Humans have been eating bread and other wheat products for a long time. There are lots of things that may be in bread that may not agree with various individuals. People with gluten issues should actively avoid bread.
A lot of bread contains bread improver that is based in Soy that may not agree with some people. Some bread has preservatives and various other additives these again may affect individuals.
What is healthy food?
This probably depends on the individual, their medical issues and beliefs. Bread is healthy and integral part of the diet so of course bread is good for health. Now it depends on which specific bread you are referring to and how much quantity and frequency of consumption.
If you are referring to English bread-like Britannia and harvest gold type, then it is less healthy than roti as primarily it is made from maida. ( refined floor) thus fiber content is less as compared to roti. But still, it does not possess any health risk as it is consumed in mild quantity. If you replace roti with bread, then your fiber intake goes down and you have to supplement your diet with more fiber intake like including salads and fruits.
Remember that a diet is to be balanced by including carbs, fat, vitamins, minerals, proteins, roughage and water. You have to have all these components in a balanced way as per required dietary allowance which can be determined by your dietitian after discussing your lifestyle eating habits and body weight/age etc.
Commercial Bread
Most commercial types of bread contain sugar or high fructose corn syrup, just like other processed foods.
Sugar causes many adverse effects and eating processed foods that contain it is likely to have detrimental effects on health. Most grains also include the “anti nutrient” phytic acid.
Phytic acid is a molecule that strongly binds essential minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc, preventing them from being absorbed. Soaking grains before baking can degrade the phytic acid, which should improve the availability of minerals. It has been known for a long time that white bread and refined grains, in general, aren’t particularly nutritious.
Nutritionists and dietitians all around the world have encouraged us to eat whole grains instead. Many respected health professionals now claim that bread and other sources of gluten grains are unnecessary at best and potentially harmful.
