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.

I don't think that's always true, although of course I don't know what
goes on your side of the Atlantic. Here, if a bread calls itself
"multigrain", then it is just that. And almost all our "brown" bread is
wholemeal, as we call it - "Bread wi' nowt taken out", as one brand
advertises itself.

The sensible thing to do is to read the ingredients printed on the
packaging, and only buy those that "do exactly what it says on the tin",
to quote another advertisement popular over here.
