The 10 Unhealthiest Breads on Grocery Shelves

Highly processed and made from refined white flour, white bread lacks the fiber and nutrients found in whole grains.

Wonder Bread:

Often associated with classic white bread, Wonder Bread and similar brands may contain added sugars and preservatives.

Sourdough Bread with Added Sugar:

While traditional sourdough can be a healthier option, some commercial varieties may contain added sugars, undermining its health benefits.

Potato Bread:

Despite its appealing taste and texture, potato bread can be high in calories and may lack the fiber content of whole grain bread.

Brioche:

Brioche is a rich, sweet bread made with butter and eggs, which can contribute to a higher calorie and saturated fat content.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread with Added Sugars:

While raisins add natural sweetness, some cinnamon raisin breads have additional sugars, potentially making them less healthy.

Dinner Rolls:

Often served during holidays or special occasions, traditional dinner rolls can be high in refined carbohydrates and lack fiber.

Gluten-Free White Bread:

Many commercially available gluten-free white breads are made with refined flours and starches.

Pre-Packaged Garlic Bread:

Pre-packaged garlic bread often contains high amounts of butter, oil, and additives, contributing to its calorie and saturated fat content.
