Yeah, true. I don't buy this "all grains are bad for you" advice that the Paleo-diet crowd has been advocating. The abundance of enriched flour in a lot of foods has sadly given grains a bad name.
That's not really true either. I've seen wheat bread with more fiber than some multi grain breads. It's all about the fiber content. Check and compare lables folks. Make sure if the lable is going by 1 slice or 2 slices and do the math for urself.
You don't have to be a nutritionist to do research. This is good commen sense. Just because grains are "multi" doesn't mean they are whole necessarily. It's deceptive marketing. Read to lables and look for the highest fiber content whether it's multigrain OR wheat. Sheesh!
Half/half is a good way to go. Some people just don't like the taste or texture of whole grains. Those products you showed with concentrations of both make a good compromise.
... then try the whole wheat blend pastas (Barilla Plus is a good one). It's a great option ... half white/half wheat and some flax seed mixed in for heart healthy omega-3 fats.
OR you could just skip the grains, much healthier!

actually, whole wheat bread is not much better than white bread. If you really want to go healthy, go for the whole grain bread.

What's with you and fibre, geez? There's more to whole grain than fibre. And I said nothing about multigrain bread, I said wholegrain bread.

Go argue with someone else about a loaf of bread.

I don't want to argue, all I was doing was stating a opinion/fact. My bad if it came out wrong, but no one reads between the lines anymore.

Which is why Obama wants to take our money, he can't control corporations.
