I've always bought Arnold 100% whole wheat bread cos I looked at the ingredients and it had no HFCS written on it.. I have it in front of me right now.. and the ingredients say :Whole wheat flour, water, sugar yeast, wheat gluten, Soybean oil, Wheat bran, Salt, monoglycerides, calcium propionate, Datem, calcium sulfate, Soy Flour, Etholyxated MOno and Di glycerides, Soy Lecithin. What do you think about these ingredients? I've also heard that Soy lecithin is not the greatest ingredient to be consuming.. what's your opinion??? Hey there,

It's all the stuff I already knew but need to be reminded of whenever I'm tempted to believe I can "eat only steak and still lose weight" or whatever the latest get skinny quick scheme is. I digress. If you are eating any kind of bread that has any give to it, you are most likely eating some kind of sugar. To get nice and fluffy and springy bread you need yeast and yeast, a living organism of sorts, needs sugar to feed off of to get extra foamy. Sounds kinda gross doesn't it? Anyway, a good bread to get is eziekel bread (at health food stores) or, as some have mentioned, make your own and use honey instead of plain sugar or corn syrup. Best of all, don't eat bread that is leavened. Eat something like the pita bread mentioned in the article (just a little fluffy and springy) or tortillas or that wonderful lentil flour thing (called...?) from India. Thanks for the great article!

I just put together two loaves of whole wheat no-fat bread. It used whole wheat flour, yeast, honey, no-fat yogurt, salt, a bit of baking soda and water. When I'm done there will be a trace amount of fat from the cold-pressed olive oil, no hydrogenated oils, no soybean oils... no HFCS, no sugar... It comes out moist and tasty (guessing the yogurt helps) and a lot better for you than the store-bought stuff! :) Make your own! I just put together two loaves of whole wheat no-fat bread.

The pouchitis we've decided (this time around anyway), is largely due to uncontrolled yeast growth in his intestines. We know sugar feeds the yeast and we know yeast, as an ingredient, would also contribute to the problem. My question is, does he have to avoid bread altogether? If we made our own, could we avoid a bread that breaks down into "sugar" in the end? we've been avoiding HFCS for a long while now but are realizing that's not enough for him. being that he eats a fairly strict diet anyway, he struggles with losing TOO much weight as well. we recognize a super low-carb diet that avoids all breads will only worsen this particular aspect of his situation. Any advice?? thanks. erin i’m interested in making my own bread. my husband has had a number of digestive issues including ulcerative colitis, and now, pouchitis.

I'm trying to eat healthier and bring down my triglycerides and cholesterol... while bringing UP my "good" cholesterol. And I could stand to lose about 15-20 pounds in the process. I've managed to change my diet before to affect my levels, but I've forgotten a lot of what I'd learned. And now I've been re-informed and also newly informed of the fact that I've likely been a HFCS ADDICT. I have always thought I was addicted to carbs - maybe not. Maybe it's always just been the dad-blamed corn syrup! Arrrgggg... Well, get behind thee, HFCS! ;) ~Jen Lots of great into here!
