Multigrain bread Question

[Harmless711]

I got multigrain bread instead of 100% whole wheat bread by mistake at my local supermarket . My question is are they almost the same low in GI? Or should I give it alway the multi bread and go by WW bread later today.
Thanks

Whole grain bread isn't low GI in the first place. Actually, according to most sources, it's higher than white bread.

I am saying with 100% honesty, no sarcasm/jokes involved. I am serious.

that makes no sense at all
from my reading white bread was the highest of the gi scale just short of glucose it self

I've seen a few sites that actually list WW bread higher than white, something like 77 vs. 70. I'll see if I can dig them up.

I'm surprised people on here thought whole wheat/whole grain bread was "low GI."


Lucky for them, GI is relatively useless.

Ah don't sweat it. Unless you're consuming only one single food item, and you're in a fasted state, GI matters much, much less than people think.

Haha, I'm looking in the New Glucose Revolution book I have right now.

Whole-Wheat Wheat flour bread

Whole Wheat flour (Canada) GI - 52
Whole Wheat flour (USA) GI - 73

Uh.......

Buckwheat Bread (Sweden) GI - 47

It seems other countries use more wheat germ or something that obviously makes their GI lower....it's all over this book.

The bread I eat has about 7 different types of grain in it from rye to spelt to whole wheat. It doesn't seem to have a listing in here....I wonder how it stacks up.

[HUGE_I_AM]

weird did not know that... assumed multigrain bread to be on par with whole wheat bread...

which would be best for toast/sandwiches? im assuming its not a big deal b/c i will eat it with lots of protein... so just get the one i like better?
