We’re a nation of white bread lovers.

A new survey shows 82% of Irish people enjoy the taste of white bread but more than a third don’t eat it because they think it’s bad for them.

A quarter believe white bread is ‘too fattening’ and 21% say it makes them feel bloated.

That’s despite on-going scientific research findings which shows that white bread is a low-fat food and doesn’t cause bloating.

It also contributes to a person’s daily requirements of vitamins, minerals and fibre.
