Lol get over yourself. The bread is maybe 1-2g sugar per slice, cake is like 15g
Just to make it clear. Industrial made bread for example in Germany also contains sugar. A typical (american style) toast bread has half the amount of sugar though.
So, yes, although bread traditional needs no sugar, we Europeans still consume sugar when eating industrial made bread.
I would not consider industrial-made bread to be healthy in the first place, though.
Genuinely my gut reaction to this post was that if it's packaged in plastic, it's not going to be healthy.
I'm with you. But this kind of bread (I would say 90% of bread sold in supermarkets) is what is consumed the most.
So, though we put less sugar into our preprocessed food, than they do in the US for example, we shouldn't laugh too loud about consumerists of the US.
Then why is sugar listed as the third ingredient? You do realise the ingredients are listed from the most to the least contained in the product. If sugar is 1-2g, then your slice of bread must weigh no more than 10 grams, LOL
Edit: I looked up your "Dave’s Killer Bread (21 Whole Grains)" and it has 3 to 5 grams of added sugar per slice! Yeah, that's a cake.
Funny how it's marketed as healthy in the USA. Like I said you are conditioned to eat garbage, and you believe the lies they tell you.
Enjoy getting diabetes from your "healthy bread". Gotta support that "health system" somehow, otherwise it would be very unprofitable to have a healthy population.
The bread in my pantry is sara lee whole wheat, 1g sugar/26g slice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
From memory, a typical grocery store whitebread is 2g for a similar size slice
For future reference
