    I remember eating white bread all the time few years back. It was not until I found out white flour products were hindering my weight loss goals, I slowly changed my taste buds to like whole grain products. At the beginning, it took a little while for me to get used to but, I just kept on reminding myself that white breads and products were not going to give me abs. The more I got into being healthy, the more I discovered how bad white foods are. 

   White flour products are stripped of all things nutritional so that it can be "white". It is then "enriched" with synthetic B vitamins that are more toxic to humans than natural sources. It is also stripped of all fiber that is essential to make your "regular" throughout the day. Lack of fiber can lead to weight gain, hemorrhoids & other intestinal problems. In addition, people who eat lots of white breads and other products run a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, cancers, heart diseases & many other chronic illnesses. 

   

   Prevention is the best way to live out your lives and after finding all this out, I'm more than happy to make my own breads and substitute white flour with whole grains. I know that I am giving my family the best nutrition I can offer. Next on my list is to make my own  whole grain pasta!
