In today's Sunday Times... regarding bread:
More fat in three slices of bread than in one chocolate bar...
Just a brief summary:
Research by the above mentioned newspaper shows:
Marks and Sparks Organic Wholemeal Bloomer and Warburton's seeded batch as having the highest fat levels: 3 slices of each contained 12 g and 12.3g respectively. A standard Mars bar (62.5g) contains 10.9 of fat.
Most of the fat comes from added vegetable fat and oil to keep the bread moist.(Not from the seeds and wheatgerm as one may have thought!)
Sliced white bread, usually regarded as the less healthy option, contained less fat.
Makes me want to buy my own bread "baking" machine... have fresh bread every day!! Without all the fat!
