Salt in Bread...

I'm so pleased I'm on Atkins! lol ... I haven't eaten bread for 4 months...

BBC News - Campaigners warn over salt levels in bread

 

[tazbabe]

heard that on the radio yesterday morning, had the same thought as you!

 

[Ruby31]

Is that all types of bread?

 

[StephenP]

Only eat burgen bread one slice a day

What was interesting about the coverage was that apparently Tescos white, cheapo bread is the lowest in salt and Cranks really expensive highly nutritious seeded bread was the highest - higher than a bag of crisps!! bizarre!

That's good to know, wanted to know that for my boys.

When I ate bread, I used to go to a baker down the road who made bread without salt for me - could hardly tell the difference!

It is frightening how much salt there is in things, you realise this quickly on Atkins when you become a label detective .

Bread has a lot of sugar in it too. It's best avoided, sugar, salt and all!
