-grain” or “whole wheat”, it probably just contains SOME of those ingredients, along with the enriched junk.

Alot of breads in the supermarket will claim to be wheat bread, but will really be mostly white bread with added food coloring. You gotta be careful to look at the ingredients and what you buy. Whole grain is the magic word. Great article on bread. Alot of breads in the supermarket will claim to be wheat bread, but will really be mostly white bread with added food coloring.
