Any way you slice it, white bread isn’t a good choice.  When Italian scientists studied the diet records of 2,300 people, they concluded that eating more than four slices of white bread a day doubles your risk of developing kidney cancer.  The reason: White bread, like other refined grains, has a high glycemic index.  That means it raises blood sugar and insulin levels, which may spur the growth of cancer cells.  Consider this yet another reason to curb your carb intake, as well as to make sure the bread you do eat is made with 100% whole grains!
