I'm a big supporter of bread but not the kind most people buy. What I'd prefer to say is brown bread is less bad for you than white bread.
With white bread the wheat is ground up much more finely than brown causing more surface area. After vegetables, and fruits are picked (same with meats) they start to die and nutrients start to seep out into the air (the smell is part of this process). The more surface area on it i.e. the finer you cut it up, the more surfaces for bacteria to seep out, the less nutrients you're going to ingest. Another reason is they bleach flour to make it so white, bleach is a poison to us.
Draw backs of both white and even brown bread is first off it's made of wheat. wheat really isn't that good for us anymore. it's been so genetically modified throughout the ages to produce more plants and bigger grain output per plant that the wheat itself has just a fraction of the nutrients it did hundreds of years ago (it's kind of hard for me to explain genetic midifying in words but if you only focus on two traits like bigger and more grain for instance then there's a small chance that the one that works will also have the healthier nutrient gene too. Then if you do this houndreds of times over the years theres no chance in hell the final product is going to be very healthy). Then they process the wheat like you wouldn't believe to turn it into the product you see in the stores. there's many stages of this process including heating it up to extreme temperatures to remove any bacteria in it, this process also kills the good bacteria and most nutrient's. Also I've heard rumors that brown flour is bleached white then dyed brown to give it a consistent brown color (sounds legit, however I've never seen anything to back it up).
If you want a good bread to eat look for kinds that contain the most kamut or flax seed. i personally don't like the taste of flax seed however kamut bread tastes amazing. organic is better. kamut has an insane amount of nutrient in it and the more nutrients the more taste, so to put it bluntly kamut bread tastes amazing. another example of more nutrients is you'll find kamut bread is much much heaver than regular wheat bread. With regular wheat bread it takes around 6 or so Sandwiches to fill me up, however you'll find with kamut bread it only takes one or two sandwiches.

Is wheat bread bad for a diet?
You may mean to ask about "whole wheat bread" and a "weight reduction diet." However, no single food is "bad" for a diet. It is the amount of food eaten relative to the activity (calories burned) by the dieter that is significant.
Examples of foods that contain the three groups of biological compounds that are part of a balanced diet?
Turkey on wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, and Miracle Whip. Turkey = protein (amino and nucleic acids) Wheat bread = carbohydrates (long-chain glucose) Miracle Whip = lipids (saturated fat - be sparing on how much) Lettuce and tomato = carbohydrates (who wants just a plain sammich?)
Is white bread bad for you?
it's not like eating chocolate coverred in bacon or anything SERIOUSLY BAD like that, but it is just slightly higher in all the things you should limit. it was only about two months ago when i weighed about a stone more than what i weigh now, and i had enough of weighing what i weighed, so instead of just starving myself or going on a fad diet, i just changed my life style almost completely. and one of the foods i changed was: no more white bread! just the brown stuff! because white bread is slightly higher in fat,sugar,salt and it's about 40 more calories than brown bread. you're a lot better eating brown bread. :)

Could a sugar free diet fight cancer?
Fat free and sugar free and free of refined starches: in other words, a diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in processed foods is a healthful diet that helps prevent degenerative disease. Fruit contains sugar; grapes contain a lot of sugar, and they are one thing recommended in an anti-cancer diet -- including red wine. Red wine helps cut dietary fat also, which is why it is traditionally paired with cheese and red meat. Honey, raw sugar, date sugar, molasses (what is refined out of white sugar) are fine sources of sugar. A diet that you see recommended is high in dark leafy greens and fruit; unrefined flour, brown rice (whole grains). All the vitamins are in the skin of fruit and veges and the husk of grains, and colorful fruit and vegetables are best from farmers' markets, roadside stands, ethnic supermarkets, and health-food stores. Supermarket items are grown and chosen for uniformity and for longer seasons. Gnarlier looking veges and fruit have more time spent on the plant and are not picked before ripening, which increases their nutritional content. When eating a lot of fruit and vegetables, "organic" is best because you will not be exposed to chemical pesticides and because, in general, they are not picked early for shipping, as is big box produce. Blueberries, Blackberries, red grapes, broccoli (and spinach) are good bases for an anti-cancer diet; cut the fat; use olive oil on salads, sunflower or corn oil for cooking and baking. As far as a great whole grain bread, you cannot go wrong with Orowheat. Wheatberry was their oldest whole grain, and it is now Honey wheatberry, a good place to start if you don't like "wheat bread." The best bread is their Winter Wheat bread. It is deliciious in sandwiches and as toast (with Smart Balance -- or butter if you have low enough cholesterol and body fat; after age 40-50, we need to stop with the butter. Thank heaven Smart Balance is a delicious replacement -- I, who flatly refused to eat margarine as a child, even like Smart Balance better than butter now.) btw: if you read the nutritional contents of regular margarine and butter, butter is actually better for you than margarine. Smart Balance is a newer solution and the food people really did a good one with that.
How much more wheat is in brown bread compared to white bread?
Actually, it's not a matter of how much wheat is contained in the bread, it's the part of the wheat that is used. Whole-Grain bread uses just that, the whole grain, including the fiber-rich outer bran and the vitamin rich middle (the "germ"). The milling process for white flour removes these portions of the grain for ease of cooking and to make more attractive products (white bread can look pretty, right?). But in the process, nutrients such as vitamin E, iron, selenium, fiber, etc. are also removed. Therefore, while you do not receive any more wheat in the diet from eating Whole-Grain (brown) bread, you receive more nutrients.

Can you have whole wheat bread when im trying to lose belly fat i know there are a lot of sites that say its bad for you but wheat is impossible for me to avoid.?
Any food can be part of a weight-loss program, as long as you control your portions and your overall calorie intake. If there's no medical reason for you to limit your carbohydrates or your wheat consumption, 100% whole wheat bread can definitely be a healthy part of your diet. The fiber in the bread will help you feel "full" while eating a smaller amount of food, and the bread will provide various nutrients your body needs. If you, personally, feel better physically or have an easier time sticking to a weight-loss plan if you avoid bread, then go ahead and eliminate it from your diet, but there's no reason why everyone should automatically do so. Of course, if your doctor has recommended you avoid bread in general or whole wheat bread specifically, you should follow his or her instructions.

Wheat-free Diet?
For many people, a wheat-free diet is a necessity, due to a wheat allergy or celiac disease. For others, however, eliminating wheat from the diet is an empowering tool for better health and weight loss. Gluten-free diets have become extremely popular, and, as the popularity of wheat-free eating has expanded, so have the options for wheat-free foods. Consumers can now find gluten-free cupcakes, crackers, bread, cereal, doughnuts, and other carbohydrate-rich foods. A useful thing for wheat-free dieters to remember, however, is that gluten-free food is not necessarily healthy food. When following a wheat-free diet, one should opt to replace wheat with unprocessed whole grains or vegetables.
