More like the "worst thing since sliced bread"

Personally I think it should be "The best thing since bread bowls", but I don't make the rules.

Aren't you part of the DBDK? I refuse to answer that question, no matter how blatantly flawed this topic is.

But we can properly categorize now. (I'm going to call it white bread because fuck you)
White sliced bread
Artisan sliced bread
Artisan unsliced bread
White unsliced bread.

No idea if that last option exists. Hell, I wonder how much unsliced wonderbread costs.

I don't eat that much bread, and I only buy food for myself. I need to get bread that's either preserved, or freeze it, otherwise it's a huge waste. I wish they made smaller loaves for us lonely single people

I like this thread. I never make sandwiches with that garbage. I'm not a health nut or anything, I just find the typical pre-packaged slice bread loaves to be so...so bland and tasteless. Horrible.

Anyways, nice thoughts, nice thread, nice bread. Zing.

White bread isn't responsible for obesity. White bread actually contains three less calories per slice than whole wheat bread. Whole wheat bread should be banned for having three more calories per slice than white bread.

White bread may very well explain why Americans are, on average, stronger than everyone else in the world. Along with the Europeans. It may also explain why we pack bigger dicks than everyone else, as well.

White bread power!

Haha you must be joking.

I never said anything about whole wheat, but if it has more calories, it's no doubt from the much higher amounts of essential fatty acids and fiber. White bread, even if it's enriched, still doesn't have as much vitamins, minerals, and protein. But how is 3 extra calories even significant? That's about as much calories as a tic tac.

In a Harvard study of 75,000 nurses, those who ate at least three servings a day of whole grains cut their heart attack risk by 35 percent and were less likely to get into weight or bowel trouble. By contrast, those who ate more processed foods—such as white bread, white rice and sodas—were more than twice as likely to develop diabetes.

Eating white grains is another reason why so many americans have heart disease and diabetes, alongside the obesity.

Denton and Carrey carried this thread well. I'm not a nutrition guru either, it's nice hearing both sides while learning and not having a pissing contest.

Although, we're on page two now. That's usually a bad sign.

So that's who you are.
Aludin? Wish I knew. He is rarely ever mentioned around here. Once in Blunder's comics and a rarely in totse memory threads.

I don't think NOT consuming something can make you fat. As for whether or not white bread is responsible for heart disease, I highly doubt it. You have to remember that a slice of whole wheat bread is just that: a piece of fucking bread. It's not like it's really infused with all sorts of God-like materials that promote good health.

I believe the basis of it might be - you're depriving yourself of essential nutrients by eating grains which are deficient in them, in place of ones that are rich in them. Fiber is supposed to be good for the heart and bowels, and white grains don't have significant fiber. That along with the shitload of preservatives put into some white grains, which can't be good for you.

[Struwwelpeter]

Apparently one slice of white bread has 0.8g while whole wheat has 2.6, which is 11% of RDA. This pretty much re-iterates the fact that you cannot reasonably expect to satisfy what the government says is the "recommended daily allowance" for any given vitamin by consuming just about any food product, "healthy" or not. Everyone is always saying how you should eat more vegetables to get more nutrients, but vegetables are wholly lacking in nutrients themselves. You would need to eat a truck load of them (to the point of death) in order to satisfy what the government says is the RDA. No matter how hard you try to throw variance in to the mix. Whole wheat bread is the same thing. You would need to eat 10 slices a day to get 100% RDA of fiber, assuming all of your fiber intake were to come from whole wheat bread. That's like nearly 1000 calories just to meet the requirements of one "essential" material.

Basically all of this vitamin shit needs to be supplied via pillz. Lots and lots of pillz.

[Struwwelpeter]

It's worth noting that if everyone satisfied the RDA for vitamins and nutrients the Communist nutritionists would just jack the RDA up by 500% and demand that the government spend even more money shoving shitty ass plastic engineered vegetables down the minorities' throats.

In the UK you can get preservative-free Polish bread, half-wheat half-rye, for about 90p a loaf. It's fucking delicious and only about 40p more than the cheapest bread available.

When the ends go hard, then you can dunk them in very sweet milky coffee (this is what the Italians call 'pane caffelatte'). The bread has to be rock hard, though, otherwise it just goes soggy. This is why pane caffelatte from cafés is crap - they just use toasted fresh bread.

I agree with Jim that unpasteurised milk is fine. It's about ten times more delicious, too. In the UK it's relatively hard to get compared to the continent; legally it can't be re-sold so the farmer has to sell it direct to the public (farmers that intend to sell unpasteurised milk often have their own farm shops, sell at farmers' markets, or sell online). Stupidly, you can buy cheese made from unpasteurised milk in any shop in the UK, but not the milk itself.

Also, in Europe, eggs generally aren't refrigerated. There seems to be an increasing trend to do so in the UK, but it's unnecessary; kept in a cool cupboard, eggs keep for about two weeks - in the fridge they keep for three. Maybe if you buy eggs in bulk then there's a need to refrigerate them.

Is there a negative effect if you refrigerate them?

Agreed, but it's not as if bread is that healthy in the first place. Sure it's got some good stuff, but you can get that elsewhere, as much as I love bread, it's really got a lot of empty carbs in it. Shit for losing weight if you so wish.

[ratfrink]

Motherfuck. I wrote a long response but my internet crapped out.

Anyway. Some people say that refrigeration makes eggs less tasty; I haven't noticed a difference. Fresh eggs certainly taste better than old ones, and if your eggs are refrigerated in the shop, they probably aren't fresh. I get mine from the market (not because I'm a dick, but because it's closer and cheaper than the supermarket) and they're really tasty.

Some recipes work better with room-temperature eggs (hollandaise sauce, for example). Others work better with cold eggs (if you want crispy pastry, you have to keep it cold while working it - cold eggs will help).

The compounds in some foods are destroyed by cooling - keeping tomatoes, onions, garlic, leeks, peppers and plums (and probably lots more things) affects their flavour and texture. Apples, though, seem to taste better and have a crisper texture when cold (either from the fridge, or from the tree on a frosty spring morning).

Bread goes mouldy faster in the fridge, because fridges are damp. Keep your bread in a bread-bin or a cool, dry cupboard and it'll go stale way before it goes mouldy. Stale bread is still edible (fried, dipped in coffee, made into croutons) so I'd rather it went stale than mouldy.

Oh yeah I am going to take all my health advice from an alcoholic addicted to benzos who tries to use antidepressants as a recreational drug and enjoys unprotected sex.

I eat at least a couple of loaves of wholemeal bread a week, eat 3 square meals a day and lose just under 1kg a week (and seeing as I am no longer obese, that is pretty decent going).
