Oh, be aware that the bakery section of Woolies or Coles do not bake "fresh bread" from scratch. You may find a better alternative from Baker's Delight. They seem to put less soy and additives into their bread. This is from a Master Baker I know over here who worked at both Coles and Woolies bakeries.
So, you are thirty? I really wouldn't get too hung up about food mate. For me (like yourself) I have always been conscious of the link to good food and good health. As many others have argued, it really depends on the individual and what works best for them. What IS clear is that excessive amounts of anything will and can have detrimental affects to your overall long term health. Even being excessively underweight. What is not clear is any link to being over 45 and putting on weight for no real reason, or conversely being over 70 and losing weight for no apparent reason; dietary habits and exercise remaining the same.
