So, from time to time I eat a whole grain bread imported from Germany sold here as Fitness bread, sunflower bread, in slices that are about 3 inches x 8 inches in size, and pretty dark brown - you see the grains, and you feel them - you need to chew!

Alot of LC Breads aren't as heavy on the Soy as they used to be. Alot of folks are beginning to use Wheat Protein and Wheat Gluten more often. Plus, Light Breads are typically made with Regular Flour, Fiber/Bran, and Wheat Protein/Gluten. Here's the ingredients from a few LC Grains:
Sara Lee Delightfull White Bread: Water, Enriched White Flour, Cottonseed Fiber, Wheat Gluten, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Wheat Protein Isolate, Corn Starch, Yeast, Salt, Calacium Propionate, Yeast Nutrients, Natural Flavor, Dough Conditioners, Soybean Oil, Sucralose (Splenda), Guar Gum
Nature's Own Wheat 'N Fiber Bread: Water, Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Protein, Wheat Gluten, Soy Flour, Corn Starch, Yeast, Soy Fiber, Soybean Oil, Wheat Bran, Salt, Dough Conditioners, Cultured Whey, Vinegar, Monocalcium Phosphate, Yeast Food
LaTortilla Garlic & Herb: Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Oat Fiber, Soy Flour, Cold Pressed Canola Oil and/or Safflower Oil, Garlic, Spices, Baking Powder, Salt, Yeast, Xanathan Gum, Guar Gum, Citric Acid, Sorbic Acid, Calcium Propionate
