Any way you slice it, white bread isn't a good choice. A new Italian study concluded that eating more than four slices of white bread a day doubles your risk of developing kidney cancer. The reason: "White bread, like other refined grains, has a high glycemic index," says study author Francesca Bravi, ScD. "That means it raises blood sugar and insulin levels, which may spur the growth of cancer cells." Consider this yet another to curb your carb intake, as well as to make sure the bread you do eat is made with 100 percent whole grains.
