I am talking about the mid grade bread like 12 grain that I buy. The lower shelf is like Wonder Bread that is worthless where you could squeeze the entire loaf down to an inch. As to the mid-grade bread like the 12 grain or the whole wheat or other variants there is some nutritional value but it is also chock full of sugar and salt to disguise substandard ingredients and just to indulge our corrupted palettes.
Perversely most of the top shelf bread that is usually made by local bakeries is almost all white bread from refined grains. Although it may be the case that how the grain is grown leads to higher amounts of pesticides and toxic chemicals not removing the outer part of the grain but I don’t know on that specifically.
Agricultural and food regulations in the US are terrible. What is considered food-safe in the US is considered toxic here.
The only healthy bread is whole wheats. It’s the only bread containing fibers. I just bake my own, with a bread baking machine. That way I can control the amount of sugar (none) and salt in it (bare minimum) and don’t use preservants. Supermarket whole wheats bread here contains a maximum of only 20% whole wheats. Mine 50% (more makes it become a brick).
