White Bread can be Healthy as Brown Bread for Some People: Study

Jerusalem(June 10, 2017): Quite possibly no, a new study found – which suggests that white bread is actually just as healthy (for some people, at least).

The study found that different types of bread can have different effects on the well-being of people – and that these can vary widely.

The new study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, was a comprehensive, randomised trial involving 20 healthy people, comparing differences in how processed white bread and artisanal whole wheat sourdough affect the body.

Researchers monitored the volunteers closely – watching mineral levels, fat levels, and markers for inflammation.

The researchers noticed that the volunteers glycemic responses varied – and about half the people had a better response to the processed, white flour bread, and the other half had a better response to the whole wheat sourdough.

Study co-senior author Professor Eran Segal, of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, said: ‘The initial finding, and this was very much contrary to our expectation, was that there were no clinically significant differences between the effects of these two types of bread on any of the parameters that we measured.
