rye bread > wheat bread?

[anthrax]

are you talking about Pumpernickel?

Yep !
but there are also other rye bread with low GI

How do you know if it's 'real'?? By getting it at an organic store?? Sorry if that's a dumb quesion...just confused...

1] First look at the label
you shouldn't see any sugar/HFCS/white flour/conservatives and other chemicals
the more processed the higher the GI

2]in a "good" bread there should not be any yeast but Levain (aka leavening or natural leavan)

3] in organic store breads are usually less processed, use natural leavan instead of chemical yeast

I saw an article or maybe I heard something on the news about how rye bread is better than wheat in that it causes less of an insulin spike...


can anyone here confirm or deny this?

Lower GI, more fiber and healthier grain - much better.
