And yes they are the kind of people who are into apple cider vinegar and most every other such remedy.

FWIW whole grain breads are much heartier than processed breads so it's a no brainer for us to chose what get's us further. In fact we prefer the sprouted grain breads - in our opinion it makes bread an even more substantial part of a meal. I've heard gluten sensitive people might better tolerate such bread.

We've become avid calorie counters recently - things like bread, cheese, mayo and oil are the first things I needed to cut back on to make it work. Unless one is certified as glutton sensitive it seems a far cry from the serious dietary issues faced by most Americans.

I think your analysis was about spot on - it's not something I'm worried about but I'm quite sure it's very important to the lifestyle for many people and it's worth people's awareness.

Give me rhythm or give me death!

My mother had arthritis... - mkuller 15:54:40 10/29/14 (2)
...in her hands.

She read a book that related it to food sensitivities and triggers.

She eliminated white refined sugar and flour from her diet, began baking with whole wheat or rye four and honey, and her arthritis improved.

She went to a church pot-luck and sampled some of the other food and it flared up again.

She was convinced.

I think all of the processed foods in our diet certainly aren't doing us any good and as more research is done, we will continue to find out how harmful it is.

Obesity, diabetes and even some other allergies can be related to this.

  Sugar and reduced fat are the two worst things that ever happened to our food supply. If the package says, 'Reduced' or 'Low Fat', then you can bet that it's been loaded up with sugar and salt to make the cardboard taste like it isn't cardboard.
  
  Even bread has lots of added sugar. I just looked at the 100% Whole Wheat Bread from Oroweat and it's got 4 grams per slice. One sandwich gives you 1/3 of your daily sugar recommended intake. Add a soda and you know why obesity is an epidemic.
  
  The World Health Organization is dropping its sugar intake recommendations from 10 percent of your daily calorie intake to 5 percent.
  
  For an adult of a normal body mass index (BMI), that works out to about 6 teaspoons -- or 25 grams -- of sugar per day.
  
  Many people don't realize much of the sugar they take in are "hidden" in processed foods, according to WHO. A can of soda may contain up to 10 teaspoons or 40 grams of sugar. A tablespoon of ketchup has 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  
  You'll also notice that sugar is one ingredient on labels that doesn't show a % of Daily Value. Why? Is it because the farmers want their corn money and the government caves in?

    ...reduced fat and carbs - good.
    
    Added sugar - worse.
