The president of the Mediterranean Diet Foundation and the Spanish Academy of Nutrition, Luis Serra, said today at the launch of a study carried out jointly with Dr. Inmaculada Bautista Castaño, entitled Influence of the consumption of bread in the weight status: a review systematic, scientific studies conducted over the past 30 years show that the bread does not contribute to overweight or obesity.
As reported by the organization of the “daily bread” in a statement, the study revealed that bread is one of the most important food diet based on the Mediterranean Diet. However, there is the false belief that the bread is related to weight gain, although it contains little fat and that provides essential nutrients for health.
This aspect is analyzed in the study “Effect of consumption of bread in the weight status: a systematic review” conducted by Dr. Inmaculada Bautista and Dr. Lluis Serra Majem, both from the Nutrition Research Group at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Serra explained today during the presentation of the study in Toledo, “there is no scientific basis for excluding or reducing the bread of ordinary food, or thin people or those who are overweight or obese.”
Through a rigorous systematic review, the authors have carried out an analysis of articles and publications that have examined the relationship between the consumption of bread and the weight of individuals.
The aim was to provide scientific data to demonstrate that the bread has no direct relationship with obesity and overweight, so as to reduce the large number of people removed the bread from your diet to try to lose weight.
The results of the study have shown that a diet rich in bread, especially in the case of integral, stimulates weight loss, waist circumference or BMI (Body Mass Index), or has no influence on these variables.
Therefore, stresses the importance of both bread and cereals are part of the staple diet of the population, both healthy and overweight, as they play an important role to ensure health.
The negative results obtained in the intake of white bread, says Dr. Serra Majem, “are not statistically significant because they have found only 1 in 10 articles. Keep in mind also that in these cases have been influenced by other factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle or consumption of other foods that do favor increased adiposity, “says the author.
“What if it is really important and conclusive is that 90 percent of the studies found either no relationship or the consumption of bread has a beneficial role in relation to obesity,” added Professor Serra.
Finally, the intake of bread on weight loss diets was analyzed in five intervention studies. All of them found that incorporating this food into the diet is associated with a decrease in weight or no influence on it, confirming the results obtained in previous research.
EVERY DAY PAN CAMPAIGN
The development of the study ‘Influence of the consumption of bread in the weight status: a systematic review “is one of the initiatives under the campaign in bread every day, a move promoted by virtually every sector of the Spanish bread, through the inter- INCERHPAN, and aims to halt and reverse the decline in bread consumption detected in recent years.
One of the most important objectives of the campaign is to encourage scientific research to promote and / or strengthen the existing evidence on the consumption of bread and benefits in nutrition and health of the population, within the framework of our Mediterranean diet.
From bread every day are claimed health benefits and nutritional properties of a product that has accompanied the man throughout history, and remember that bread is a staple in our diet and an important source of carbohydrates carbon fiber, B vitamins and minerals.

It is believed that a person is obese when their BMI (weight in kilos between heights in centimeters squared) is equal to or greater than 30.
The case of the metabolic syndrome, a combination of several risk factors in an individual, is in some way, another paradox, but the human body: “We have a thrifty nature and amounts of fat can accumulate for times of scarcity, but today in the West we’ve overcome them.” Therefore, Bravo is waiting to hear how the economic crisis will affect the data of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
