Talk:White bread

message: "Blood sugar and insulin regulation provided by whole grains may prevent Type 2 diabetes." is not well supported by its citation.  The standard for health claims is higher because there's so much disinformation out there already. Mbac 19:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diabetes? 

message: As long as it has existed, white bread has been condemned by dietary reformers as essentially devoid of nutritive value beyond the calories that it provides. No. This is not true. Siegfried Giedion, Mechanization takes Command detailed the industrialization of white bread, starting in 19th century France. Haven't seen my old copy in decades... --Wetman 06:35, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Condemnation of white bread 

message: Isn't wide bread more popular than wheat bread? Especially when marketed towards young children, they like the taste of it better. Plus the fact that it's easier to digest makes it more suitable for a first food for children to eat. Therefore making it aimed more towards children than wheat bread. I beleive I've even heard of brands like Wonderbread going as far as adding the vitamins and nutrients of wheat bread to white bread. -Acoustica 06:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More popular?

message: I mean, a million varieties of foreign bread are white, and I doubt that's bleached flour. I saw Africans in some poor country making flatbread cooked on a dung wall oven, and it was as white as a white flour tortilla. Also, baguettes! Every baguette I've ever seen was white. And pretzels too. White flour simply can't be all that new-fangled or artificial when most normal bread products are made primarily from it and not "wheat" bread. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 05:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  is white bread really all that unusual? 

message: I would be grateful for more information. The discussion of the US in wartime does not relate to most other countries at the time. It was normal to ban the use of white bread, so only wholemeal bread (100% extraction) could be sold. White bread was, I believe, 90% extraction. Some of this 10% was certainly calorific and otherwise beneficial, so more people could be fed per ton. The alternative use of the by products to feed animals or pets was not terribly popular when the nation was at war. We have similar considerations in food policy. Not perhaps fascinating to the USA, but of critical interest to much of the world. (Similar considerations arise with rice, maize)AidWorker (talk) 17:34, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be a really interesting section, something a long the lines of war time rations. Im sure some sources can be found of this if anyone has the time.Beefcake6412 (talk) 17:57, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  More information needed 

message: The language here seems to be extremely biased towards white bread, and dismissive/disparaging of its opponents. Could anyone else help to clean this up? Kokopelli7309 (talk) 20:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

message: This article seems to be too vague on the differences between whole wheat and white bread, such as protein, fiber, B vitamins, Vitamin E and essential fatty acids.  This seems to be part of the overprocessed foods thing where the processing of wheat strips these vital nutrients away leaving a much less nutritional thing that seems to be basically just starch.
