Myth: Brown Bread Is Always Healthier Than White Bread

Many people believe brown bread is inherently healthier than white bread, leading to a preference for brown options.

Brown bread isn’t always healthier; it depends on ingredients. True whole-grain bread contains more fiber and nutrients, but some brown breads are dyed to look healthier without added benefits. The Journal of Food Science and Technology emphasizes reading labels for whole grains over color alone. Recognizing the difference helps people make informed choices for health rather than assuming all brown breads are superior.
