whole wheat bread vs. white bread

[Willi]

Supermarket Whole Wheat

Processed breads found pre-packaged in the supermarket are, with the possible exception of one or two, are WORTHLESS. Go on and eat the wonderbread (it's all air anyway...) because the quality of brands like Roman Meal Whole whaet bread are just as bad. You want bread? Forget the supermarket and either find yourself a good old fashion bakery, or better yet, bake your own.

I never knew what GOOD bread was uintil I moved to Germany.

Go with bread made by "The Baker" or try "Women's Bread". They are both very high in protein and fiber. The baker bread has about 8-10g of fiber per serving and 8-10g of protein. The women's bread has 10 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein per 2 slice serving. Very good. You can get them at any health food store. "Whole Food's Market" is a great place for this stuff. They carry "The Baker" in a lot of supermarkets too.

there's actually a view that white bread is better because whole grain foods contain anti-nutrients (i.e they interfere with absorption of certain minerals). not sure how true this is I just thought I'd bring it up. I definitely know this is true in the case of some foods such as spinach

I just thought I'd point out a snipit that I read in FLEX a few months ago. I think it was in one of Chris Aceto's columns. To paraphrase: bleached flour and white bread are the devil and anathema to bodybuilders or anyone concerned with their health and appearance.
