Sandwiches are dirt cheap, filling, nutritious, and quick to make and clean up. Sure, they aren't delightful, which is sad, but that's not the barrier to nutrition.

Wow, standards of delight have come up a lot in this country. I've probably had more delightful sandwiches than not

They can easily be bad for you if you use any kind of appealing (white) bread.

So this is what I had always assumed as well, but the science is less clear:

The research done concluded that differences in Gut Microbiome meant that "The glycemic response to the two types of bread varies greatly across people".

More food for thought (Pun intended :p )

Switching from rye to white bread is a whole lot less bad for you than switching from water to soda. At some level we have to make a decision about what an acceptable level of "bad for you" is and I think white vs wheat is way below that line.
