    I don't think so. What is your source?

    I made bread just a few hours ago without a gram sugar added. It did
    rise nicely. And made from mostly coarse rye flour.

    But the yeast need some NaCl.

    Did you mean to say that glucose is the worst form of sugar to consume
    because it enters the blood stream the most quickly and causes the most
    insulin shock.

    Data from rat experiment shows that it is the fructose that induce the
    insuline resistance, not glucose.

    Most fructose is though metabolized in liver to build fatty acids, but
    it is doubtfully that this happens to 100% efficiency.

    Unfortunately, the experiment done on rat models are not ethically
    correct to do in humans. We are not living under a Nazi regime which
    would have used diabetics for such lethal experiments. (They did other
    cruel experiments to diabetics anyway, also before 2. world war, along
    with experiments with psychic ill persons and other with chronic and
    inborne diseases)

    I wouldn't give up on Subway quite so quick. However, their
    whole-wheat bread does NOT qualify as whole wheat because whole-wheat
    is listed as the 2nd ingredient. If you want to cut back on total fat
    consumption, Subway is a good choice.

    Whole-wheat bread often mean that if you look careful, you will find
    one piece of wheat bran in the bread.
    But, mostly not.

    Even over here, today the "Kneip bread" is so full of sifted wheat
    flour that it should be declared as "loff med 1% frøagner"

    How about Subway's 'Honey Oat Bread' (ingredients below)? How would you
    compare it to their wheat? Would love to hear from everyone. I live in a
    small town and don't have a lot of options on eating out. I'm trying to do
    the best I can with what I have to work with. Thanks.

    HONEY OAT BREAD Subway® Wheat Bread, honey oat topping (organic cane juice
    solids, rolled oats, diced soy nuts, honey solids, wheat starch, sunflower
    oil, salt, caramel color, and natural flavor). Contains soy and wheat.

    This THREAD clearly indicates who the Kooks on smn are.

    If I had to choose between eating at McDonalds, Wendy's, Hardee's,
    Burger King, or Subway; I would have no trouble whatsoever choosing
    Subway. Personally, I like Subway's Honey Oat Bread.

    Captain D's usually offer a broiled fish menu. I bet these Kooks would
    attack Captain D's menu for using enrich wheat in their bread and
    serving broiled fish with white rice. It is fastfood people!!! It is
    reality. Now, learn to live with it.

    I eat at Subway a lot, usually a veggie on wheat bread. My brother was told
    to cut down on bread and sugar because of triglicerydes. I've always told
    him that wheat bread was good for you but I'm beginning to wonder. The
    ingredients for the wheat bread from Subway is below. I usually eat a 6"
    for lunch then 2 to 4 slices at supper of whole wheat bread (sugar free).
    Am I eating too much bread? And is the subway bread any good? I was reading
    a few days ago that whole grains were as good for you as veggies. Thanks.

    WHEAT BREAD Enriched flour (flour, malted barley flour, niacin, iron,
    thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, whole wheat flour,
    high
    fructose corn syrup, wheat gluten, contains less than 2% of the following:
    wheat bran, yeast, salt, soybean oil, dough conditioner (acetylated
    tartaric
    acid esters of mono-and diglycerides, ammonium sulfate, calcium sulfate,
    ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, potassium iodate, amylase (enzymes)],
    cracked wheat, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, caramel color (contains
    sulfites), dried honey preparation (honey powder, invert sugar, wheat
    starch, soy bran flour, silicon dioxide [anti-caking]), mineral oil.
    Contains soy and wheat.

    Did you grind your own barley or did you buy it already ground?

    You don't need a sub. Eat one of their salads with a chicken breast
    added. And go for the full fat salad dressing.

    I eat my grocery store salads sans dressing. I simply add fruit to the
    salad when available.

    I found the following comment at
    http://www.mrsci.com/Nutrition/Fructose.php :
    "Fructose is often recommended for, and consumed by, people with
    diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia, because it has a very low Glycemic
    Index (GI 32) relative to cane sugar (sucrose). The low GI is due to
    the unique and lengthy metabolic pathway of fructose, which involves
    phosphorylation and a multi-step enzymatic process in the liver."

    But GI has turned out to be a useless concept in terms of predicting
    metabolic responses in individuals.

    Fructose is very efficient in inducing diabetes in rats, and fructose
    intolerance grows along with glucose intolerance, according to at least
    one study I read years ago.

    I read that *excess* fructose is as bad as *excess* sucrose, because:
    1. excess fructose makes your liver secrete more triglycerides, and
    2. it does not satisfy your "hunger for sugar" as sucrose.

    Searching for articles, I get the impression that some of the rats
    tested are inclined to get diabetes, but the action of the fructose is
    to create greater uric acid which when that mechanism is disabled the
    diabetes doesn't occur.

    Skimming some of the other articles, I have the impression that
    fructose isn't a good sugar substitute because of its effect on cardiac
    risk.

    The most common form of high-fructose corn syrup is HFS-55 which is 55%
    fructose and 45% glucose which isn't much different than sucrose which
    digests to a 50% ratio.

    And "wheat bread" may only have a little whole wheat. You need whole
    wheat or 100 percent whole wheat.

    Very difficult to make bread from completely whole wheat. You need to
    either ground them or add other more or less grounded seeds.
    But, it is possible with steaming the dough for 24 hours or so on low
    heat and high pressurse like whole rye seeds in pumpernickel in
    Germany (in US it is faked)

    Ermm. I have before me as I write this a loaf
    of "Sprouted 100% Whole Grain Bread" from
    "Food for Life". It is available from both my
    local Health Food Store and my local Supermarket.

    Here are the ingredients:
    Organic Sprouted Wheat,
    Organic Sprouted Barley,
    Organic Sprouted Millet,
    Organic Malted Barley,
    Organic Sprouted Lentils,
    Organic Sprouted Soybeans,
    Organic Sprouted Spelt,
    Filtered Water,
    Fresh Yeast,
    Sea Salt

    Thus, the bread is flourless.
    It has a low glycemic index.

    It has a low calorie density for dry food:
    80 calories per 34 grams (that's one slice).
    Each slice has four grams of protein.
    My wife uses it in her Tofu Loaf, and
    I like in soup.

    I never eat grains as such. I always sprout
    them or buy them sprouted as in this bread.

    Hm. I did write rye :-) Not barley :-) Barley is more difficult to use
    for dough, but my mother did make some barley bread, with sifted
    barley flour. But, that is not any better than white loaf :-(

    For rye bread I use a ready made mixture which I buy in the shops,
    called Møllerens Dansk Rugbrød. I use 8 dl luke warm water instead of
    6 dl and add some whole oat flakes and rough rye flour and let it be
    rather thin dough and then add some sifted wheat flour until it barely
    cling to the pestle in my kitchen aid machine (Kenwood Chef from
    1964!) and let it go for 10 minute, then transfer to two baking tins
    for bread and let the dough leaven for around 1 hour or so, maybe some
    more until it has risen up to the top or more of the tin and bake them
    at 190 deg C in a hot air oven for about 1 hour. Yummy.

    But, not a proof that the whole grains can be used directly to form a
    bread. You have them sprouted and then they let crush and form a
    "dough" that might be possibly leavened (but I believe this rather
    form an unrisened dough, maybe making something like flat breads.)

    To be considered an ad for selling even more fructose. Fructose is far
    more dangerous than laymen believe. That ad is ment for laymen.

    Will be too expensive to take an airplane to US just for getting that.
    Not available over here, at least never seen it in any shops here.

    Prefer rye breads.

    Since you are using a mix perhaps you could tell us what ingredients are in the
    mix. You previously stated that you added no sugar but I suspect there is some
    sugar in the mix. If it contains sprouted grains of any kind, it would contain
    sugar from the grains which is produced by the sprouting/malting process.
