Ezekial (in the orange wrapper).  Love it.

Says:  The Original - Flourless- Low Glycemic  100% whole grain bread.

'A complete protein is created that closely paralles the protein found in milk and eggs.  In fact, the protein quality is so high, that is 83.4% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. There are 18 amino acids present in this unique bread---from all vegetable sources--naturally balanced in nature.' 

It uses sprouted wheat, sprouted barley, sprouted millet, malted barley, sprouted lentils, sprouted soybeans, sprouted spelt,  and wheat gluten --all organically raised and fresh yeast and sea salt. 

One slice - zero sugar, 3% salt.  You can get unsalted, I don't.

I love it.

I always take a cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter to work with me but yesterday I decided to try a loaf of Food for Life Cinnamon Raisin 7 Sprouted Grains.  I was thinking I'd try Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin Sprouted Whole Grain bread next time and compare.  (Whew -- that's a mouthful, isn't it?)

I'll be auditioning a couple slices tonight!

Many people have selected to decrease the amount of bread they eat.

If this is your choice, what do you eat instead?  If you continue to eat bread,

what types of bread products do you eat?

I enjoy eating toast with peanut butter for breakfast.  On a semi-regular

basis I replace the bread slice with a flavored rice cake.

Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Sourdough bread is my fave.

I prefer to avoid gluten and eat food with real nutrients. I use lettuce for wraps instead of sandwiches with bread. For pb, I use a spoon or dip dark chocolate in it. I also like dipping carrots into things. I might eat it once in awhile while ot, but I haven't brought bread intothe house in years.

I don't think I could cut back on bread.

I love most types.

I do try to limit how much I have each day.  There are some days when I don't have any.

It just depends.

It's exhausting especially bringing my magnifyiying glass in my bag to read all this on the packaging. Shopping takes 3 times as long & I dread it.

I'm not the only fact checker, so why is the population more obese than ever before? Type 2 diabetes more prevalent? Heart attack and stroke, high cholesterol & high blood pressure on the rise as well?

Food with a label? Walk away. It's a processed item.  Health is not 'processed'.

Why is the population more obese than ever before?

It's the "AND".   

Salt....and.

Fat....and.

Sugar...and.

If one would eat these things in singular form, rarely would there be an issue.

It's not the sugar. I could sit down & eat 3T of pure table sugar & the body will process it for energy.  No problems.  But we don't eat sugar like that.  We add the 'AND'.  Sugar AND salt. Sugar AND fat...to make them palatable.   All this is the same for salt.  'Salt is bad for HBP'.  It's r-e-a-l-l-y not the salt but the 'AND'.  Salt AND fat.  Meat/egg products?  Have to 'AND' salt & fat to make them edible.  Cheese?  High levels of salt & sugar to the fat to make them edible. Salt-fat-sugar is HIGHLY addictive. It takes a couple weeks to remove them from your diet, but once your palette is 'clean', just a sprinkle of salt/sugar is desired.  

Fat is definitely is foundation of bad health. If one has health issues, even plant-based fats should be avoided. Fat clogs up our inside workings.  Inflammation, insulin resistance, cholesterol issues....all stems from fat.  I wish we could turn ourselves inside out...and really see what fat does to the body.  Millions & millions of doctors & nutritionist/dietitians would immediately go out of business when seeing what that meat dish or 'healthy fat' product does to our blood stream. Ooof. Not good.

No, it most certainly is the sugar. 200 yrs ago the average person ate about 2lbs of sugar during a year. In 1970 we averaged 123lbs  of sugar a year. We now average 152lbs of sugar a year. Sugar is causing more heart problems than anything else. We should only be getting 10% of our calories from sugar, or 13.3 teaspoons yet we average 42.5 teaspoon of sugar a day. It is in nearly every processed food there is and that is why it is crucial to shop the perimeter of the store. If I want to make rice, I make it from scratch and do not get those prepackaged flavored rice dishes. That goes with everything, I make it myself and skip the processed food. It is killing us. 

No, fats are not the evil that you claim and even necessary for proper brain function and many other things including healthy skin, nails and hair. Of course there are good fats vs bad fats and one who eats a healthy diet with little to no processed foods rarely has to worry about eating too much fat in their diet.

Dave's Killer Bread is f.a.i.r.l.y. clean.

If I have to have that rare piece of toast, I usually go for one of these.

Whole Foods, Sprouts, Central Market...look for it.

@sidsmom  I L  O  V  E  this bread!  I buy the green label.  One piece is 120 calories, but it is a very satisfying bread.  It has a sweetness to it that makes it addictive, for me.

The whole fat is bad is based on false information that was perpetuated by the sugar industry to implicate fat instead of sugar as the source of heath problems. The facts came out quite awhile ago and the old research has been proven false but some people still repeat the old lies anyway.

@jaxs momEvery single cardiologist I have seen since June of last year after my heart attack has told me EXACTLY the same thing. It's a myth that it is the fat and now studies have proved that it is sugar and the inflammation it causes that causes most cardiovascular disease.

@Trinity11  @jaxs mom  From what I have read, cancer loves sugar.  I have relatives who don't eat sugar and try to keep an akaline balance by the food they eat.  The body needs fat, just not an overabundance.

@sidsmom  Ingredients please?

We have Whole Foods here but this brand is not one I've noticed.  Next time I'll check it out. 

I love to read labels.

@PINKdogWOOD

This is one I've purchased..WF might have others, but it's just an example.  HTH!

---

@sidsmom  Does the label say 140 calories per slice?  If so, I wonder why this has more calories than the 21 whole grain and seeds.

[sidsmom]

@mousiegirl

Don't know.  There's only a 20 calorie difference.  They are so similar, it really depends on store availability & taste preference.  Here's a pic of the 21-grain to compare.  21-grain seems to have more unusual/ancient grains like kamut, triticale, amaranth.  HTH.

@sidsmom  The 21 grain is what I buy, it is always here as DH makes toast with it, but since it has more grains and seeds, it has 20 calories less than the other, strange.
