Continued From Page 2 when used in a high-fiber diet, is an OK nutritional choice. "White bread is not bad for you," said Ruth Carpenter, asso ciate director of the Cooper Insti tute. The institute's study was ac cepted for presentation to the American Dietetic Association's annual conference starting today and Continental couldn't be prouder. The baking company scheduled an opening day rally outside the Washington Conven tion Center where the dietitians were meeting. Banners proclaiming "We knead white bread," "White bread is the right bread" and "Thumbs up for white bread" were prepared to wave alongside the colorful balloons that have been the Wonder trademark for decades. Comedian Elayne Boosler was booked to speak to the crowd. "The reason we are doing the rally is because white bread gets knocked so much," said Lisa Wolford, spokeswoman for Con tinental, which introduced the first sliced bread in 1930. Carpenter said the idea for the bread study was her own and she connected with Continental when she was looking for money. "We wanted to look at increas ing people's carbohydrate in take," she said. Because there is a belief that bread is fattening, she conducted the study to find out if eating different amounts and types of bread — regular or low- calorie — would affect nutrient intake levels, body weight and body composition.
