Would a whole grain bagel be bad for you?

Most bagels are made with enriched flour which is basically the equivalent of eating sugar. The human body begins turning enriched flour into sugar as soon as it comes into contact with saliva. The process of producing enriched flour removes the dietary fiber which has great dietary benefits. Eating any food made with enriched flour (e.g. white bread, English muffins, donuts) rather than whole grains is like eating "empty calories." The body converts this to sugar which can then be stored as fat. It is important to check the ingredients when purchasing any bread product such as bagels to ensure they are made from 100% whole grains NOT flour.

It is rare to find whole grain bagels in traditional grocery stores because most Americans prefer the flavor of flour bagels. If you cannot find whole grain bagels at your local grocer, search for a local health food store such as Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. They are much more likely to carry healthy alternatives.
