White bread has a higher glycemic index than whole wheat bread, meaning it has a higher rate of raising blood sugar. Therefore, rapid rise in blood sugar causes diabetes over time. The fact that the fiber ratio of white bread is lower than that of whole wheat bread causes no feeling of satiety. Therefore, consuming white bread negatively affects appetite control.
White and whole grain bread in the same weights are about the same calorie, but white bread makes you gain weight because of the different rates of raising blood sugar and fiber. In addition, because white flour is easy to process, it has made the consumption of pastries such as cakes, cookies, pies and cakes widespread. Excessive consumption of these products causes weight gain and diabetes. The incidence of diabetes in the world is 15%, and it ranks 10th among the global causes of death.
We can prevent the complications of diabetes by eating a healthy diet.
States are now required to develop policies to promote the use of whole grain bread and to increase the consumption of healthy bread by the people.
