Most of us have been eating white bread our whole lives. Unfortunately, just because it tastes good, it’s convenient and is a fairly common staple, doesn’t make it healthy. In fact, there are so many preservatives and so much of the natural whole wheat is removed by processing, it is actually more toxic to some people than beneficial.

Just take a look at the stuff bread is made of:

• Partially hydrogenated oils
• Fungal prohibitive chemicals
• Refined flour
• Bleached whiteners
• Chemical softeners
• Carmel coloring
• Calcium sulfate

You see that white bread is made mostly of refined flour and contains few if any nutrients. The fiber is removed along with the fatty acids that are essential to health. During production, when the raw grains are being milled, most of the health benefits of the wheat are lost. These grains are extremely important for good health, but most are lost, and the chemicals that are added, render it all but toxic.

What happens when we eat white bread:

• Our immune systems become weak
• We put ourselves at risk for cancer from the toxins
• Our intestines can become clogged up
• Ingest a sticky protein - gluten
• Clog up our large intestines, leading to mucoid plaque.

White bread contains several substances which are not easily digestible, and lead to a build up of mucoid plaque, a sticky form of mucous which clogs our colons.

After eating white bread for most of our lives, the impact of all that refined flour leads to more plaque which eventually begins to attract and holds onto toxins, fecal material and other impurities.

Some of the downfalls of eating white bread

Malnourishment - When your colon is functioning right, your body doesn’t absorb all the nutrients available to it, causing your body to become malnourished.

Constipation - Without regularity, the wastes from your body remain in your colon unless you consistently have eaten an all raw food diet most of your life, avoiding breads and other toxic foods, you probably need to have a colon cleanse. While changing to a healthy diet helps to maintain a healthy colon, it must first be cleansed in order to rid itself of all the old toxins built up by an unhealthy diet.
