Thank you to Food Babe for advocating for healthier food options. Check out Organic Bread of Heaven if you haven't already!
Before you stock up on bread for school lunches, READ THE INGREDIENTS.
So many conventional sandwich breads are filled with preservatives, dough conditioners, refined oils, and other additives that have no business being in something as simple as bread.
My partner, Organic Bread of Heaven, is my go-to. Their bread tastes amazing, the ingredients are stellar, and the loaves freeze really well so I can stock up.
Most breads contain ingredients like this…
⚠️ DATEM & MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES: Contains trans fat which is strongly correlated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
⚠️ SOY LECITHIN: Derived from GMO soybeans and likely extracted with hexane, a neurotoxin.
⚠️ CALCIUM PROPIONATE: This preservative disrupts the metabolism and can promote weight gain. Animal studies show that it also leads to high blood sugar and insulin resistance, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
And don’t forget about the pesticides!
Conventional wheat is typically sprayed with synthetic pesticides, which can leave residues in bread!
The wheat used by Organic Bread of Heaven is tested for glyphosate (Round-up) and it’s certified organic - which is another reason to feel safe feeding it to your children.
