Despite this, dietary fiber, which is essential for the health of the digestive system, heart and blood vessels, cannot be replaced, and vitamin supplements are not as good as the vitamins that the body naturally obtains from food sources, which the human body can absorb better. ^[7]

• Contains simple carbohydrates: white bread contains large quantities of simple carbohydrates, which the body quickly breaks down, which causes a rise in energy, compared to whole grains that contain complex carbohydrates, as the body takes longer to process and destroy them, which gives a feeling of satiety for a longer period . ^[9]
