Is eating bread healthy or unhealthy?

Different kinds of bread

1. First of all I will give you a list with different types of bread. We can immediately mention that a number of species fall into the unhealthy category. I probably don't even need to explain this.

1. Different kinds of bread

1. These are just the most famous types of bread. There are dozens of other types, but these are mainly variations on the above breads. To get a clear overview of what is and what is not healthy I will briefly discuss the above types one by one.

1. By definition, white bread is not immediately unhealthy, contrary to what most people think. However, white bread does not contain nearly as many good foods as, for example, brown bread. Normally we should get around 40 dietary fiber per day. If we only want to achieve this with white bread, we will have to consume about one whole loaf a day! This seems a bit exaggerated.

1. Milk bread is the same as white bread, but eggs and milk are added to the dough instead of water. This bread therefore contains more proteins than normal white bread. It contains extra calcium and iron from the addition of milk and eggs, but it remains a very "lean" bread nutritionally.

1. Is this directly better than white bread? No, we cannot say this. In addition, some people have a lactose intolerance and it is certainly not an option for them.

1. Rye bread does not really fall under the category of bread, because it contains completely different ingredients than normal bread.

1. Rye bread is baked at a much lower baking temperature than, for example, brown bread. This makes this bread a lot healthier. Carcinogenic substances such as acrylamide can be formed at higher temperatures.

1. Wholemeal Bread

2. Wholemeal bread

1. Wholemeal bread contains a lot of dietary fiber, this is because during the baking process wholemeal flour is used instead of normal "low fiber" flour. Whole grain bread has a good effect on the intestinal function due to the many fibers and has the additional property that it can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

1. Multigrain bread

1. The name says it all. Multigrain bread is made from different types of grains. So it may be that it contains more different nutrients than, say, wholemeal bread where only wholemeal flour is used.

1. How healthy and which nutrients multigrain bread contains is therefore completely dependent on which grains are used.

1. Sourdough bread

1. Sourdough bread appears to be healthier than whole grain bread because it contains fewer phytates from whole grain bread. These phytates ensure a reduced absorption of minerals in the body. Because sourdough is used instead of yeast, it also has a longer shelf life without preservatives.

1. The nutritional values ​​of sourdough bread don't lie: per 100 grams of sourdough bread you get 200 calories, 6 grams of protein, 35 grams of carbohydrates and only 2 grams of fat.

1. In addition, there are also a lot of fibers!

1. It is almost impossible to say whether bread (and the different types of bread) is healthy or unhealthy. It has a lot to do with the person in question. I myself notice that I cannot eat too much white bread, I notice this quite quickly from my intestinal function.

1. People with gluten intolerance, for example, should eat gluten-free bread. If you are allergic to milk / lactose, milk bread is not for you.

1. I cannot tell you which type of bread is the most healthy now. I can, however, give you a number of tips that you can pay attention to.
