For so many of us (me included), bread is the ultimate comfort food. Few culinary pleasures are quite as enjoyable as a flaky croissant with melted butter… simple buttered toast with eggs in the morning… or fresh garlic bread dipped in a warm tomato sauce.

But in the past few years there have been numerous questions raised as to where bread fits in a healthy diet… On one hand we’ve been told that bread is the very “staff of life.” On the other, we’ve been told that it is a major contributor to potentially fatal diseases and obesity.

So, what is the truth? And importantly, which types of bread (and which types of flour if you are making your own) are the best for health?

Here are the five lies about bread – followed by the link to the full (amazing) tutorial explaining the science behind them (and the alternatives):

Loaf Lie # 1: Whole Grains & Whole Wheat are an Essential Part of a Healthy Diet
Reason: Whole Grains cause massive blood sugar spikes – their glycemic index is one of the highest of all foods!

Loaf Lie # 2: Gluten-Free Bread is Healthier than Bread Made from Wheat
Reason: Glycemic index of typical gluten free foods is often higher than sugar. There is also the issue of high arsenic content.

Loaf Lie # 3: If You Don’t Have a Problem with Gluten, You Don’t Have a Problem with Wheat
Reason: Wheat contains other toxins such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) which can cause problems for people who aren’t gluten intolerant.

Loaf Lie # 4: If Wheat Doesn’t Cause You Digestive Distress, then it’s Safe to Eat
Reason: Research shows that wheat can trigger a variety of autoimmune conditions (where the body attacks itself), including: type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Loaf Lie # 5: There is No Such Thing as a Healthy Loaf of Bread
Reason: It is absolutely possible to make or obtain REAL Bread that is low glycemic and nutritious, without the above problems. You just need the knowledge.
