What have they done to my bread???

I like to eat bread especially white bread because I can make it as a sandwich with different ingredient such as margarine, mayonnaise, ham or egg. This can be my breakfast every morning because it is so convenient, cheap, delicious and fast to prepare. This can even save my time to do other things instead of cooking.

However, I notice that the white bread is actually bad for our health as I left the white bread at  home for two weeks and it is still haven’t go moldy. It really makes me shock!!! Looking at the ingredients on the plastic wrap, I found a whole pile of ingredients that I had no clue what they were. When I browse through the internet, I just realize that the white bread have a lot of chemical ingredients inside it. Oh my god! I really didn’t notice it before.

The whole grain is actually very good to our health, but when whole wheat is milled to white flour, the most nutritious part of the grain will be taken away. During the milling of white flour, over twenty vitamins and minerals present in the original wheat grain are reduced by half or more. Most of the fiber has also been removed from it and it is not healthy. When fiber is not present in bread, it makes it a simple carb which the body treats similar to sugar.

Alloxan, the chemical that makes white flour look "clean" and "beautiful," destroys the beta cells of the pancreas and the beta cells will no longer produce enough insulin. Researchers normally use this to induce the disorder in lab animals. Giving alloxan to an animal is similar to inject that animal with a deadly virus and this will  cause illness easily. Every day, consumers ingest foods made with alloxan-contaminated flour that has potentially fatal link to diabetes because these facts are not well publicized by the food industry.

There is also an extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers on commercial wheat crops such as disulfoton (Di-syston), methyl parathion, chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, diamba and glyphosate. Besides the toxic will accumulate in our bodies and increase our susceptibility to neuro toxic diseases as well as cancer. Many of these pesticides function as xenoestrogens, foreign estrogen that can reap havoc with our hormone balance. They have also been linked to abnormalities and hormone-related cancers including fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer and endometriosis.

I think i better don’t want eat white bread anymore because it won’t hurt me much if i stop consuming  it. If not, i think it will affect my health later on in my life.
