The truth: an absolute misbelief!The bread is the most functional and at the same time well balanced food when it comes down to the contents of carbohydrates, proteins and fat. It is an exceptionally important and affordable source of valuable vegetable proteins. It is also one of the main sources of vegetable carbohydrates. 100 grams of Dobrudzha type of bread contains approximately 8,5 grams proteins, 1 gram fat and 46 grams carbohydrates. Bread contains all the unique amino acids, such as leucine, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan. It is a good source of vitamine B. It is also the everyday source for minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, iron. It also contains ballast substances, which while passing through the intestines, stimulate the activity of the human organs and carry with them the unnecessary fat from the consumed food. Thus, bread helps for the reduction of all bad cholesterol in the blood. The human being can survive long time by eating only bread.
The truth: a totally wrong perception!The human being gains weight, when he consumes more energy, then his body can use. Bread is far from being a rich in callories food. 100 grams of Dobrudzha type of bread contain 237 callories – in other words, one slice of bread contains approximately 75 callories. In comparison 100 grams of potatoe chips contain approximately 550 callories. Also: 100 grams chocolate – 560 callories, 100 grams cheese – 390 callories. The first decision of every 3 out of 4 people, when loosing weight is to exclude bread from their daily eating menu. It is total misconception, because bread, contrary to the commonly accepted opinion, helps in the reduction of weight and the restoration of a good body shape.
The truth: completely wrong!
The bread offered on the Bulgarian market, contains approximately 1 gram salt of every 100 grams of the product. On the average, Bulgarians eat 285 grams of bread daily and thus they consume around 2,85 grams of salt. The Bulgarian Health Organization has estimated that the consumption of salt in Bulgaria is approximately 15 grams daily per person.

Common salt is a mineral substance composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of ionic salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite. Salt is present in vast quantities in the sea where it is the main mineral constituent, with the open ocean having about 35 grams (1.2 oz) of solids per litre, a salinity of 3.5%. Salt is essential for animal life, and saltiness is one of the basic human tastes. The tissues of animals contain larger quantities of salt than do plant tissues; therefore the typical diets of nomads who subsist on their flocks and herds require little or no added salt, whereas cereal-based diets require supplementation. Salt is one of the oldest and most ubiquitous of food seasonings, and salting is an important method of food preservation.
The truth: the question here should be “With what?”No serious advantages have been discovered when it comes down to comparing rye bread to the common wheat bread. The main difference is the rye grains that contain polifenols, which have an antioxidant effect. Rye bread provides lower callories compared to wheat bread. Also it boosts the insulin and glucose metabolism as well as reduces the risk of diabetes type 2. It is appropriate for diabetics diets. Whole grain rye flour is not as rich in vegetable fibres which are very health beneficial, compared to whole grain wheat flour. In the same time rye bread has higher acidity. It is not recommended for people with increased gastric acidity. Rye bread is completely excluded from the menu of people with ulcer, people with liver problems and gallic troubles. It is also not recommended for people practicing heavy physical labour. In fact it is desirable to be consumed once a week.
The truth: what chemistry exactly?Bread is made out of flour, water, yeast and salt. The delusion for arteficial chemistry is a leftover from the days of the early democracy in Bulgaria (90s of XX), when the pioneer bakeries were selling fluffy white bread, colored with malt flour as “brown bread”. If you want to be healthy consume bread daily. There is no harmful bread. There is only wrong nutrition. Eat all kinds of bread for better and healtier nutrition.
