Answer 1

Rye bread is very similar to normal bread made from wheat flour, except some or all of the wheat flour is replaced with rye flour. Here's some info on the nutrition of Rye:

This site also has lots of good info on the different types of flours:

Whole wheat vs white bread isn't that big of a difference. When wheat is milled, the different parts of the wheat are separated. In whole wheat bread, some of the wheat germ and some bran is put back in. It gives a little fiber and a bit of vitamins, but the difference really isn't that big.

Answer 2

White bread is not good for you. It is just white flour, where wheat bread is better for you, if you watch which one you buy. Look on the side to see how much whole wheat is used, and the fiber content.
