They look fresh and they smell so good and I had the nerve to look at the ingredients... You would think a simple bread should not require TONS of ingredients !! Then , the SHOCK... Please see for yourself.
I was able to read few ingredients and the majority I thought to myself "am I reading a chemistry book or just the ingredients in the bread my kids and my husband are about to eat?"
The few ingredients I researched are:
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP:
Why do we need high fructose corn syrup in bread? This stuff is used in candy and processed sweets. High Fructose Corn Syrup is cheaper than sugar so now it's being used in mostly everything that is processed for the "taste" !! It's contributing to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many more. Don't forget the GMO ( genetically modified organism) in the corn. This syrup is not found in nature and it is not derived from a non gmo plant; therefore, it cannot be consumed by human beings who were designed to eat what comes from nature without being heated, processed or whatever done to it.
ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE:
This is a chemical , in medicine used as an antacid and industrially used as the basis of adhesives, binders and cements. So because you put corn syrup in the bread and other ingredients I couldn't read, you figured I would get a heartburn or indigestion so AHA we will put the antacid in there so they don't feel it!!! Really now? Are you serious?
It is used as the basis for cement...."Our body is a temple" NOT a construction site. We really don't need stuff that is used in cement .... oh I guess it helps with the baking huh???
AZODICARBONAMIDE:
This is the stuff that Subway used in their bread until they were called on it and now they removed it. Subway even advertises that they don't use it anymore. So if it is good for us, why didn't Subway continue using it in their bread? If it's good for us, why is it banned in Europe and Australia?
This is the stuff used in the production of foamed plastics as a blowing agent. So is this bread for humans or for things? I am really starting to wonder now!!!This ingredient ( I really should not be calling it ingredient), this substance has been identified as the cause of asthma , respiratory illnesses and allergies. Just ask how many kids or adults you know have asthma and allergies nowadays?? PLENTY!!!
I am not a baker, I am just a concerned mother who cannot see these substances being put in bread...the food that lots of people eat daily! So I looked up another brand just for comparison.
This is what this company has on their website :
Ingredients
Organic Whole Grain Wheat Flour, Organic Wheat Flour, Water, Organic Evaporated Cane Syrup, Organic Honey, Organic Cracked Wheat, Organic Soy Oil, Organic Flaxseed, Organic Cultured Wheat Flour, Organic Vinegar, Sea Salt, Yeast, Wheat EnzymesContains: Wheat, Soy
Manufactured in a facility that handles wheat, milk, eggs, soy and tree nuts.
We do not use GMOs in our products. No artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no artificial preservatives.
The ingredients can all be read by humans ! We don't need a dictionary or Wikipedia to look up flaxseed or wheat flour.
Now of course the rolls from Sam's are way less expensive than the 6 dinner rolls found in the Alpine Valley brand; however, just ask yourself do I want to eat chemicals or bread?
Even better make your own bread, if you don't know the recipe google or YouTube one. If you don't have time like myself to bake bread, just read the ingredients and choose wisely.
One person can make a difference because our kids and our bodies deserve better. So please make a difference in your life .
I totally wish Sam's club and all the other big companies would remove all these substances from their bread ... let's get back to the basics !
