Take for instance bread, wheat bread is meant to be better for the body but which one to select?? There are a number of different  brands, colors and prices in the bread aisle.

So many choices and yet which one are you to choose?? There are some things you do not want to find when reading the ingredients of the product Some of these include

• main ingredient of bread being enriched bleached flour
• high fructose corn syrup as one of the top 4 ingredients listed

In addition the terms "whole wheat", "whole grain" and "whole grain white" don't mean anything So buying whole grain or whole wheat to us helps us feel like we are doing something good but taking a look at the label some barely meet the minimum. Don't simply buy the 100% whole grain labeled bread as the bread could be made up of bleached white flour. However, breads that carry the label 100% whole wheat is the one to go for.
