  Graham Bread Recipes - LoveToKnow Recipes
Graham bread was the brainchild of Sylvester Graham, a Presbyterian minister in Pennsylvania who was known for his strict adherence to vegetarianism and healthy living.
Graham was deeply bothered by the number of extramarital affairs and out-of-wedlock pregnancies in his society and he believed that a diet full of impurities like bleached flour also led to impurities of the body.
Graham bread is no longer believed to be an anti-aphrodisiac but is instead enjoyed for its taste and health benefits.

 Treatise on Bread, and Bread Making
Even the bread, which is the simplest form into which human ingenuity tortures the flour of wheat, is, by other causes besides the concentration I have named, too frequently rendered the instrument of disease and death, rather than the means of life and health, to those that eat it.
Their mode of manufacturing bread to say the least of it, destroys much of the virtue of the flour or meal; and hence their bread is only palatable even to those who are accustomed to it, within twelve, or at the longest, twenty four hours after it is baked.
And when they perceive how intimately and closely the character of their bread is connected with the dearest interests of man, they will not be inclined to feel that any reasonable amount of care and labor is too much to be given to secure precisely the right kind of bread.

 Graham on Bread
As a general criterion or rule, then, in regard to the character of bread, we perceive that the most perfect loaf or raised bread, is that which, being made of the best material, is light, and sweet, and well baked, and still most nearly retains all the natural proportions and properties of the original material.
The very appearance of such bread is forbidding, and shows, at a glance, that it has not been properly mixed—that the yeast has acted unequally on different portions of the meal, and that the fermentation has not been of the right kind.
They that will have good bread, not only for a single time, but uniformly, must make the quality of their bread of sufficient importance, in their estimation and feelings, to secure the requisite attention to the means by which alone such an end can be made certain.
