Fond of bread? You might want to bake your own after watching this!
Nutritionist Revant Himatsingka recently took to Twitter and revealed how bread which is the most common breakfast option in India is also the unhealthiest one.
Himatsingka said, "There are two types of bread in India. One which is openly unhealthy (white bread), and the second type (brown, multigrain, wholewheat) which pretend to be healthy when they are not!"
In his video, he revealed that bread be it white, brown, multigrain and even whole wheat is equally harmful to health.
While white bread is filled with maida, brown bread in India contains a caramel colour 150A that is also found in products like Coke and Bourn Vita. For those who consume whole wheat bread, maida is the main ingredient and whole wheat is only 20 per cent. Speaking of multigrain bread, it also contains high amounts of maida instead of grains.
So, instead of consuming bread, the Nutritionist recommends three alternatives. You can bake your own bread, opt for homemade roti and most importantly read the ingredients before buying bread and choose the ones which are without maida, palm oil and preservatives for example, The Baker's Dozen bread. It is easily available online or at supermarkets.
