Substituted kefir for yogurt, worked just as well.

Going through menopause and struggling with weight and blood sugar at the same time. Found this three months ago and it has genuinely helped. I sleep better too which I did not expect at all.

Age 70. A1C dropped from 8.1 to 6.9 in four months. Changed my bread and this was a big part of it.

Had colon surgery last year. This bread is one of the few things my gut handles without trouble.

My blood sugar has gone down since eating this instead of regular bread. My doctor noticed at the last checkup and asked what I had changed.
