I read in a Weekly magazine that comes with the newspaper that the healthiest breads are (in order) 1: Pumpernickel 2: Sourdough 3: Rye 4: Wheat
Don't know how reliable that is but is interesting as I have been eating just whole grains and thought that was the best..

Low GLTraditional pumpernickel is made with coarsely ground rye flour (and perhaps some wheat flour) and is fermented with sourdough starter. The acetic acid from the starter and the soluble fibre in rye keep the glycemic load (GL) of the bread low-much lower than that of white or even whole wheat bread. (Glycemic load is the measurement of how much carbohydrate you are consuming.) Aids DigestionOne Canadian study found that pumpernickel bread had four to eight times as much resistant starch as breads made with wheat or barley. Resistant starch benefits blood sugar because it doesn't digest easily. Like dietary fibre, it travels right past the stomach and small intestine and settles in the colon, where it's broken down by bacteria and eventually expelled."Hope this helps!
