Day 65
For years we’ve been receiving Consumer Reports Magazine and it’s chock full of great reporting. My husband always points out the food articles to me and yesterday he pointed out an article about bread in the October issue that just arrived. I dove in to see how they ranked the breads, whole grains, fiber, sodium, and of course sugar content. Once again, the names are deceiving. Would you believe that 100% Whole Wheat Wonder Bread has 0g sugar, while Dave’s Killer Bread Organic 21 Whole Grains and Seeds has 5g sugar? And guess what I have in my refrigerator? Fooled again because I looked at the front of the package, quickly grabbed it from the shelf, and didn’t look at the nutrition fact label or ingredient label. I bought Dave’s Killer when my son was coming home from college to have on hand for the grilled panini’s he likes to make.
Here’s a list of CR’s best and worst in terms of added sugar. We’ve talked about the Food For Life Ezekiel bread before, and those contain no sugar – yeah!
No Added Sugar
Food For Life Organic Flourless Sprouted Grain Ezekiel 4:9
Food For Life Organic Flourless 7 Sprouted Grains
Wonder 100% Whole Wheat
Nature’s Own Life 100% Whole Grain Sugar Free
That’s it. Four breads of the 56 breads evaluated.
Breads above 2 g of added sugar included:
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Whole Grains 100% Whole Wheat
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Whole Grains Oatnut
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Organic 22 Grains & Seeds
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Honey Wheat
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Oatmeal
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain 100% Whole Wheat
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Homestyle Oat
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain 15 Grain
Franz San Juan Island Nine Grain
Milton’s Original Multi-Grain
Dave’s Killer Bread Organic Good Seed
Dave’s Killer Bread Organic 21 Whole Grains and Seeds
So, if you are eating whole grain bread, maybe go for the Ezekiel. They were rated the top one and two across the board in terms of nutrition. They taste good too.
