The healthiness of leavened versus unleavened bread depends on individual dietary needs and preferences. Leavened bread, which contains yeast, can be lighter and easier to digest for some people, while unleavened bread is often denser and may be higher in fiber. Additionally, unleavened bread typically has fewer ingredients and can be a good option for those avoiding additives. Ultimately, the choice should be based on personal health goals and nutritional requirements.
Food historians are of the opinion that leavened bread originated in Egypt, probably less than a millennium before the pyramids were built. Egyptian culture was the first to produce leavened bread, and leavened bread was a symbol of Egyptian culture. This did not mean that unleavened bread disappeared from the Egyptian diet (when Jews - or others - said, "On all nights we eat leavened and unleavened bread," they meant what they said), but leavened bread was preferred. The recognition that leavened bread first emerged in Egypt is essential for understanding the place of bread - leavened and unleavened - on Pesach, as is our understanding that leavened bread did not displace unleavened bread from the diet. The hurried departure of the Israelites from Egypt, described in the Book of Exodus in the Bible, prevented their bread being leavened as usual; the Jews today commemorate this event by eating unleavened bread on special occasions
Fermented bread contains yeast. During anaerobic respiration, the yeast produces CO2 as a byproduct of fermentation; the CO2 makes the bread rise. Without yeast, there is no fermentation- no CO2 is produced, and the bread does not rise.
they had unleavened bread and wine (which was more like our grape juice than wine now)
No. It's a personal preference.
The main differences between Catholic and Orthodox sacraments lie in the understanding of the role of the Pope, the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist, and the number of sacraments recognized. The Catholic Church recognizes the Pope as the head of the Church, uses unleavened bread in the Eucharist, and acknowledges seven sacraments. In contrast, the Orthodox Church does not recognize the Pope's authority, uses leavened bread in the Eucharist, and recognizes more than seven sacraments.

Simple answer: in most cases, yes, bread is healthier than jelly. Complicated answer: it depends on what you're after. If you have responsibly-produced jelly and highly-processed white bread, chances are the jelly is healthier. Similarly, if you need fiber, whole-meal bread is going to be "healthier" than jelly. It all comes down to making smart choices and being moderate in your consumption. It is perfectly fine to have bread and jelly. Eaten in moderation with a balanced lifestyle, there is nothing inherently unhealthy with one, the other, or both.
