Have you recently read the ingredients in your English Muffin? Many of the name brands have high fructose corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners, like sucralose. Now, a big advantage to those English Muffins are that they have a long shelf life- you can keep them in a bread basket for at least a week. But, you may be getting many things in the ingredient list that you really do not need. I highly recommend Matthew's All Natural Multi Grain English Muffins. |

Having trouble in the bread aisle? With so many choices it is hard to know which kind to get. Here are some tips to get you through the bread aisle faster:
Buy 100% whole wheat bread. The first ingredient should be whole wheat or stoneground whole wheat. You definitely want the word WHOLE in it. Make sure eachslicehas at least 3 g of fiber. Read the serving size to see how much fiber PER SLICE. Sometimes they can trick you and state 3 g fiber per 2 slices which only amounts to 1 1/2 g fiber per slice. |
