Is Your Bread Slowly Killing You?

Are there "hidden dangers" in every slice of bread you eat?
Are you slowly being poisoned by your daily bread? You could
be. Find out now if you are, and what you can do about it.
If you eat white (or any kind of store bought) bread, then here are a
few things you should know before you put that next slice in your
mouth.
For example...did you know that the inclusion of hydrogenated oils,
artificial preservatives, emulsifiers, additives and other chemicals in
bread became standard practice in the mid 1950's?
At this same time whole wheat flour was replaced by bleached, enriched
white flour. In this process, grain is bleached and sterilized with
chemicals to make it white and soft.
It is then artificially "enriched" by adding vitamins, minerals and
other materials destroyed in the chemical process.
Despite what you may have been told, trying to enrich something with
the very vitamins and minerals that were removed from it in the first
place, does not make it even half as healthy as the natural unrefined
version.
When you think about this, it doesnt even make much
sense.
It is also a growing practice in many bread producing factories to
replace white flour with substances like alum, ground rice, and whiting.
Alum is the most commonly used of all these substances, because it
gives the bread a whiter color and causes the flour to absorb and retain a
larger amount of water than it would otherwise hold.
This enables the factories to produce bread which imitates bread made
from a higher quality flour.
This tainting of your bread with harmful, cancer causing chemicals such
as potassium bromate, emulsifiers (both commonly used in bread
production), and alum jeopardizes your health.
Do you know why your store bought bread has such a long shelf life?
The mysteriously prolonged shelf life is because of a particular
emulsifier used in making the bread. This emulsifier is mainly used as a
softening agent and tends to deceive buyers as to the real age of their
bread.
This emulsifier can hide the signs that your bread is rotting (it
certainly doesnt stop the rotting) for a few extra weeks, but the harm it
does to your body (and the harm in eating the half rotten bread) makes the
cost for this convenience very high.
Is it any wonder then, that every year a growing number of people just
like you and I, are being hospitalized with illnesses and incurable
diseases?
Is it possible for you to protect yourself and your loved ones against
unhealthy and harmful bread?
Well, buying bread from a store is certainly not the right choice to
make. Even if you buy commercially produced whole wheat bread you're not
getting healthy food.
A lot of times what passes for whole wheat bread is actually white
bread colored with caramel.
If the first ingredient in a loaf of whole wheat bread is unbleached
enriched flour, then you're not truly buying whole wheat bread at all,
just white bread (loaded with chemicals) that is disguised as whole wheat
bread.
There is only one true solution to ensure that you
avoid poisonous, toxic bread. And that is to bake your own healthy whole
wheat bread.
This is no where near as difficult as it sounds. In fact its dead set
simple.
All you need is a good proven recipe, and an expert guide to teach you
just once what to do. I'd be glad to provide you with both.
