Care to tell my how it's garbage?.
Poor Americans are so conditioned to eat garbage to support their "health system" oligarchs, they can't even tell what's healthy what's not.
No matter how many healthy ingredients it contains, it does not negate the bad ingredients. Namely in this case a ton of sugar. You are eating cakes, not bread.
It's called "health halo" marketing.
Lol get over yourself. The bread is maybe 1-2g sugar per slice, cake is like 15g
Then why is sugar listed as the third ingredient? You do realise the ingredients are listed from the most to the least contained in the product. If sugar is 1-2g, then your slice of bread must weigh no more than 10 grams, LOL
Edit: I looked up your "Dave’s Killer Bread (21 Whole Grains)" and it has 3 to 5 grams of added sugar per slice! Yeah, that's a cake.
Funny how it's marketed as healthy in the USA. Like I said you are conditioned to eat garbage, and you believe the lies they tell you.
Enjoy getting diabetes from your "healthy bread". Gotta support that "health system" somehow, otherwise it would be very unprofitable to have a healthy population.
The bread in my pantry is sara lee whole wheat, 1g sugar/26g slice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
From memory, a typical grocery store whitebread is 2g for a similar size slice
The ingredient list is a mile long and the third most ingredient is sugar.
Bread needs flour, water, yeast and salt.
Sugar, molasses (different sugar), probably no fermentation time, probably no crust.
Different point, is that really the average bread? I doubt it.
“Hazelnut spread”
Sweet brown palm oil.
Sugar held together by palm oil.
