What
the experts say
David Leonard UNH – Cooperative Extension Program
Associate, Food and Nutrition at University of New Hampshire
wrote in his article “How’s your Bread IQ”
that :
“Stone ground whole-wheat bread is
made from coarsely ground whole-wheat flour. It’s
an especially healthy choice for diabetics or ‘pre-diabetes’
because the starch in these larger flour particles converts
25 per cent more slowly to blood sugar compared to most
other breads.”
The high dietary fibre content of Wellness Whole Wheat bread
helps to maintain energy levels by stabilizing carbohydrate
metabolism and blood sugar levels.
Canola oil is important to our diet because it contains 10
per cent omega-3 fatty acids, shown to be beneficial to the
heart and immune system. Canola oil also has the lowest level
of saturated fat, (bad type), about 7 per cent, and a moderate
level of polyunsaturated fat (good type), about 22 per cent.
