Anyone else not eat white bread?

I used to many a year ago, but now i just dont see the point of it. It feels, tastes and looks like cardboard and just pumped full of preservatives. Seems like fake food to me.

Anyone else?

But standard brown, wholemeal loaves are full of preservatives as well.

You can, if you shop around, get white bread without preservatives, especially in winter time.

I used to be a big white bread fan, then discovered Granary!

Trust me, it's the way forward!

Just bought a Poilane loaf, £3's worth of traditional 18th century-style French rye bread. Chewy and sour tasting.

Never eaten white bread in over 40 years, never will again even if it was the last food on earth. The damage it does to the digestive system is frightening.

Me too. Totally agree.

The trouble is that it has been normalised and the general population think that it is 'normal bread' when what they have done to the wheat is about as from normal as you can get.

Probably haven't eaten white bread for over 20 years now. Vile stuff.

Delicious too. I like that sour flavour, far prefer sourdough bread to conventional styles, and I think it's more digestible. But you can't beat mass-produced white sliced bread for making toast.

I rarely eat bread these days, white or brown.
Since I've stopped eating it on a regular basis, I feel less tired.

It seems that this basic staple is not so good for you -

Eat vegetables rather than bread, the research suggests
People who eat a lot of bread are at greater risk of kidney cancer, Italian research has suggested.”

Have not eaten white bread for over 30 years. Anyway, I now make my own bread with the aid of a breadmaker and I know what is in my bread - wholemeal and seeds for the main part.

And it is delicious.

The research, published in the International Journal of Cancer, found patients who ate more bread had a higher risk of kidney cancer.

It said there was a modest rise in the risk with pasta and rice, but a reduction among patients who ate more poultry, processed meat, and vegetables, whether raw or cooked.


But what does "more bread" and "more poultry, processed meat, and vegetables... " actually mean? I eat "more bread" on some days than others. I eat "more vegetables" than some people because I'm a vegetarian. What, scientifically, is "more bread"?

Interesting question Inkblot.
I don't know the answer, all I know is my husband eats far more bread than I ever did.
When we were first married I found it strange that he would eat bread with a cooked meal.
We never did that when I was growing up. It was doubling the carbs I suppose in my eyes.
He will often have toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and bread with dinner.
To me, that's a lot.

My mum always put a plate of bread on the dinner table when I was a child. My nan lived with us - I think it was something to do with filling yourself up during the War - rationing etc.

I eat a fair bit of bread - probably 3 slices a day. Brown / Wholemeal only as I don't like the taste of white

Eating virtually anything these days is associated with cancer, wouldn't stop me eating something.

99% of the time I buy wholemeal bread but or a rare occasion I'll buy a Scottish plain loaf and some real butter, I'll toast the two outsiders, cut the two crusts off and butter it as soon as it's out of the toaster so the butter melts... absolutely delish.

Couldn't agree with you more, freaking gorgeous with all them different types of seeds in.

I rarely eat white bread, but if I'm having a strong desire for carbs - particularly after a heavy night out - I'll buy an uncut loaf and make lots of toast.

I used to love buying a Fench stick on a Saturday, and curling up on the sofa in front of the TV with lots of stick and cheese and pickle.

If I eat bread it has to be white as I ahve IBS and have to eat a low fibre diet.

I'd much rather eat granary bread though. I've been eating white pitta bread and like that but I'm not sure how good it is for you

I like all types of bread except that plain bland wholemeal stuff. I love granary though.

I love trashy white sliced with chicken soup, possibly only bettered by fresh baguette.

I don't eat white bread but eat granary rolls rather than bread.

I'll eat it if it's there but I don't buy it.

Warburtons white or wholemeal is the best for us. It's always soft, makes good toast and lasts longer.
