No, it doesn’t mean you are dumb if you eat brown bread.
Introducing: Brown bread
Most of us in Russia know how the black bread taste like and smell like. Indeed, it is Russia’s smell. My first ever Russian teacher who stayed in Malaysia showed us this black dark small hard brick of bread and told everybody in the class to smell it. She said, THAT is the smell of Russia.
When I came here. It is indeed the smell of Russia. LOL. I don’t know why but it is significant and the smell reminds me of what my teacher said from time to time.
So, what’s the difference? The white and dark bread.
White bread is made from wheat flour with the wheat bran and germ removed. The bran and germ contains a lot of minerals even healthy fat and oil. With them removed, the flour basically has little nutritional value that most people would need to add it man-made vitamins and minerals into the bread making process.
The sayings is very correct. Nature provides, we destroy, and then we add them back via a man made form.
After the removal of the bran and germ, the flour will be bleached with potassium bromate, benzoyl peroxide and chlorine dioxide gas. Just by looking at the name and you know that they are not mean for good natural life.
Wherelse the brown bread is processed straight away without the removal of the germ and barn, giving them more nutritional value and more ‘natural’.
The taste is somehow hard for first timers but you can try by switching to light rye bread which is more subtle in taste, before changing the whole diet into true wholemeal bread. Enjoy!

Sometimes the bread is brown doesn’t mean they are made from brown floor. Look at the ingredient of the bread. If it writes enriched or wheat flour, it means that it is actually white bread with colorings like caramel.

Now you see it, now you don’t. Inside my stomach.
