White bread offers your body very little nutritional value yet it increases your risk of being overweight and depressed. It is preferable to replace white bread with more wholesome wheat bread for your good.
In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some reasons why you need to stop consuming white bread.
1. Raises blood sugar level significantly
Carbohydrate foods like bread with little fiber content tend to be easily digested and the glucose in them is absorbed very quickly which can raise your blood sugar level suddenly. This is dangerous for patients with high blood sugar (diabetes)
2. Increases your risk of type 2 diabetes
Due to the high sugar and low fiber content of white bread, a high amount of sugar is released. This makes the body release excess insulin to push the sugar into the cells. If this continues to occur, the cells become resistant to insulin, and diabetes might set in
