Rye bread is better if you are watching your sugar
... consuming rye bread results in a better insulin response compared with consuming refined wheat bread.
Just a reminder that when it comes to improving health and warding off disease, its the sugar we have to be aware of. Bread does have a glycemic index to be conscious of but so do carrots and bananas.
