Apparently Wheat Makes You Fat?

saw something on the news saying 2 slices of wheat bread is like 12 tsp of sugar and is about as artificial as it gets. I strictly eat wheat bread I can’t remember the last time I had white. Anyone hear about this or think it’s bs?

you’re only just hearing about this? Was your rock comfortable?

But seriously. The way they phrased it was a bit dumb, but it has the same effect on the body equivalent to sugar. Have you read the labels on your food recently?

According to this, obesity should be rampant in elite sports and bodybuilding.

In this news report, did they actually say ‘whole wheat bread’ or just ‘wheat bread?’

Because most reporters are lazy and a little bit dense, and can’t be bothered to be specific or differentiate between the two (since, after all, white bread IS wheat bread, i.e., bread made from wheat).

Not obesity necessarily but I am sure there are many who are very overweight because they take bad nutrition advice.

I thought it was the inflammation response to wheat products that caused the weight gain.

X2, specifically, when compared to other sources of starchy carbohydrates that don’t contain gluten or other potentially problematic proteins but have a similar insulin/sugar level response.
