In this insightful episode, Dr. Debbie Ozment, DDS, MS, welcomes Sue Becker, a food scientist and advocate for real, whole-grain bread, to uncover the truth about modern bread and why it may be harming your health.
Sue explains how commercial bread—especially white bread—is made from refined flour stripped of essential nutrients, fiber, and healthy oils. Even “whole grain” bread from stores often contains processed flour with added bran and germ, along with preservatives and additives. This lack of real nutrition contributes to health issues, from nutrient deficiencies to unstable blood sugar levels.
But there’s good news! Sue reveals the powerful benefits of healthy bread made from freshly milled whole grains. Packed with essential nutrients, real bread can improve overall health, aid in weight management, and help stabilize blood sugar. She shares inspiring stories from her own family and her ministry work in Haiti, where access to nutritious bread has changed lives.
As the founder of Bread Beckers, Sue provides grain mills, whole grains, and resources to help people make their own healthy bread at home. She also emphasizes the importance of using the proper equipment and shares practical tips from her cookbooks.
Tune in to discover how switching to genuine whole-grain bread can transform your health and well-being!
