I just need a basic because my brother and I are arguing. He thinks they are the exact same besides color.

    Well white bread is white and the flour has been bleached. Wheat is brown and it is its natural color. Better for you.

    Wheat bread is made of wheat and white bread is made from flour. Wheat is healthier for you. White bread turns to sugar inside your body whichs then turns to fat.

    White bread is made from wheat, refined wheat that is. There is whole wheat (bread). Do you mean wheat bread?

    wheat bread is made with whole wheat flour…. which has not been bleached in a chemical bleaching process and is more full of fiber- which in turn makes it better for you.
    white bread has been processed so much that you might as well be eating a piece of cardboard. the processing of flour to make it white includes bleaching it with chlorine- the same stuff that will peel the skin off your hands if you touch it undiluted and will burn your mucus membranes (the insides of your nose and mouth and eyes) if you are around the gases unprotected. this is why white flour will explode and whole wheat will not.
    which one do YOU want to eat??

    White bread is bread made from wheat flour from which the bran and germ have been removed, in contrast to whole wheat bread made from whole wheat flour, in which these parts are retained and contribute a brownish color. In addition, this white flour is generally bleached using potassium bromate or chlorine dioxide gas to remove any slight yellow color and make its baking properties more predictable.
    The development of white bread was a response to the adaptation of the grocery business to modern commerce. Bleaching gives white flour a far longer shelf life than whole wheat flour, and bread made from it likewise has a longer shelf life. This allows it to survive the storage and long transit periods inherent in the modern world of commerce.
    White bread is often criticised for being less nutritious than many other breads. Most of the vitamins inherent in wheat are removed along with the germ or destroyed in the bleaching process. In the United States, by law, white flour must be enriched with the addition of vitamins which replace most of the major vitamins removed by bleaching – though critics claim that valuable trace minerals removed by bleaching are not replaced in the enrichment process. Counter-arguments to this claim note that the amount of trace minerals in bread is minuscule to begin with and their supply is easily substituted by other common dietary constituents such as fruits and vegetables. In addition, most commercial white bread contains little dietary fiber when compared to bread which includes bran. A diet low in fiber is linked in some instances to cases of both constipation and diarrhea.
    White bread is also criticized for being too easily digested by the human body, resulting in more drastic rising and falling of blood sugar and insulin levels than what results from eating slower-digesting whole grain breads. Blood sugar and insulin regulation provided by whole grains may prevent Type 2 diabetes.[1]
    American bakers have attempted to respond to these criticisms with some modifications to their basic recipies and with the proliferation of a group of “specialty” bread products; many of these are essentially white bread with a few additives. Most commercial “whole-wheat” or “brown” bread produced in the U.S. is primarily composed of bleached white flour with the addition of enough brown flour to be brown in appearance. Bolted or “unbleached” flour has about 20% of its natural bran.

    white uses bleached flour, wheat has (usually) wheat bits in it, and yes there is a color difference but the wheat bread is healthier too

    Well I heard that white bread is white, and unhealthy, and wheat bread is healthy, helps you loose weight, less fatting, and most likely…brown.
