Topic Reading-Vol.3826-10/2/2022

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What is the healthiest bread?
In the United States, 36.5% of adults are obese and another 32.5% are overweight. Combined, more than two-thirds of adults in the US are overweight or obese. Obesity is linked to more than 60 chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Also, around 17% of American children aged two to 19 are obese, which represents over 12.7 million American children. This is a serious problem as overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults. The reason for such high obesity/overweight rate is simple. Americans are eating more calories than ever before. Contradictorily, while eating a lot, many Americans want to reduce weight by cutting carbohydrate intake like bread. But is bread so bad for your health? Around the world, bread is not only a staple food but also a symbol of well-being and traditions in most cultures. So, is there any good or bad bread for your health or well-being? How can you balance your diet and well-being?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how Americans think of bread.
