The Real Truth About White Bread

We know that there are many people round the world who enjoy eating white bread. But today, we'd like to give you some facts that may shock and surprise you. It's not only that white bread isn't good for your health, it can actually be a real danger to your health! 

The Swiss government has been aware of the dangers of eating white bread for decades and in order to get its populace to stop eating it, Switzerland has placed a tax on the purchase of white bread. The tax money is given to bakers to reduce the price of whole wheat bread to encourage people to switch.

The Canadian government passed a law prohibiting the “enrichment” of white bread with synthetic vitamins. Bread must contain the original vitamins found in the grain, not imitations .

Essentially, white bread is dead bread. Frequently, consumers are not told the truth about this and so called “enriched” flour.

Why is the color of white bread so white when the flour taken from wheat is not?

It’s because the flour used to make white bread is chemically bleached, just like you bleach your clothes. When you are eating white bread, you are also eating residual chemical bleach . Flour mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty bad.

Here are a few of them: Oxide of nitrogen, chlorine, chloride, nitrosyl and benzoyl peroxide mixed with various chemical salts.

One bleaching agent, chloride oxide, combined with whatever proteins are still left in the flour, produces alloxan. Alloxon is a poison and has been used to produce diabetes in laboratory animals. 

Chlorine oxide destroys the vital wheat germ oil. It will also shorten the flour’s shelf life.

Good Nutrition: You won’t find it In white bread In the process of making flour white, half of the good unsaturated fatty acids, that are high in food value, are lost in the milling process alone, and virtually all the vitamin E is lost with the removal of wheat germ and bran.  

As a result, the remaining flour in the white bread you buy, contains only poor quality proteins and fattening starch. But that is not the whole story as to the loss of nutrients. 

 

Here are some other statistics about the huge loss of nutrients when white bread is made:

 

 

 

· About 50% of all calcium is lost

· 70% of phosphorus

· 80% of iron

· 98% of  magnesium

· 75% of manganese

· 50% of potassium and

· 65% of of copper is destroyed when white bread is made.

· 80% of thiamin, 60% of riboflavin, 75% of niacin, 50% of pantothenic acid.

· About 50% of Pyridoxine is also lost.

Scientific study has confirmed what the swiss have known for years these horrific numbers are the results of a study run by the university of california, college of agriculture. It is obvious, from what we have learned, that white bread should be avoided.   

Whole wheat, rye and grain breads made with whole wheat flour are a better way. 

 

It is a good idea to always read the labels and never buy foods that contain artificial flavors, colors, bleached flour, preservatives, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.

Poem that cleanses air of pollution created in UK

Now a poem that cleanses air of pollution- sounds like science fiction, but it's real and happening! Researchers from the UK have successfully created the world's first air cleansing poem.

The poem is printed on a material and can eradicate air pollution caused by 20 cars per day.

The 10m x 20m piece of material is developed by the researchers from University of Sheffield. The material can remove harmful nitrogen oxide from the atmosphere by soaking it up.

The poem entitled 'In Praise of Air', which is printed on a material, is created by noted poet Simon Armitage, professor of poetry at the University and Tony Ryan, pro-vice chancellor for science.

 According to the researchers, the technology is cheap and could be applied to billboards and advertisements alongside congested roads to reduce air pollution.

The material is coated with microscopic pollution-eating particles of titanium dioxide which make use of sunlight and oxygen to react with nitrogen oxide pollutants and purify the air.

“ This is a fun collaboration between science and the arts to highlight a very serious issue of poor air quality in our towns and cities. The science behind this is an additive which delivers a real environmental benefit that could actually help cut disease and save lives,” said professor Ryan, who came up with the idea of using treated materials to cleanse the air.

The poem will be on display at the Alfred Denny Building of the University at Western Bank for a year.

Burning Incense Sticks are hazardous to health

Burning incense generates indoor air pollutants that may cause inflammation in human lung cells, a new study has found.

Previous studies,  have associated incense smoke with a number of health problems, including eye, nose, throat and skin irritation; respiratory symptoms, including asthma; headaches; exacerbation of cardiovascular disease; and changes in lung-cell structure.

Indoor air pollution is an international health concern. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 1 million people a year die from chronic obstructive respiratory disease (COPD), primarily a result of exposure to pollutants from cook stoves and open hearths. Burning incense releases similar pollutants, including carbon monoxide.

The researchers analysed both particulate concentrations and levels of gases such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and formaldehyde.

Human lung cells were placed in the chamber to expose them to the smoke, then incubated for 24 hours to allow particulates to settle and the cells to respond.

The resulting inflammatory response, a hallmark of asthma and other respiratory problems, was similar to that of lung cells exposed to cigarette smoke.

Since some people  spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors, researchers said, indoor air pollution has become a source of increasing concern.


Adding to the concern is that charcoal briquettes frequently are used to ignite and burn the incense. That adds significantly to potentially harmful levels of carbon monoxide and other pollutants, they said.
