Bread is a very popular food for many people, especially when eaten for breakfast, and it provides a lot of energy for the body.
After eating breakfast, people can also maintain a better mental state, which helps to improve the concentration of study or work.
How is bread made?
In fact, it is a series of steps such as putting flour and other ingredients in a bowl, then adding yeast for fermentation, then adding other accessories that need to be used, stirring well, and putting it in the oven, and finally you can get a delicious bread.
But nowadays, there are more and more types of bread, and there are all kinds of flavors and shapes, which is dizzying.
So with so many styles of bread, which ones are not worth buying?
A pastry chef once gave a list, these four breads must be avoided to buy, especially not to be used as treasures for children to eat, so what are the problems with these four types of bread?
Potassium bromate bread.
What is "potassium bromate"?
In fact, it is a harmful additive, and many businesses in the market add it to bread in order to enhance the appearance of bread.
A large part of the reason why bread looks so fluffy and soft is due to yeast.
The yeast ferments to produce carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to swell and form many small bubbles, which make the bread fluffy and soft.
However, because potassium bromate is a synthetic substance, there may be some residues left after being added to food that have not been eaten.
These ingredients are very harmful to people's health, especially children, whose bodies are relatively weak and may also lead to stunted growth, so never let them eat these breads containing potassium bromate.
So how can consumers distinguish when they buy?
In fact, there is a very simple way, just look at the production date to know.
If you buy freshly baked bread, you must be careful.
Because these fresh breads swell rapidly in a short period of time, it is likely that potassium bromate is added.
Whole grain bread.
There is also a kind of bread made of coarse grains and coarse grains on the market, and many parents think that coarse grains and coarse grains are very healthy foods, so it is healthier to give their children these breads.
But in fact, this practice is not right, in order to reduce costs, many merchants will mix these coarse grains and miscellaneous grains with ordinary white noodles to make them.
The coarse grain bread made in this way actually tastes very bad, even adults may not be able to accept it, not to mention children's tastes are more picky, and they will not like it.
Therefore, it is actually more difficult to let children eat bread made of coarse grains, but parents do not know this situation and think that children are picky eaters.
If your child doesn't like bread made from whole grains, you might as well try it yourself and you'll find this problem.
Therefore, when we choose bread, it is best to choose bread that is made exclusively from whole grains and has no other ingredients added.
Margarine bread.
Nowadays, in order to save costs, many businesses will use margarine instead of butter to make bread, which is very unhealthy.
Because the trans fatty acids in margarine can have a very big impact on the body's metabolism, which can lead to weight gain and may even lead to obesity.
One of the trans fatty acids, called trans-oleic acid, is said to cause abnormally high cholesterol levels, which can promote arteriosclerosis, and may also lead to serious problems such as cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, when we buy brioche bread, we should try to avoid choosing those brioche bread made with margarine, so as not to cause harm to the body.
If you don't particularly like greasy, you can choose to eat it in small amounts or not.
Because there are many low-calorie or low-sugar alternatives on the market, we can safely and boldly try products made without added margarine to avoid harm to the body.
Bread with excessive sugar content.
Nowadays, there are many sweet breads on the market with a beautiful appearance and excellent taste, but in fact, these desserts contain a very high amount of sugar, and if you are not careful, it is easy to consume too much sugar and cause damage to the body.
Children are very prone to indigestion, and if they eat a lot of sugar, it is easy to cause obesity and other problems.
Therefore, we recommend that adults also consider the issue of sugar when choosing desserts, so as not to affect their own weight, waist and other problems, not to mention children.
In fact, we can observe that these products contain a lot of sugar when choosing, and often this high-sugar food will not indicate how many grams of sugar it contains, because this will make consumers disgusted and suspicious, thereby reducing sales.
In fact, studies have shown that there is a significant correlation between high-sugar foods and obesity, so we should consume high-sugar foods in moderation to avoid affecting our health, and we should also reduce the exposure of children to high-sugar foods.
epilogue
All in all, when choosing food, we are responsible for our own health, and we must know that some businesses do not prioritize the health of consumers, but will sacrifice their health in order to increase sales.
Therefore, choosing healthy foods can not only reduce the risk of disease, but also improve the quality of life.
