The moon does not exist (or there is a cover up for some shady business on the moon). I didn't make it up, Google told me so.
This is an obvious troll, people.4 -

YES! My mother and grandfather both had wheat grinders. My mother made us bread from ground wheat berries for years. If there was a hard way to do something, she did it, lol. She raised goats for milk, too.0 -

If you think Wonder Bread and whole grain bread are the same, I can't help you.
Who claimed they were the same thing?
The fact that they're both complex carbohydrates doesn't mean they're the same thing.
Do you understand how categories work?
My dog and I are both mammals. My dog and I are not the same thing.
California and Maine are both states. California and Maine are not the same thing.11 -

Bread is a complex carbohydrate.
Anyway, if my body can burn sugar or fat, then eating sugar provides me with something my body can burn. What's the problem?
Eat it up we want a good body burn haha1 -
Bread and rice are fine. But I found cutting down bread helped my weight loss. Big rolls and bagels are high calorie and often wraps and tortillas work better.1

Then it helped your weight loss because you were eating less calories - not because you cut down on bread.4 -

Tortillas are not automatically lower calorie or lower carb than bread - at many sandwich places the wrap option has the same number of calories as a regular sandwich.
And for me, at least, tortillas spike my blood glucose more than bread does. Even corn tortillas which should theoretically be lower carb cause a bigger spike than I would expect given the net carbs. It seems like a tortilla digests quicker.2 -
Truth is every time you eat your insulin levels raise to counter act the additional glucose produced by your body during the digestion process. Now when you eat simple carbohydrates like bread or food with processed sugars in them the insulin spike is much higher. Insulin spikes can be dangerous but mainly in individuals with a medal condition like certain types of diabetes. For healthy adults regular portioned meals with healthy carbs should be ok. I am a Hispanic man, who's mother made sure to give him a good portion of steamed rice with pretty much every meal from the time I could eat solid foods until I moved out. Rice is not inherently bad, as a matter of fact glucose is needed for proper neurological functions. Its simple carbohydrates in excess that are a problem because in most cases they are not used by the body immediately and thus end up being stored as excess fat in our bodies (not good). If you want to keep your food portioning simple and healthy check the following article out.

It has some useful information that is straight forward and practical.
Don't be afraid of rice or bread just consume those and other types of foods in balanced meals that support your level of activity and you should be perfectly fine.
Good Luck!2 -

"Simple carbohydrates are made of one or two sugar molecules and are easily absorbed, rapidly increasing blood sugar levels. Examples include refined grains, such as white bread, candy and desserts. These simple carbohydrates often lack vitamins, minerals and fiber. By contrast, complex carbohydrates, such as those found in beans or whole-grain breads, are made of three or more sugar molecules. These longer sugar chains are slower to absorb, leading to steady blood sugar levels. Complex carbohydrates also provide fiber for digestion and weight control, B vitamins for energy, cancer-fighting vitamin E and a rich diversity of other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants."

Are you quoting Dr. Google again? I'm T2 diabetic in remission. I have been to dozens of diabetic classes. The above quote is simply wrong. Think about it. White flour and brown flour come from the same grain. The carbohydrate source is identical. The only difference is that the brown flour has extra fibre. It turns out that fibre does slow down absorption so the sugar spike is not as steep. I can slow it down even farther by eating either bread with a bit of protein like cheese, tuna, or PB.
This same principle can be found with the new white pastas labelled as high fibre. All the manufacturer has done is add a white/clear fibre.10 -
I have bread everyday, I just choose the right one1
