I agree. most commercial "whole wheat bread" isn't bread at all but a hodgepodge of vitamins adding nutrition to highly processed flour along with preservatives for shelf life. Remove the nutrients by processing, then add them to the finished product, just like "fortified" cereal.
Baking bread at home is the only way to avoid this, unless you want to pay more for commercial "organic" bakery bread, and not all bakeries avoid preservatives and dough conditioners.
Good bread contains flour, water, yeast, and salt. If you want to splurge, add a tablespoon of sugar and two tablespoons of butter for two loaves of white bread. And there's always brioche and puff pastry if you want to gild the lily.
It's so good it will rarely sit long enough to get moldy.
Bread making is a really fascinating and challenging hobby. I recommend it highly.
A big corporation doesn't make all the bread loaves, and you can make it yourself at home.
Can't promote that.
