Oroweat introduces bread free of sugar, trans fats
Most packaged commercial whole-wheat breads have between 120 and 160 calories for a 2-slice serving, but it should be noted that the slices are generally a bit thicker (about 60 grams per 2-slice serving). Most list multiple forms of sweetener (high-fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses, white sugar, raisin juice) fairly high up in the ingredient list. Most have a similar fat (1-3 grams per 2-slice serving) and fiber content to Oroweat SugarFree but may contain saturated and trans fats. Read labels and compare.
