white bread makes for big bellies

quote: Many Americans are like a loaf of bread -- soft, with one side round. And some researchers believe their choice of bread may be part of the reason.
The scientists say white bread and other refined grains seem to go to the gut and hang out as belly fat.
''Waist circumference was very much associated with this high-refined grains pattern,'' said Katherine Tucker, an associate professor of nutritional epidemiology at Tufts University in Boston. She and her colleagues are studying what happens to the bodies of people who eat lots of refined bread.

In 1905, Ellen White wrote,
"For use in breadmaking, the superfine white flour is not the best. Its use is neither healthful nor economical. Fine-flour bread is lacking in nutritive elements to be found in bread made from the whole wheat. It is a frequent cause of constipation and other unhealthful conditions." {MH 300.3}

Whole wheat bread made at home from your own ground wheat is the BEST! It actually has better flavor too than white bread. My children are teens and they love it still when I make homemade bread.
However, I do remember Mrs. White telling a pregnant woman who was hungry for white rolls to go ahead and eat them and not worry about it. So I suppose the occasional white bread won't hurt us but it should not be very often.
But there are other things that make "big bellies." It seems I recall hearing the term "beer bellie" which meant that the person drank too much beer and therefore had a large bellie.

Would it not be better for us to eat "flat breads" such as pita. These are the forms of bread seen for thousands of years in the Middle East. I have studied and found that the best cultural diets of the world were from the Middle East. Very little refined products, very little sugars... LOTS of fresh fruit and vegies with little meat (best with none).
So, my thought is that our "puffy bread" of North America is probbably not the best for us wether it be white or whole wheat.

I love pita bread Daniel. I can make it myself at home with my own ground whole wheat or blended grains. To me, pita bread is a superior bread!! Try making it with avacado and fresh sprouts with tomato and other "sandwich" materials. It's the KING of all sandwiches.
Also whole wheat communion-type crackers that do not have yeast in them or soda. I believe they use these in the middle east also?
