Talking about bread
I learned something this week which proves you are never too old. It concerns bread, 7 grain, 9 grain, & 12 grain. Someone I know was told by his Doctor he needed to eat the 9 grain bread. Why not the 7 or 12? I appreciate why it is called but can anyone tell me the difference in the health benefits. I never heard of this in the UK.

I have always been led to believe that when using phrases like '9 grain' it is a cover up for the fact that they are not whole grain.
