America eats a lot of bread, whether as a cheese or a BLT sandwich, to make PB & J or the Challah. This baked food is definitely a staple food but on the other hand many people see it as a source for digestive problems and start to avoid it with the argument that it makes one fat. The variety of this food doesn’t make it any easier whether this staple food is healthy or not. Some people say that pumpernickel is better, some eat only sourdough buns and others eat just crispbread. You can easily miss the wood for the trees in these arguments clutter about which type is healthy, which one makes you fat and which are the benefits of eating this. Here are the facts about this controversial staple food!
Does it make You Fat and cause Constipation?
Primarily, the carbohydrates in this staple food make you feel full for a long time. Only if you eat too much of it, it makes you fat. Nutritionists recommend usually no more than four to six slices of this food. So, a person who eats plenty of potatoes, pasta or cereals throughout a day shouldn’t eat much of this product.

But the white sort bears its reputation as a grease maker rightly since it saturates you for less time compared to the ones with whole grain due to the low amount of fiber in white flour.
And those who eat lot of white flour products and don’t drink enough water can definitely provoke a jam in the intestine that results in constipation. If a person already suffers only a mild form of celiac disease, this can cause indigestion. People who suffer this food intolerance are sensitive to the gluten in many grains. If this allergy is severe, it has not only constipation as a symptom but also diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia and fatigue.
Does Crispbread make you Slim?
Crispbread contains practically no water, so it is just pure whole grain. Thus, it provides you 300 calories with only 100 grams. The same amount of the rye bread has only 210 calories. But since crispbread is very light, you would need to eat twelve slices to eat 100 grams. And how many people would eat that many slices? Probably not many and there we have the slim effect.

As Darker as Healthier?
If it is dark because of containing flour with little grind and a high proportion of bran and husk, you can say that the darker types are healthier since it contains a lot of minerals and fiber. But most of the sorts are only dark because of added roasted malt to the white flour to get a better taste. This doesn’t help your health at all, so do not buy buns with just a few sunflower or pumpkin seeds on the surface.

While grains in whole wheat products contain many vitamins and minerals, they are at the same time difficult for many people because of causing digestive problems, since fibers cause unpleasant flatulence. You can avoid this negative side effect by consuming bread with only finely ground whole wheat. It is easily digestible and still contains a high proportion of healthy vitamins and minerals.
Do You Love Toppings?
Let’s rethink how you ate your sandwich the last time. Most people eat it with toppings like cheese, mayonnaise, bacon or ham. And exactly these contain a lot of hidden fats. So why not try a sub with vegetables the next time, lean chicken and pesto, which contains healthy olive oil and herbs?

So whether you prefer dark, white, sourdough or crispbread, you will definitely get health benefits of it as long as you eat en masse. All sorts of this staple food contain a lot of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, iron and protein, it doesn’t matter whether it contains whole grain or not.
But in general, you can say that the more whole grain, the healthier.
