Who doesn't love crispy white toast dripping with melted spread? However, there are two problems with regularly consuming white bread for breakfast. First of all, white bread is made with white flour, a flour that has been processed in such a way as to remove the wholemeal part and the brown parts. Therefore, along with whole wheat, beneficial vitamins are also removed, especially B vitamins. Secondly, if we choose to spread our bread with margarine, we may gain more weight than we expected. Whole grain bread is made with unprocessed or minimally processed whole wheat, which is rich in nutrients. Even low-fat spreads contain some fat. In addition to being processed, margarine has also been made easy to spread from the fridge. Trans fats, also called partially hydrogenated oils, may be added during this process. Because trans fats have been linked to certain health problems such as high blood sugar and hypertension, there are calls for their ban. While their use is being phased out in the UK, they may still be present in imported foods. Butter, although higher in fat, is a better alternative because it is less processed and does not contain trans fats. If you must use spreads, keep them to a minimum and keep the bread golden.
