What is the best kind of bread to eat?

Breads that are best are anything that is predominantly whole grain. But you have to read labels; you can't just go by color or even the description on the label. Whole is the key word in the first few ingredients in the list of ingredients. The list of ingredients should have whole wheat, whole oat, whole barley, whole rye, etc. and/or have added germ or bran. Also, look for breads that have at least 3 g of fiber (or more) per slice. Most of these are going to be a denser, heavier, more substantial bread than the fluffy stuff we are used to.

Wheat just means it is made from the grain, wheat. White bread is wheat bread. Even some of the "grainy" looking breads or brown breads are simply white bread with brown sugar or molasses added for color and maybe a sprinkling of seeds added for looks. As an example, "Roman Meal" says whole grain goodness on the label, but if you look at the list of ingredients and the fiber content, it is pretty dismal.

As far as the yeast issue, most people do fine with yeast in their diets. There are some, however, especially women, who have a hard time dealing with yeast. For the vast majority of people, yeast is not an issue. The glycemic index is an issue for a small number of people as well. Most people handle changes in blood sugar just fine. For most healthy individuals, whole grains should comprise the foundation of the diet, making up 50% or more of their calories. In the United States, our diet tends to be high in protein and fat and low in grains.
