It’s not unhealthy. But believe whatever pseudoscience makes you feel nice.

Pseudo-science, seriously? Tell me then, what about bread qualifies it as a health food? It's mostly glucose polysaccharides that are rapidly digested by your body into plain old glucose. Yes, there is also some amount of protein and fibre, but not in remarkable quantities. Not to mention the non-trivial amounts of phytic acid in wheat germ which can impair bodily absorption of iron, zinc and calcium.[0]

"healthy" is a spectrum. Everything isn't either healthy or unhealthy and what's healthy depends on the rest of your diet.
