White bread normally doesn't have more fiber, unless artificial fiber is added before the bread is baked. Whole wheat bread is more nutritious because the flour isn't bleached and all of the wheat germ is still left in. If the brand of white bread says it has more fiber, they are using fiber from an artificial source. In the 1980's, a brand of "high-fiber" bread actually used saw-dust to add fiber to their product They were forced to take their product off of the market.
