Most all-purpose flour and bread flour is "enriched". Short of grinding your own grain (Kitchenaid has an attachment for this!), it can't be avoided, even with whole wheat flour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-50843493214144494132011-01-19T02:31:27.918-06:002011-01-19T02:31:27.918-06:00So I'm guessing Pepsi isn't very popular, ...So I'm guessing Pepsi isn't very popular, or would it be a Coke-Pepsi? lol<br /><br />I was under the impression that part of the problem with white bread was that the flour is bleached of all nutrition.<br />I guess though that all the commercially produced whole wheat breads aren't that good for a person either, with all the preservatives & crap in them.cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-78996988756233192132011-01-18T15:34:30.072-06:002011-01-18T15:34:30.072-06:00Steph, you aren't missing out. You REALLY don...Steph, you aren't missing out. You REALLY don't want sheet rock for lunch! I do plan on expanding to other breads and I do make a killer whole wheat and honey bread. It's not that I don't eat other breads. I'm just saying if you're eating properly, there's no reason you CAN'T have white bread if you're making it yourself. White bread is truly only bad because of the junk and chemicals that go in it. Or, if you're not eating enough fruits and veggies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-49823165015302352922011-01-18T11:10:05.318-06:002011-01-18T11:10:05.318-06:00Yoga is something I have been wanting to try - thi...Yoga is something I have been wanting to try - thinking it might help my back. I just am waiting for my settlement to start it up.<br /><br />I agree with the white the bread - if you are getting everything else that you need from your regular diet, and you don't like whole wheat then there is no reason to choose it over white bread. I am happy you are making your own bread again. I store mine in the fridge and that seems to extends its life a little bit enough to get me to the weekend anyway. I LOVE baking bread on Sundays - makes the whole house smell wonderful.<br /><br />You could experiment with bread in ways I can't. I would be willing to bet you could make some killer bread with oat, sorghum, or buckwheat combined with regular wheat. You could have the best of both worlds. OH and potato bread (which doesn't work out that well gluten free) I totally miss that.<br /><br />Kudos on giving up pop - i don't drink it anymore either. In fact it hasn't occurred to me to give it a try and see if I notice a difference in taste. Might have to do that - I haven't had a pop since July. <br /><br />Just had to bring up Taco Bell huh? Now that's all I want for lunch.... but i can't eat there anymore. The only fast food place where i can eat are - Mustard Seed Noodles Express has ONE gluten free rice bowl I have, supposedly I can eat Wendy's chili and baked potato - but tried that fall and got sick, and there is a taco truck down the street from where I work that makes street tacos using little corn tortillas......and that's about it. So needless to say I don't "eat out" hardly ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029307154132762913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-5072379900827897682011-01-18T10:51:36.722-06:002011-01-18T10:51:36.722-06:00CDN- (and I'm so used to chatting on FB now I ...CDN- (and I'm so used to chatting on FB now I almost used your real name!) There isn't a particular reason TO eat white bread. I just don't find a particular reason NOT to. It's not the only type of bread we eat though. Let me break my logic down for you:<br /><br />-Americans lack fiber in their diet. Instead of eating more fruits and vegetables, Americans fill up on processed, pre-packaged crap. This has gotten so bad that now we have yogurt with fiber in it and even more added, dietary fiber in our cereal. More and more things are becoming enriched with fiber.<br /><br />-Yes, whole grain bread has vitamins in it that you can't get from white bread. But still, most of the argument here in the US is over fiber. AND, if you're eating a proper, balanced diet consisting of mostly plant matter, you're getting those same vitamins elsewhere.<br /><br />-My white bread doesn't have any chemicals or preservatives. It goes stale in 2 days. It only has 6 ingredients in it. Water, butter (not margarine- but that's a different blog entirely), flour, sugar (minimal, 1 TBSP for the yeast, actually), salt and yeast. I can pronounce everything that goes into my bread. I can readily identify it too.<br /><br />I grew up calling carbonated beverages "pop" too. Then my (ex)husband went into the Marine Corps and they called it "soda". It was easier to go with the flow and speak Jar-Head Jargon. Here in the South, everything is called "Coke". Waitresses will ask if you want a "Coke-Coke, a Diet Coke-Coke, a Sprite-Coke, a Cherry Coke-Coke, etc".<br /><br />AK- It has left enough that I was able to fill the trough today. That's a huge improvement.<br /><br />Also, I used to drink diet soda like water. After having pneumonia a few years ago, I couldn't stand the taste any more. Then soda became a "treat" or a "when we're eating out" thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-87308812427197478902011-01-17T22:12:31.772-06:002011-01-17T22:12:31.772-06:00I love soda, or as we call it here - pop.

I do try to limit how much I drink though.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear the results of your yoga and for the reasoning behind the white bread.cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240886379671385009.post-6390489404259387542011-01-17T13:52:12.782-06:002011-01-17T13:52:12.782-06:00Good for you on the no soda thing.
