being scared of bread is a pastime for bored liberals
Don't know where you live but in America when most people think of bread they think white bread made from hyper-refined flour with a bunch of sugar added in. That shit is bad for you. It's the definition of empty calories. Real bread made from whole wheat with no sugar is better but you shouldn't be eating half a loaf every day.

dont tell me what to do you piece of fuck
Unless you have Coeliac disease or a diagnosed intolerance you do not need to worry about gluten.
As for calorie content there are worse things out there.
Carbohydrates are sugars. The complexity of these is just about how much energy you will get from them. Nothing about them is inherently bad.
Real bread shouldn't have any sugar. Carbs are fine if you're getting nutrients along with them.
mmm bakeries that have late baguettes so you can get them warm out of the oven in the afternoon
About as much as any other carb-heavy food. So, it depends on your personal situation.
There is the issue of the corrupt USDA pushing grains as an essential part of any diet when they're really not, because of corporate lobbying.
I'd be surprised if there was reliable life expectancy data from pre-agricultural times.
We could be all hippy dippy crunch granola about it and say that "modern" bread might be less good than something simpler/home made with a lack of preservatives/stabilizers/color additives and more added sugar that is necessary for the recipe.
Otherwise, its fine unless all you eat is bread and never move, i guess.The bread sold in America is full of chemicals and sugar. It sounds like you already make your own, so you don't need to worry. :breadpill:
I watched the Michael Pollen "Cooked" series on Netflix years ago and have only eaten whole grain, bakery-made or homemade bread since. I'm not sure how well it holds up, but I recommend it.
I've always been a bread and toast guy, and changing out my bread for the real stuff really helped with some digestive issues I always had.
