Why is whole-wheat bread better for you?
Whole-wheat bread is made from wheat flour before it's been stripped of its nutrients to obtain the light color and texture of white flour. Don't let the label fool you -- some "wheat bread" isn't really whole if it's made with enriched flour. Molasses is often added to give it the brown color associated with healthier whole-wheat bread.
