DID YOU KNOW?
Gluten found in most breads can lead to inflammation of the digestive tract which creates health issues like ‘leaky gut syndrome’.
Wheat and other grains increase LDL cholesterol levels which over time can cause heart issues.
Breads made using grain and other carbohydrates that lead to spikes in sugar levels can cause the pancreas to secrete larger doses of insulin to bring your sugar levels back down. Insulin is a fat producing hormone.
Most store-bought breads contain sugar.
