The Blood Sugar Rollercoaster
Although the initial energy boost is tangible, a daily intake of white, highly processed bread can trigger a physiological tug-of-war. White bread ranks high on the Glycemic Index (GI), meaning it rapidly converts into simple sugars. This provokes a sharp spike in blood glucose, followed by a corresponding insulin surge. Over time, consuming refined bread daily without sufficient fiber or protein can result in “sugar crashes,” leaving you irritable, hungry, and mentally foggy just two hours after eating.
