Ubiquitous in western life and now found worldwide, bread is the food of modernity and whete modernity is found so too is a host of health issues which simply did not exist throughout history.
Whether it is diabetes, heart disease, liver failure, or simply obesity and all its associated afflictions a clear direct link can be establish between it and bread.
High in calories and devoid of meaningful nutrition beyond that, bread is the original ultra processed food. Despite sharing almost the exact same lifestyle and all our modern comforts the developed nations of Asia do not face these same issues to even half the degree their Western counterparts do. Why? Simple: bread.

generic store brand bread that is made out of plastic is not the sole cause but it is a large contributor. you should probably view it more as a symbol of the problem with the food supply. instead of focusing on a single item focus on the trends observed across the wide spectrum.
look for ingredients that appear across multiple products, and try to cook your own meals from basic ingredients.

This would be mitigated with whole wheat flatbread since carb brain tards think anyone who dislikes their slavefeed is a conspiracy theorist. Might as well take a more subtle approach than giving them starch withdrawal

You niggas realise the type of grain is different than it was 2 or 300 years ago right? When i eat American toast my stomach hurts like hell but when i eat the bread in Europe i don't feel a thing. The modern grain is garbage and almost indigestible.

1900's America focused on making high-yielding and disease-resistant red wheat, and now we have modern wheat varieties. They were bred to have way more gluten. This is the common staple wheat in America. Not to mention during processing the US adds a shit ton of glyphosates and iron-enriches it. The iron used in this process is not easily absorbed by our bodies, it accumulates in the gut and grows pathogenic bacteria. Europe kept it's ancient grain and banned glyphosates and chose not to enrich their flour because of the risk it poses. Not only is the grain different than the American one but how it's processed is also different. This is why countries with shit grains and bad processing often have gluten sensitivity and celiac disease.

Also known as Roundup™ sprayed on Roundup™ ready crops that have been genetically modified to resist the herbicide. Nasty shit, definitely not fit for human consumption, and it's a broad spectrum herbicide so it kills basically everything except the genetically modified crops. Terrible for the environment and I would never want that shit anywhere near my yard.

All bread is garbage, modern bread is just even worse. Grains are some of the worst shit you can eat, just starvation "food". And for the dumbass vegans who stalk this place everyday, the bioavailability of nutrients in grains (and any whole plant source to be honest) is hard proof that we lack adaptation to it. Persisting in consuming foods for which we lack adaptation is called Evolutionary Mismatch, and the results are exactly the same as if our environment had suddenly changed counter to our adaptations; it results in sickness, infertility and eventually extinction.

Listen up, ya idjits.
>muh modern diseases
They were still blaming health issues on ill humors 150 years ago. They were still bloodletting for everything well into the 1900s. Modern diseases are just a symptom of modern medicine actually being able to diagnose the same things we've always had. You know what disease you can attribute to grains in our diets? Fucking longevity. Not having to hunt and gather for every stupid calorie is why we live long enough to even get sick.
>muh European bread
Americans have access to all the same bread types Europeans do. Whose fault is it that you only shop on the bottom shelf where they keep the wonderbread? That's right, it's your fault. Fix your posture and look at what's available up top.
>whole wheat, whole grain, blah blah
Fiber and vitamins. There's no fucking magic in what's lost in the milling process, it's just fiber and vitamins, and not even a lot of either. If you're eating your fruits and vegetables because you're not a fucking child then this doesn't matter.
>sugar in muh bread
Industrial bakeries use about the same amount of sugar per loaf as they do salt. It's maybe a tablespoon for a 1lb loaf. It's not there as a sweetener, unless you're eating something that's meant to be sweet like brioche, it's there as a yeast regulator.
>fortified flour
The iron is literally there because poors and women won't eat meat for some stupid reason. Look it up. No, iron in your flour doesn't cause your gut biome to go wackadoodle. In fact, if you think gut anything, you don't get to talk - you're clearly getting your info from your mother's Facebook feed and any random health guru grifter you see parroting whatever bad science is popular today.

I appreciate the sentiment but no, not even close. 32.4% of white US adults are obese compared to 36% of spics and 41.8% of niggers, bringing the national average to 33.1%. Even if you removed spics and niggers you'd still be much fatter than almost all of Europe.

>>77057764
It was already explained that European wheat is different than American wheat earlier in the thread, genius. And the gut biome is real, no matter what nonsense some boomers post on Facebook. It's real and you should eat stuff to help it flourish.
You thought this would be a /thread moment but it's not, you're just babbling about shit you're wrong about that's already been answered in this thread.
>>
>>77057783
My friend, you're talking to a guy that was a professional baker for well over a decade. I know more about the differences in wheat than you do, and I've baked with all manners of wheat varieties. Including imported French and Italian wheats. There have been regional varieties since the dawn of wheat - pray tell, which do you in your infinitely small wisdom think we as a species are most adapted to?
And the gut biome is real, sure. But nothing you read online about it is based in responsible science. Did you know, it just kind of adapts to whatever you feed it? Shocking, I know.
Quit repeating things gleaned only from the first paragraphs of blogs that all end with "buy my supplements" and learn to think for yourself.

Not only is it useless because you don't absorb over 90% of it, it fucks up your gut microbe. Sure they had good intentions but it doesn't fucking work.
>You know what disease you can attribute to grains in our diets? Fucking longevity.
Around 85% of minerals in soil were lost in the past 150 years ago. They didn't spray their land with Roundup™ back then as the other anon said. There's barely any nutrition in it. Not even just wheat but corn too.
>muh sugar
Most larger scale and commercial bakeries use high fructose corn syrup and sneed oils too.

>Americans have access to all the same bread types Europeans do.
We have access but it's not so easy. You walk into any restaurant and market in Europe and you're guaranteed quality bread. Unless the flour is imported here from Europe or grown in the same way you don't have the same shit. Plus bakeries here are expensive. The average American doesn't have the same good bread as your average euro.
>Modern diseases are just a symptom of modern medicine
That doesn't explain obesity, diabetes, rise in immunity disorders. The modern lifestyle is completely different. Of course you'll get diseases and problems when you change what was a more natural lifestyle. Even the shitty peasant bread 150 years ago was more nutritious and less harmful than most American bread lol.

>couldn't strongly correlate it with any actual symptoms.
The kids still ended up with with a completely different gut than initially, more pathogenic bacteria also but they couldn't correlate it to iron fortification because the sample size was too small and African kids often shit themselves that's why they give them iron retard. You also completely skipped over that iron fortification didn't really help as much as we think it does. If you take iron supplements and read their side effects gastrointestinal problems is written in fucking bold for you.
>Not a fan of the roundupifucation, but have you heard of fertilizer?
Ok, try convincing most American wheat farms to stop using it then.
>Every single grocery store in my area sells fresh baked bread of all kinds.
Good for you, I also buy imported flour but it is still not the most common type of grain or processing in America. It's still mostly garbage.
>They just called everything stupid things like "consumption" and started letting blood to balance the humors at the first sign of a cold.
You're right in certain aspects yes but you can't generalize it my dude. Obesity didn't increase because they didn't have a name for it, and allergies are pretty fucking obvious even 200 years ago yet they're way more common now, especially in developed countries. Why are way more people suddenly sensitive to bread and flour or get random allergies? Why are so many youngins getting heart problems and palpitations? the lifestyles have changed.

they've been able to diagnose diabetes since ancient times, they could tell your pee was sweet. only you used to just die from things like that and celiac and heart disease and cancer (they knew about this too) and whatever else. not many fat people either, especially as fat as they get now

We started out with flatbreads, then with wild sourdough, then someone made beer and then someone else mixed the beer yeast with flour.
Better than having to repeatedly soak some tubers so they're not toxic anymore like in some tropical lands.

Read that? The change in the gut didn't do anything. Also it says there that they attributed the lack of absorption to other dietary factors. Learn to read.

Yup.

Obesity is up largely because restaurant food is so cheap. For decades restaurant prices haven't kept pace with inflation - things actually just started to get more expensive recently and we're all shocked about it. Nobody ate out 6+ meals a week 30, 40 years ago. It's weird that nobody ever seems to mention this when talking about obesity. People ate at home and actually, they cooked like shit - lard and butter and grease on everything - but portions were more controlled because Momma had to actually slave at that stove all afternoon to make it happen. But you went to McD's in the 90's and $3 could net you 1000+ calories.

I started making my own bread with Italian flour.
RFK & Joe Rogan were right.
It's Flour that doesn't have cheap fillers and Weed killer mixed into it.
Makes a huge difference in taste and how you feel afterwards.
Also gets digested slower than the Goy Slopppp.

True, bread served as a cheap, easily storable food that allowed for population grown and imperial expansions. It kept slaves, later peasants, and now wageslaves, just alive enough to labor on while their masters enjoyed real food (meat)

>>77058805
>no shit, I already said it adapts to diet)
No shit but what do you think the changes are? Good bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli tend to decrease. Harmful bacteria, including enteric E. coli, tend to increase. Just because the gut adapts to the diet doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Now you have inflammation in the gut.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5701709/
Here's another study on anemic children. Sure it helps at first but above the ages of 6 months most of it is shat away. The kids also had more diarrhea. Why? Because harmful bacteria is more likely to grow in your stomach. Iron supplements in general can cause gut issues. You're better off actually eating animal products.
>Glosses over the part where fertilizer fixes any so called soil depletion's effect on the final product.
Ok if there's fertiliser why is our food still a lot more nutritionless than a century ago? Do they even use enough? Answer me that.
>Obesity is up largely because restaurant food is so cheap.
>Nobody ate out 6+ meals a week 30, 40 years ago
True, eating out is now common, portions grew a ton. But it's not just that, nowadays people are grazing on high-calorie ultra processed snacks, a ton of addictive packaged food, sugary drinks, etc. Also people are way more sedentary now. More screen time, less walking, more cars, more desk jobs, more stress, less sleep. It's not just about portions, it's also the influx of sugary and slop everywhere.
>but portions were more controlled because Momma had to actually slave at that stove all afternoon to make it happen.
Yes true.
