NO.
And there is no way to be sure that it is whole grain. By law--at least it was this way as of 2 years ago--there need only be a pinch of 'whole grain' stuff in the bread for a manufacturer/baker to be able to legally label it as whole grain bread.

Most european type breads are very good for you. White bread is not. Wheat bread is better, but not when you eat too much of it. Find a mediteranian type bakery and try some of the dark breads. They are good for you.

Fresh home made bread is very good for you. Mass produced bread has much of the good oils taken out to stop it from going mouldy and hard quickly. However, it's still not bad. Carbs aren't bad for us, despite what the diet freaks say.

Well, being as how every single society and civilization dating back to the cavemen have been eating bread of some kind for thousands and thousands of years, it can't be all that bad for you.

The daily recommended servings for breads and cereals is 8-12 servings, I believe. (However, one piece of bread = 1 serving! Also, a typical bowl of cereal = 2 servings!) Whole wheat breads and grains are better for you than the white breads that we Americans like, however.
The USDA has a website that tells you how much servings of each food group you should have--it personalizes a plan for you. http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx

If it's whole grain (and not made with high fructose corn syrup)...not whole wheat, whole wheat bread is not good for you, it's very similar to white. White bread is like eating a candy bar...loads of sugar!

For some reason or other, white bread is not actually very healthy.
PS. A lot of thumbs-downers tonight!

Sure, whole grains are an important part of a healthy and complete diet. Not to mention that it's the largest 'step' of the food pyramid!
