    Consumer Reports had a product review of bread sometime in the past twelve
months.  As I recall, they found white breads to be cheaper and more nutritious
than wheat bread.  I think the artical indicated(implied) that bran in 
whole wheat bread tends to tie up some of the nutritional value (vitamins
and minerals) somehow.  It is probably worth looking up the article as it
compared many brands of bread including white and whole wheat amoung other
types.  They also included a home-made white bread (with recipe) in their
sample.  The later did well on all counts; cost, nutrition, and taste.
