Im from Scandinavia.
Dark bread eater. Source?
Besides, i think that Italians and French have general healthier eating habbits.
Or perhaps because the weather is better.
But dark bread is way healthier than white bread.

Wikipedia. Look up calories consumed by country. Compare with obesity rate by country. Then compare with how much white bread people eat (or just go on a vacation - in Italy, I have NEVER even seen any dark bread).

But then again, white bread was always seen as the superior bread until WW2, where the Nazis introduced dark bread as the healthier option.

I love whitebread, and bread in general, and wheat in general.

But whitebread has a glycemic index equal to sugar, so I try and stick to wheat bread when possible.

White bread 79

Nope.

what if I told you you are a meme

You guys are literally retarded.

Besides, rice is the mastergrainrace. You all are probably getting cucked by quinoa while you're out arguing whether white or black bread is better.

So it is?

>>36603665
No.

And what is your logic? The Nazis were interested in the betterment of society so if they recommended something as drastic as a switch to dark bread, they must have been sure that there was a clear, significant benefit of eating it.

Good intentions don't make you infallible. Also, the Nazis mainly pushed for dark bread because it meant not having to import wheat.

Fair point. Thanks for clarifying. Why's it bad, from a scientific perspective?

Not easily digestable. Flour gets refined for a reason, there are lots of anti- nutrients in grains because the plant doesn't want to get eaten. Refining the flour gets rid of those.

But don't worry: These days, dark bread is usually just cheap colored white bread. anyway.
