Is it just me or is buying a loaf of bread getting really complicated? I have to admit, I grew up eating boring old brown bread, but the moment I moved out I made the switch to white. I tricked myself into believing that the nutrient content was the same and it was just the big bad food companies trying to confuse us…well it looks like my parents were right all along – don’t you just hate that!

The Low Down on the Glycemic Index

You’re going to be mad at me – in previous posts I’ve recommended you decrease your sugar and salt intake (by the way thank you for doing that), asked you to eat more fruit and vegetables and then I went ahead and ruined bacon for you…wow, sounds like good times. Well, I’m throwing the glycemic index at you now only because COBS Bread made me.
