I can't fathom how Americans can be addicted to the uniform crap Americans refer to as bread..


This is bread:

/edit

thx. haven't seen that for a while

I eat "good" breads too, but they're still loaded with sodium more often than not.

Bavarian rye breads are a great low sodium option.

Bread will kill you. Bread causes cancer. Bread makes you fat. Bread is full of gluten. Gluten is bad for you.

 

[Skiptastic]

You know why we eat so much bread? Because it's fucking delicious.

Exactly. They can take my bread from my COLD DEAD HANDS.

 

[gdt]

I just eat 100% whole grain bread for sandwiches. Yum..................my. Usually have one sandwich a day, sometimes 2.

I'm keeping my extra 20. Don't give a shit.

Maybe I'll just make my own.

 

[TheMan]

interestingly, food stamps in KY can't be used to buy white bread, only darker bread (whole grain, etc). So that's a good start, i guess.

 

[RevDM]

Just checked my Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread only has 115mg per slice. I wonder if "breads" is referring to hamburger buns from fast food joints.

Next they'll tell us America doesn't have anything good of the other product made from grains and yeast: beer.

Now that's a stereotype that's actually true. American Beer sucks ass.

Now that's a stereotype that's actually true. American Beer sucks ass.

It's only true if you are completely ignorant.

American beer is among the best beer in the world.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Now that's a stereotype that's actually true. American Beer sucks ass.

I was waiting for it, just so I could say this...

American craft beer is the best beer in the world.

try some schlafly oatmeal stout and get back to me

 

[Something Wicked]

The carbs in bread are worse than the sodium. Some canned soups, on the other hand, ... ...yikes.

 

[Chuck (Old)]

American macrobrews suck, I'll give you that. Our microbrews, on the other hand, are world class.

Thanks for the info, I'll let the CDC know so they can update their data right away.

 

[Trojita]

Is Sodium even bad for you?

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Just read the nutritional label and you can see that sodium is pretty much in anything. Especially cans.

 

[Phonomezer]

People should just stop eating bread altogether.

 

[RevDM]

Is Sodium even bad for you?

Sodium itself is not toxic. What sodium does is cause you to retain body water, and you can't excrete sodium as fast as you intake it (ie. positive sodium balance). Increased body water means increased fluid in your vascular system, meaning higher blood pressure. The disease sequelae of hypertension are numerous.

Speak for yourself. Yay generalizations!

 

[Wilsongt]

Too much is, but your body needs at least some of it.

 

[Steelrain]

Sounds feasible.

 

[SapientWolf]

Is Sodium even bad for you?

It is for some people. For others sodium intake doesn't seem to matter much.

Maybe I'll just make my own.

Everyone should try this. Fresh bread is unbeatable.

we do have bakerys that make fresh bread, which is awsome and is so much better then the one that is made in a factory.

I don't understand Chipotle GAF.

Chipotle burritos and condiments especially the guacamole are full of salt.

Oh my! I'm Canadian and even still, 'dem's fightin' words. Some of the best beers I've ever had have come from the USA.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I love bread and other doughey stuff :/

 

[Grinchy]

ewww french people eat bread that's just sitting out all day for people to touch and for flies to spit all over?

 

[Seanspeed]

You're right, but its extremely difficult.

 

[triplestation]

I make my own bread. And it usually gets a teaspoon of salt for an entire loaf.

I didn't know store bought bread had so much sodium wtf.

 

[Petit Melon]

I have a gluten allergy, so those pictures are making me cry. But I thought another study recently said sodium intake doesn't matter? I thought inflammation and controlling it is the new bad guy in heart problems, not the fat/sodium stuff. (Maybe I read too many LCHF books because that is my diet because of my allergy and my perception is skewed)

 

[ronito]

Bread?
No.

I will not sacrifice my bread. We've made too many compromises already; too many sacrifices. They said "burgers are bad!" and I stopped eating them. They said, "Doughnuts are terrible" and I stopped eating them. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!

 

[JoeBoy101]

Well, given my current low carb eating, bread is not allowed. So kinda stumbled out of the problem so it seems.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I loved bread once, and then I educated myself. I can't believe I grew up thinking it was more on the 'healthy' side of things. Oh well, live and learn.

With that said, what exactly is "too much salt"? I doubt that's true for most people.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I thought inflammation and controlling it is the new bad guy in heart problems, not the fat/sodium stuff.

Any suggestions for inflammation control? Links would be appreciated.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

So the lesson here is that we should all be eating more chips.

Just saw this movie last week and I burst out laughing when I saw this. The way he says it is perfect.

On topic: I still don't know if salt is good or bad for you. Too many conflicting reports.

Huh, been a long time since I played that. I forgot how good it looked.

Inflammation (loosely used) is one of the main causes of atherosclerosis which leads to heart attacks and other cardiovascular complications. Damage to the lining of the blood vessel (aorta, for example) allows LDL fat particles to enter. These fat particles become oxidized and are dangerous. Your body responds to this by sending in immune cells to eat up the oxidized, dangerous fat particles. Unfortunately the oxidized fat ends up hanging out inside the immune cells and eventually the entire area is "scarred" over (fibrin) trapping the immune cells and oxidized fat. This is called Atherosclerosis.

But as you can see, it's not so much the inflammation that needs to be controlled, it's the damage to the vessel lining and entrance/oxidation of the LDL fat particles. Controlling these parameters are far more effective in reducing incidences of heart problems.

A teaspoon of salt is a lot of sodium, that's approx 2.3g

I however don't think that large amounts of sodium in the diet is necessarily bad. The studies linking it to hypertension were poorly done

[Dude Abides]

And here I just had a salt sandwich on white for lunch.

 

[acheron_xl]

They can take our bread but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!

Seriously though, nobody better take my bread. What would I make grilled cheeses and PB&Js out of?

 

[ffdgh]

....Can't live without mah garlic bread and cheese toast.

I don't have time to slice my own bread for sandwiches. Also, anytime I try to slice bread like that, it's either hard as a rock or collapses under pressure.

They don't say "it's the best thing since gourmet bread" for a reason.

I like bread too.
