Are you confused about bread? Wondering if you should jump on the low-carbohydrate bandwagon and eat your burger without the bun?

4. “Whole wheat" breads and "wheat" breads are equally nutritious.

5. Multigrain breads are healthier than white breads.

6. If you can squeeze a loaf of bread together easily or it melts in your mouth, it's probably not a good choice?
