Two Slices Of Buttered Toast A Day Doubles Diabetes Risk, Study Suggests

Well if i type diabetes into Google news it comes out at the top of the page! Nevermind!
 
I'll take my chances if I become diabetic because of the occasional slice of buttered toast so be it.

I never eat white bread any more, the bread I do have has 9.5 g carbs per slice and 51 calories.
 
The article shows 2 people injecting Insulin, it would appear to be rather sensationised, also my elderly dad has been eating toast for decades, he is 94 and non diabetic. That's the media for you and that's why I never buy newspapers :rolleyes:
 
Trash newspapers posting trash. Quelle suprise! No need to have images of type ones in articles meant to describe type two diabetes. Also it is misleading. Toast is not the problem. Clearly they are trying to make an argument against butter. As for the daily calorie intake ....most people eating two pieces of toast and butter will take in 200-250 calories on that. If that is all they have for breakfast it is on par if not less than many other breakfasts so .....

it is also quite a big part of ones daily calories , when taken into concern that most people do need less than 2000 calories a day... and then knowing how few nutrients vitamins and minerals of importance there is left in than kind of food..

well there is vitamin d in the butter, but I doubt any vitamin B has survived in the white toastbread being extremely refined

How is it a big part of one's calories? Most slices of bread don't go over 100 calories per slice so say you are 200 calories on bread and 65 on butter so the 9g the article says. So we're at 265. That is actually far lower than what many other so called 'healthy' breakfasts come in it. Sure it may not keep someone as full as long but that also assumes the person will eat when hungry. Many just deal with feeling hungry until lunch or they have a snack at 'tea time' that is around the 50-70 calorie mark. That still leaves a huge number of calories for the rest of the day. Some care about nutrients and some don't. If they do they still have time to make it all up. To another point...while these rags use images of white toast, the toast is not mentioned as a proper entity and someone could still use any sort of bread in their morning routine which may or may not provide nutrients.
 
Maybe they need to eat their morning bread in a more Dutch style to avoid the risk. Instead of toasting and buttering, just load it up with chocolate sprinkles!

Or maybe not :D
 
Remember - the world is awash with many variations of "Alternative Facts" and often most will only believe what other's will want us to believe anyway. The earth is flat by the way.
 
Before I was diagnosed I was soo hungry I could and did eat 3 pies ,day,and HALF A LOAF of white bread a night.So no wonder
 
When young I used to have sugar sandwiches as a treat horrifies me to think of it now. Though sometimes did add lettuce.
 
oh maybe if I keep eating toast in the morning ill get type 2 too. Sorry couldn't help it.

I have heard that McDonalds grow their salats in sugar-water the last days before harvesting so maybe you were in front there combining white bread salat and sugar ..;)
