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.
