LONDON: People who eat more than two portions of white bread daily are at 40% increased risk of being obese compared with those with its low consumption, a research presented at the ongoing European Congress on Obesity has found.In this study, researchers aimed to evaluate relationship between white and whole grain bread, and weight change in Spain where white bread is a major part of the diet.
The researchers followed 9,267 Spanish university graduates for a mean period of five years. Dietary habits at baseline were assessed using a validated 136-item food frequency questionnaire. Average yearly weight change was evaluated according to categories of bread consumption.
They assessed the association between bread consumption and the incidence of obesity using modeling to adjust for variables that could influence the results.
The data showed total bread (white bread and whole-grain bread together) was not associated with higher weight gain.
By contrast, white bread consumption only was directly associated with a higher risk of becoming obese.
