excuse my ignorance, but i wonder if anyone out there can set my mind at
ease.  i hate to admit it, but yes, i eat cheap white bread.  i get it
at 29 cents a loaf at my local grocer.  while i do like some of the whole
wheat stuff, i cannot justify spending 2-3 times as much of my hard-
earned, limited student money on a pound of whole wheat.  so tell me-
am i doing my body great harm by eating that cheap white stuff?  i mean,
i eat plenty of raw vegetables- carrots, celery, spinach (with the stalks),
lettuce of all varieties, etc., so i think im getting my fair share of
roughage.  so whats the big deal?  im constantly getting advice from people
that the bread i eat is all a bunch of garbage.  does anybody have some
info theyd be willing to divulge?  or is this whole wheat kick my friends
seem to be on just the result of some media induced paranoia- i.e., white
bread being the scapegoat for all of America's national nutritional
problems.  does anybody have something from a reliable source (not aunt
martha)?  i would certainly be interested to know.  thanks in advance.
