14. I rarely eat/buy bread anymore because I tend to follow a moderately low carb diet, but...

Oct 2019

once in a while, I have to give in for a week or so. I'd tried Dave's Killer Bread because they have one with no added sugar and high fiber (Power Seed, I think). I did read the label and went to their website to see if there were any untoward ingredients, including bromide (a known endocrine disruptor that replaced KIodine for many breadmakers years ago) and really didn't see anything.

But, in buying that one loaf, I read ingredient labels for a lot of other supposedly high fiber, natural, or organic bread types. They are loading up on added sugars to avoid mold it would appear.

I still have a bread maker and think the next time I have that craving, I'll simply make my own favorite-- a recipe I modified from a landmark breakfast restaurant in Jackson Hole, WY--the Bunnery. It is called OSM bread (Oatmeal, sunflower seed, millet)--a very dense and hearty whole wheat bread that I just love.
