It’s often thought that whole wheat bread is the best bread for health, but this isn’t true. The average glycemic index for whole wheat bread is identical to that of white bread. Both spike blood sugar more than table sugar!
Whole wheat bread contains phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that binds with important minerals, blocking their absorption. Whole wheat bread contains inflammatory compounds and may also contain glyphosate.
This 5-ingredient healthy bread is low on the glycemic index, so it will not spike your blood sugar. It doesn’t contain anti-nutrients, inflammatory compounds, or glyphosate.
Here’s how to make healthy bread that’s simple and delicious:
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine the following ingredients:
1½ cups blanched almond flour
¼ cup psyllium husk powder
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp sea salt
4 organic eggs, separated
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Beat egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
• In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks with a tablespoon of melted butter.
• Combine egg yolk mixture with dry ingredients.
• Gently fold in whipped egg whites.
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Put the dough in a loaf pan and put it in the oven to bake.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Allow bread to cool completely before slicing.

| 0:00.0 | The healthiest bread in the world is not this. You're not going to be able to find out the grocery store. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm actually going to show you how to make it. I did a version of this video years ago, and I think |
| 0:09.5 | I got like 9 million views. This recipe is five ingredients, so much easier. You are going to love it. |
| 0:19.0 | And it's not hard to make. It's actually quite easy, but it's also the way |
| 0:22.1 | you put these ingredients together that gives it the X factor. I know I've been very guilty of telling you |
| 0:28.6 | what you can't eat. So in this video, I'm going to tell you what you can eat, okay? I just want to |
| 0:34.1 | cover a misconception about whole wheat bread versus white bread, and then I'm going to |
| 0:40.5 | dive right into the recipe. So many people have this idea that whole wheat bread is healthy for |
| 0:47.1 | them. This is not true at all. I'm going to go through this really quick, and then we're going to |
| 0:50.9 | dive right into the recipe. There was a meta-analysis of |
| 0:54.2 | 13 different studies. And they found the average glycemic index for whole wheat bread was identical |
| 1:02.5 | to white bread. That means both of these will spike the blood sugar exactly the same. I mean, |
| 1:09.8 | it's pretty wild because if you look at the glycemic index, |
| 1:12.9 | both of them are 71. Table sugar is 65, and whole wheat bread is higher than that. And I found in another |
| 1:22.1 | study comparing these two that certain types of whole wheat bread will spike your blood sugar |
| 1:27.0 | even more than white bread. |
| 1:28.8 | Now, I'm not recommending white bread. I'm just telling you that there's not a big difference |
| 1:33.9 | as far as your blood sugar. But there's more problems with whole wheat bread. It's anti-nutrients. |
| 1:40.4 | Okay, what does that mean? Well, when you consume whole bread, you get the fiber, the brand. |
| 1:45.7 | What's in the brand is something called phytic acid. Fidic acid binds with minerals like iron, zinc, |
| 1:54.4 | calcium, magnesium, blocking them from going into your body. So here you are thinking you're getting |
| 1:59.8 | this nutrient-dense product, |
