A childhood belief about dangerous food

When I was a child I wasn't allowed white bread, only brown bread. My mum was always going on about white bread being full of sugar and that I wouldn't grow properly if I continuously ate "rubbish like that." At the time, I took that to mean that if you ate white bread you'd never grow, at all, and that you'd be a child for the rest of your life; stay small for ever.
