Modern bread is highly refined, it is ground, bleached, seperated and
re-constituted nutrient-deficient crap. Even the "whole wheat" bread is
overly processed. Not to mention the fact that the grain and/or the
flour could have been in storage for months and months, when the water
soluble nutrients degrade over a matter of a few weeks.

In order to get all the nutrition from the grain, first it should be
fresh, then it should be soaked or fermented and then low-temperature
ground and baked as soon as possible.

White flour is, by definition, inherently nutrient deficient. And whole
grain flour is just white flour with some of the "fiber", that was
initially removed, mixed back in.

Grains make good food for birds and animals with four stomachs but it
really isn't all that useful as human food.

Bread, white, commercially prepared (includes soft bread crumbs)
