"I stay away from wheat bread and sometimes eat other types of sprouted breads or wholegrain breads other than wheat. Just read the ingredients on the label. Make sure they are organic and there should be only a few ingredients. Do not buy bread if it has honey, molasses, sugar, or ingredients you cannot pronounce. On my bread, I use a little raw butter, and sometimes I eat an apple with this meal as well. If I am in a rush, I will take some organic apples and pears and make fresh juice." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Contain yeast (such as bread). 2. Contain foods that stimulate the growth of yeast (such as sugar), or that contain other forms of mold or fungus (such as cheese or mushrooms). The worst foods are those that contain both yeast and sugar, such as cake, cookies, pastries, and pancakes. Other extremely harmful foods are those with exceptionally high amounts of yeast in them, such as high-rising breads, or beer (among adults). Foods to Avoid (1) Foods that contain yeast: Breads. • Bagels. • Pastries. • Pretzels. Crackers. Pizza dough. • Cake. • Rolls." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Limit grain-based foods to three or four servings per day (1 serving = 1 cup cooked whole grains, whole-grain cereals or pasta, or 1 slice bread). Go easy on bread. Most of us eat too much of the wrong kinds. The only kinds of breads I recommend are whole-grain rye and sprouted grain breads, which have a much lower glycemic index than any other bread, including whole-wheat breads. • Become familiar with the glycemic index of foods you like, and eat mostly those foods that cause a slow release of blood sugar." - Dr. Julian Whitaker, The Memory Solution (Get the book.)

"Avoid wheat bread and wheat-based products; try sprouted grain or gluten-free breads. Food for Life has a great line of these products. Try some of the less familiar but highly nourishing whole grains such as millet, buckwheat, teff, quinoa, amaranth, spelt, bulgur wheat, and barley. These are all available, often in bulk form, through natural food stores. You'll want to "go organic" with these foods, as well as others, whenever possible." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Good carbohydrates: corn bread made 100% from cornmeal for example, and bad carbohydrates: white bread, for example. Good carbohydrates: green vegetables; bad carbohydrates: sugar. You see? The word carbohydrates alone doesn't say anything. It doesn't say anything about the quality of the carbohydrate. The quality - that is the kicker! Therefore, the only carbohydrates that we would advise a person to eat are good carbohydrates." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"For lunch children generally ate the standard diet: bread only, rice and bread, or rice only. The researchers returned to Mauritius in 1987, when the research subjects were seventeen years old. The researchers did inventories that probed for antisocial personality disorder and personality disorder and assembled a comprehensive data set on behavior problems. (Schizotypal personality disorder is considered a precursor for the later development of schizophrenia and is marked by flatness in mood, suspiciousness, reduced capacity, and various cognitive distortions if not delusions." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Bakers know the true art of baking bread, but with the handy use of automatic bread machines, just about anyone can give it a try. We don't have to do much anymore in the way of technique. If you dump in all the right ingredients (in the right balance—this is even guaranteed thanks to premixed packets), you get a luscious, warm loaf of fresh homemade bread in about a couple of hours or so. But what if you don't have a little packet of ingredients and you forget the yeast? What if you use too much salt? This is the same approach we use with cellular nutrition." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Bread pills, tonics, powders, tinctures—all these things were used by doctors, though always with some sense of defensiveness and ambivalence. In 1903, Richard Cabot, Harvard Medical School professor and a doyen of American medicine, confessed: "I was brought up, as I suppose every physician is, to use placebos, bread pills, water subcutaneously, and other devices for acting upon a patient's symptoms through his mind." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Limit your intake of bread and bread products, eating only small portions of "grainy" breads that include whole grains and seeds. (Look for a product that provides at least 3 grams of fiber per slice.) • Avoid commercial breakfast cereals, which are usually laden with sugar and include hydrogenated fats. Instead, choose breakfast cereals that include organic barley, bran, or oats and are free of hydrogenated fats. • Avoid all sugars, including both granulated sugar and brown sugar. • Bake, grill, or steam your foods, using extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil only sparingly." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"The plan thus rules out typical carbohydrate overloads like a big bowlful of sugared cereal with white bread toast and processed orange juice, or a serving of Italian bread followed by a plateful of pasta. PAM: The Main Ingredients 1. Low-glycemic vegetables, grains, and fresh fruits. The best way to keep insulin and blood sugar levels low is to eat carbohydrates that rank low on the glycemic index. These foods usually contain more fiber (roughage)." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Frankish king, Guntram, visited a nearby village and, in Gregory's telling, anyway, prevented the disease from entering by advising the villagets to eat only barley bread, and to drink only pure water. The power of inter-cessionary prayer is a frequent feature of Gregory's chronicle. Two years later, the plague decimated Viviers and Avignon, "raged through other parts of Gaul, but thanks to the prayers of Saint Gall"—who led his parishioners on a Lenten march more than fifty miles long?it claimed no victims in Clermont-Ferrand." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"They could be stored for up to a year and made into bread or all manner of different dishes. Once adopted, the new crop rapidly became a staple. Between 1693 and 1791, grain consumption in Flanders alone fell from 758 grams per person per day to 475 grams as potatoes replaced about 40 percent of cereal consumption. Nutritional diseases declined throughout Europe. By the 1830s northern Europe had become a major economic force, partly because the potato had reduced the famine cycles so typical of the Little Ice Age." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Cover the bread generously with tuna mixture, then top with a tomato slice and grated cheese. Return to the toaster or oven and broil until the cheese melts. Makes 4 servings." - C. W.

"After failing to deny bread to Belisarius's soldiers, Vitigis turned toward a frontal assault on the city, directing his engineers to construct four huge ox-drawn siege towers: fortified frameworks designed to hold battering rams suspended from interior chains.* As the Goths rolled the rams toward the city, Belisarius climbed to the firing step along the facing rampart and, at great tange, and to the morale-building delight of his troops, killed two Gothic officers with his own bow." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Longevity continues to increase, but there are better explanations than folic acid in our bread. Randomized controlled trials of lowering homocysteine with folic acid led to no discernible reduction in vascular events in vascular disease or effect on cognitive performance. HANDS-ON MODALITIES According to a recent telephone survey of some 2,000 randomly selected homes, about a third of adult Americans recall back or neck pain last year (see chapter 9 for a discussion of the dynamics of recall). Of these, a third participated only in complementary treatment acts." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"To prevent disturbances, the civic authorities, which controlled retail prices for pork, beef, and wine (though not for fish, a poor choice for hoarding) directed the one hundred public bakeries of Constantinople to provide two pounds of free bread to each of eighty thousand residents daily.1' The newly arrived provincial was likely to be more impressed by the capital's monuments than its bakeries. Following the Mese on its ruler-straight path upward through the hills of the city, the traveler would pass the artifacts that represented the final victory of Christianity over paganism." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"However, the bread crops never created abundance. Farmers ate beans and peas and made flour from buckwheat or chestnuts. Cattle were as important as cereal crops, for they provided meat and milk as well as manure. But the farmers were caught in a vicious circle, for they needed animals to draw plows and to fertilize the soil. Their beasts in turn required more grazing land at the expense of cultivated fields. A fourteenth-century almanac adjured the farmer to "multiply his livestock for it is this which will give the land the manure that produces rich harvests." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "The severe winters reduced many Highlanders to making bread from tree bark. The murder of Fung James I, while hunting near Perth in 1436, was a direct result of famine-related social disorder, an event that caused the capital to be moved to the fortress at Edinburgh. By 1500 European summers were about seven degrees Celsius cooler than they had been during the Medieval Warm Period. The growing season in England was shortened by about three weeks, and by as much as five by the seventeenth century. At the same time, the ground grew wetter." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Before the discovery of the Americas, European farmers depended primarily on cereals like barley, wheat, oats, and rye. bread and various porridges made from these grasses, like Scottish oatmeal, formed the staple diet of millions of peasants. Except for a few roots eaten as side dishes-carrots, parsnips, and turnips—they relied almost exclusively on cereals. Crops like barley and wheat, which grow on long stalks high above the ground, are vulnerable to strong winds, hail, and excessive rainfall. Birds and insects eat the ripening grain." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Think brown when you think of bread. Whole wheat (or other whole grain) bread should be the rule. • Eat potatoes and other vegetables with their skins. • Eat vegetables that have edible stems or stalks, such as broccoli. • Eat fruits that have edible seeds, such as raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. • Try brown rice, corn tortillas, bulgur wheat or whole wheat pasta. Whole grain doesn't have to mean bread or cereal. Susan Zarrow Are You Getting Enough Fiber?

"In the winter, thick vegetable soup and fresh bread makes a hearty, nutritional meal for the whole family. Mono-Diet The human body functions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Occasionally it needs to be given a rest. One of the most effective ways to give your body a holiday is with a three-day mono-diet. It puts the digestive organs into go-slow mode. The liver, gall bladder, stomach, pancreas and intestines work continuously and a mono-diet gives them time to regroup. Mono-diets are not suitable for children." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)
