Introduction

Bread Choices

Compare the two bread labels below.  The first label has enriched flour which is wheat flour.  This is a white flour product for the most part because the enriched wheat flour is the first ingredient.  The whole wheat flour in the bread is the second ingredient and since ingredients are listed with the greatest ingredient amount first, it is predominately a white flour product.  he second bread is a better choice for good health because it has more fiber and less preservatives.
