more on the glycemic index

Let's look at the "white lie" if you will over white or wheat bread. Eat a slice and prick your finger for a glucose test and you will see both raise it the same (wonder white has a GI of 80, whole wheat is 77) and they both contain glutin which the majority of the population gets an inflammatory gut response from. It is not a healthy food white or wheat. There is something to be said about sprouted grain breads, the kernel is placed in an environment which promotes growth and now the large amount of white endosperm is converted to a protein to support that growth. So the bread made from this is much healthier. Bottom line is that if it is made from a flour especially wheat it is not a healthy food. The same info applies whether we are talking about a hamburger bun, a tortilla or an english muffin.....
