The Truth About Sourdough | Not Healthier!

In this video, we’re going to break down the halo of sourdough. When people describe sourdough, they frequently talk about how good and healthy it is, but while sourdough's functional benefits for bread quality are confirmed, its benefits for health have yet to be clearly established in actual science. That's why, today, we're digging deep to find out how many of the claims about sourdough have solid evidence behind them, and what the science really says about sourdough. We'll be basing the video mainly on 2 review papers (see the references below), although there are many other papers mentioned as well. As a quick note, we want to say that this is definitely not meant to be a negative video about sourdough, but rather, it's a deeper look at the many claimed health benefits that can often mislead people into thinking that a sourdough bread is healthier than it really is. Because while sourdough does make better tasting bread that lasts longer, it doesn't necessarily make it the healthiest option available. Watch the video for more! References 1.
