  • In this blood sugar test Dennis Pollock and his wife Benedicta test the blood sugar-spiking properties of Ezekiel Bread as compared with white bread. Nearly everyone agrees that whole-grain bread is healthier for you than white bread. But what about their tendency to raise glucose levels? Is there that much of an advantage of whole wheat bread over white bread. In this video the mystery will be revealed.

    Amen sir, I have been on Keto for almost 2 years, lost over 100 lbs, go to the gym 6 days a week and have toned up. Doctor states I am no longer type 2 diabetic, my cholesterol levels are perfect. Diabetes is reversible, you just have to kick the sugar and carb habit. Nice video!

    I did some math and the difference is still pretty impressive if you ask me. I took the starting level (pre-meal) minus the 2 hour level: His wife was only up by 12 with the EZ bread vs up by 19 with the white bread. The Husband was up 27 with the EZ bread vs UP BY 55 with the White bread at the 2 hour mark. Seems that EZ bread is a much better choice. Not to mention it has fiber and it keeps you full longer!

    What you have determined about 'spikes' may be true, however, I believe the true benefit of eating the Ezekiel bread over the white bread is that after consumption the ingredients used for
    the Ezekiel bread is in better harmony with your body's healthy maintenance and is not as harmful for most, as many of the ingredients used in the majority of white breads. Ingredients such as: fillers, food colorings, sugars, emulsifiers, corn sweeteners, various gmo's, preservatives and etc.). Look at the ingredients listed and notice, very little that is listed there is found naturally in nature. These poisons can be added more cheaply than giving you the quality from using naturally healthier ingredients. In this sense of better maintenance, I would say, you only get what you are willing to pay for. I favor the Ezekiel bread.

And as stated there are nutrients you are going to get with the Ezekiel bread verses the nutrient depleted white bread that are not part of your test.
    I appreciate the testing as far as giving us an idea as to what we can expect from the foods you eat as far as initial blood sugar spikes. However there is more to foods than there BLOOD sugar reactions as far as there health benefits.

    The Ezekiel Bread actually weighs more per slice because it's denser, 34 grams per slice versus 28 for the Trader Joe's White Bread. It would be interesting to see if the results would change at all if you weighed both breads on the food scale to make them exactly the same, and then measured the results based on that. Something I would be interested in seeing for future videos.

      Using Blue Bassett’s figures above, by my calculation the white bread is only 82% of the weight of the Ezekiel bread though, so could the almost 20% more portion have been considered in how much it spiked your blood sugar? Seems to me the white bread spiked your blood sugar 20% more than the Ezekiel bread and kept it elevated at two hours much more than 20%. Ezekiel bread is much tastier than white bread in my opinion if it is toasted. Given the option I will always choose Ezekiel bread over white bread but then again, I always toast it.

      @WatchingMyLifeFlashB Před 5 lety +1

      @@MrKaycleans4uThe Ezekiel Bread brand used in this video is not made with milled flour, but rather made from sprouted grains, so don't use the mill until after you've sprouted them into baby plants then dried them then milled them. The prophet Ezekiel did not do the sprouting thing, though. It is Food for Life's personified take on the scripture. So, if your mill the grain itself, you will be mimicking the prophet, not the product these folks are eating.
      The sprouting then drying thing is the same as in the producing of barley malt. Barley is sprouted, dried, milled then the powder is used in pretzels, bagels, & other foods for their very distinctive flavors.

    I've got a lot to learn about blood sugar and all (I will soon since I have family history of diabetes and related issues).

    @SonalsFood Před 5 lety +11

    Thanks for doing this. But, I think that 30 points is a significant difference, since the more insulin resistant you are, the more this difference will be. Also white bread will be lighter and less nutritious and will not satiate you and in the real life situation you will land up eating more food to fill yourself up, which will spike your sugar depending on what foods you add. So looking at one food in isolation and one quality of the food will not give the real picture.

    Firstly, thanks for sharing this experiment with us. I like white bread a lot more than Ezekiel Bread or any of the other less processed breads. However, there's so much more to the story than just glycemic response. Ezekiel Bread has no ultra-processed seed oils in it. These types of oils cause inflammation that leads to serious diseases. Also, his blood sugar was between 148-156 for an hour and a half with the white bread, while 123-149 with the Ezekiel Bread. It appears Ezekiel Bread would be the better choice in the long run. Regardless, for me, it's best to stay away from all grains.
