Whole wheat is good , but make sure you get the correct form of whole wheat when you go out to buy it rather its bread , cereal, etc etc. whole wheat Enriched bread is refined, processed , and not good at all . The phony processed side of whole wheat bread are those. A label of refined take out the nutrients and are white flouur, white rice, and degermed cornflour. Also,another key ingrediant to look for and avoid is bleached or unbleached. Sometimes, a bread loaf will say whole wheat this or that on the front label , a customer will think its all wheat and forget to look on the back of the bread.
Go for the realness
Always,look at the ingrediants as it should say whole wheat or 100% in the beginning of the list .

Yet, if you cant go complete dark, try half and half on bread. Whole grain white bread. Also, Barilla, has a spaghetti out with that for people who cant or just wont because they are finicky, but want to be sorta healthy.wonder and most store brands have thaf bread thats whole grain white bread.its better then 100% white flour. Im saying this as a last resort.Its not as super duper healthy, but has some benefits and good for people who just cant give up that spongy white cake bread or in your pasta , least your getting some benefits. I have gone competely to dark side and no coming back lol as ive seen a big difference in myself and will be in better shape later in life as I get older.
I've even discovered organic sprouted bread such as , Ezekial , which can have major shelf life and can be left in the fridge or freezer if you notice they put it in the freezer section too. I've freezed my breads and saved money in the process . Also, theres gluten free products that are natural for people,who cant tolerate wheat, grains,etc. It's all individual's needs and you can be healthy however your diet is long as you choose the correct food.
Remeber you are what you eat and your outer and inward will show.
To health and its good to be good to the super grains.
