Hi, we have a problem at the moment to get our child to eat any bread other
than white bread.

he will however, eat ' the best of both' type. which says it is white with
all the goodness of wholemeal. is this really true? that this white type
of bread does contain the goodness of wholemeal? thanks for any advice.

Its not just bread, it's all the other refined starch with no fibre, ie
pasta, polished rice etc.
making inroads on the bread front would be worth doing, especially since he
eats masses of the stuff. Since i am in london U.K. would anyone know
what makes of bread sold here is manufactured from 'white' wheat. Because i
dont know whether the so called 'best of both' is actually made from white
wheat or just some clever marketing alternative.
