StellarTiggy said:Bread is an overprocessed carbohydrate that will cause an inevitable insulin spike in your body. ANPB is pure fat. The insulin spike will cause your fat cells to absorb the fat from the peanut butter and become larger, no conversion needed.
Cardinal234 said:Actually, even whole wheat bread is about 70 GI. Secondly, the difference between monounsaturated fats and saturated fats has nothing to do with how likely they are to be used for energy...the difference is their effect on cholesterol.
StellarTiggy said:Told.Whole wheat bread -IS- a 70 GI. Wheat bread is higher. Bread is a processed carbohydrate, there is no argument about that. It's not complex at all, especially if it's made with white/wheat flour. Commercially prepared breads contain an immense amount of additives including corn syrup/high fructose corn syrup with at least 15 - 18grams carbs in each slice. They also contain trans fats unless otherwise stated, and most of the "nontrans fat" breads are full of it. Marketing scams are very common (i.e. low carb bread). The insulin spike will be there...I can assure you.
Just as Cardinal stated, monosaturated/satured has nothing to do with it. When insulin is spiked, fat cells begin to absorb. Whatever happens to be around that environment will get sucked in and cause fat cells to expand in size. Healthy fats may be utilized as fats are for a certain period of time, and benefit the body to a small extent, but will be stored if not burnt off with exercise in a short period of time.
StellarTiggy said:Most real breads are made overseas, that's obvious.
Bran bread is least processed. It is composed of wheat bran, wheat gluten, soybean oil, and sea salt...I think. It's 70 cals, 11g carbs and 6g fiber. Sold here in the U.S. usually in healthfood stores or gnc. They also make flax bread which has the same fiber count/carb count and is made using flaxseeds. I use to buy it when I craved sandwiches. Most real breads are made overseas, that's obvious. Bran bread is about the healthiest bread you can get your hands on in the U.S. Even sprouted grain breads don't measure up to the benefits of bran/flax...they may be sprouted, they may form a complete protein, but they don't make ya poop all that tuna...
