I consider the article below very informative on bread, especially for those who think bread is okay. It's as bad , if not worse than Sodas or so called Soft Drinks or eating terrible foods like Pizza all of which are wrecking havoc on our health. Unfortunately, I could not get the source of the material. Pls read as presented below and be well guided:

THE UNPOPULAR FACT ABOUT EATING BREAD

We grew up thinking bread was a gift, something for the elite and special. In my town, it is in your subconscious that you buy bread while travelling.

Bread came with warmth, laughter around breakfast tables, and quick dinners on tired nights.

But no one told us that the same bread we trusted could become a slow poison stitched into our very bloodstream.

Bread today is not the bread of our ancestors.
It is a chemistry experiment, refined starch, stripped fiber, added sugars, hydrogenated oils, emulsifiers, bleaching agents, bromates, each ingredient hijacking our biology in ways our tongues can't taste, but our cells can't ignore.

At the molecular level, that soft, fluffy slice explodes into glucose almost instantly.
Your blood sugar surges like a river breaking its banks.

Insulin pours out to contain the flood, but the damage has begun:
fat lodges into the liver, mitochondria sputter under oxidative stress, your gut barrier cracks open, and inflammation becomes a permanent resident in your body.

Bread is not just food anymore. It is instruction, a dangerous message telling your cells to store fat, to inflame, to age, to decay.

The evidence is no longer hidden. As far back as 1916, Dr. J.R. Lowery, writing in the Texas Medical Journal, showed that bread was no innocent staple. He traced pellagra, a disease of dementia, diarrhea, and death, to poor-quality bread.

Today, leading scholars like Professor Robert Lufkin show how bread fuels the global epidemics of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, heart disease, cognitive decline, and autoimmune breakdown.

Still, every morning in Nigeria and across Africa, the rituals continue.
Bread with Akamu.
Bread with noodles.
Bread with sugary tea.
Bread stuffed with beans.
Bread as the cheap filler when hunger knocks and patience is thin.

But while our mouths are satisfied, our bodies are paying debts we cannot see.
The pancreas exhausted.
The liver suffocating under fat.
The gut inflamed and leaking toxins into the bloodstream.
The brain clouded by silent inflammation.

You think it’s normal to feel tired by noon.
You think it’s normal to forget names, to wake up with back pain, to feel your skin dull and your moods crash without warning.
But it is not normal.
It is metabolic deregulation.
It is the price of silent addiction.

Bread is engineered to addict you.
Not by taste alone, but by chemistry, through rapid glucose spikes and dopamine floods that hijack the reward circuits of your brain.
You crave not because you are weak, but because the food was designed to make you need more.

When you remove bread, you do not just lose weight.
You reclaim energy.
You reclaim focus.
You reclaim clarity, skin vibrancy, digestive peace, metabolic dignity.

Diseases the world accepts as normal, ulcers, gastritis, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, fatty liver, begin to retreat when the bread trap is broken.

This is not guesswork. It is clinical reality.
It is biophysics.
It is the quiet cry of your mitochondria for mercy.

Our ancestors did not survive on bleached flour and processed oils.
They ate foods that spoke the language of the body: roots, tubers, fresh grains, leafy greens, real proteins, slow-burning energy.
Their bodies moved with the seasons, not against them.
Their health was not perfect, but it was coherent, not this metabolic chaos normalized today.

You have a choice.

Every bite is a signal.
Every meal is a decision.
Either you build health, or you build dysfunction.

I no longer eat bread.
Not because of fear, but because of love, for my cells, for my future, for the silent miracles happening inside me every second I choose rightly.

You owe yourself that love too.

Bread is the comfort that costs too much.
Choose life. Choose lightness. Choose clarity.

And if you must eat bread, let it be rare, sacred, and made from ingredients your great-grandmother would recognize, not compounds your liver struggles to pronounce.

Break free.
Your body already knows what freedom feels like.
It’s only waiting for you to remember.

Thank you for the patience demonstrated in the reading.

Here we go again! 😩

I know a man that eats bread almost everyday and die at the age of 91years.

I know a man that eats bread almost everyday and die at the age of 91years.

Pls let's be well guided. There is this thinking that because a Mr. A eats something and nothing bad happens to him, Mr. B can do sam.

Let's say this 91 year old man that eats bread every day as you said, also endulges in more vegetables, eats more wholesome foods and not packaged foods like indomie etc, and does lots of exercise, especially indirectly as in primitive farming activities etc. Yes, he may still live up to 91 years, but that still does not mean the bread is okay. His life style may have been countering some of the negative effects of the bread eating and may have experienced e en better health without the bread.

Now somebody for example who eats indomie everyday, Soft drinks, etc and was raised in an environment where you drive or transports to school or work every day will now say ' that man eats bread every day and lived up to 90 years'. The difference in life styles means the degree or the effect or consequences of eating bread may be different but it still does not mean that the bread is a healthy food.

In both instances, both the health of the man of up to 90 years who eats bread every day, and the other person already predisposed to unhealthy foods and life styles, will both be better served in avoiding bread.

Thank you for this piece, the foods we eat this days are killing us. Bread, especially the ones without chemicals and preservatives are still better than lots of chemical drinks, refined foods, pastas, colors, extracted oils and msgs and artificial flavors that people consume daily.
