White bread could spoil your diet

Eating too much white bread could expand your waistline, US research shows.
People who ate whole grain foods, such as brown bread, did not have the same gain in waist size, the scientists at Tufts University in Boston found.

This might be because whole grain foods are higher in fibre which give a feeling of fullness so you eat less, say Professor Katherine Tucker's team.
