Thanks for mentioning this. I just checked my "grain" bread and you are
absolutly right. They used Brown Sugar instead of molasses but it has the
same results.

i personally think one should balance everything in a diet-- cutting
out carbs as a whole is a bad idea, and even limiting them to a very
low level is probably not the best idea for the body. it is a good
idea, however, to cut out certain carbs completely that are made
with enriched flour, and basically any empty, starchy carb. look for
*multigrain* pastas, breads, etc. and eat fruit and drink lowfat
milk. if you cut out carbs from almost your entire diet, you have a
high chance of gaining the weight back if you reintroduce them at
some point-- at least i've seen it happen to people. it would have
to be a lifetime commitment and carefully administered.


Sarandipidy, while I agree with much of what you wrote, most so called
"multigrain" breads on the market are not much better than
wonderbread. They have a few unmilled grains added and colored with
molasses.

The real whole wheat bread made from pure whole wheat flour, tastes
rather "different" from most breads and is probably not as easy to
sell to consumers. So they make fake healthy sounding imitations,
inventing brands like "health valley" etc.
