Last night, I randomly looked up is stale bread beneficial and was shocked by the results. I realized no one had mentioned this before, so I wanted to share the information


Digestion

The starch molecules in fresh bread are more moist and sticky, which can cause bloating and gas in the stomach. As bread dries out (goes stale), the starch structure changes, making it easier to digest. Stale bread is generally more palatable, especially for those with sensitive stomachs



Low Glycemic Index
As bread sits, the starch inside begins to transform into resistant starch. This means the body breaks down this starch more slowly. Blood sugar doesn't spike suddenly like it does with fresh bread. It provides a longer lasting feeling of fullness
For lazy people:


If reading the scientific paper seems too long, Dr. Mandell has summarized the topic in a great video. The video uses visuals to explain how freezing, thawing, or toasting bread can lower the glycemic index by more than 31% and protect gut health




Probiotic Effect
Resistant starch passes undigested in the small intestine and becomes a food source for beneficial bacteria there. In other words, it acts as a prebiotic, supporting gut health



ATTENTION!
Stale bread is beneficial, but moldy bread should never be consumed. Mold produces mycotoxins that take root in the bread and can lead to poisoning. Bread is only safe if it is dry and hardened

n*****s jus tryna convince us to eat stale bread
 
PubMed: The impact of freezing and toasting on the glycaemic response of white bread
Literally talking about frozen bread, doesn't not mention stale bread once
 
The numbers on these papers are negligible, may I just add. In fact it doesn't really go into many specifics at all.

I didn't read a single word of pearexs thread but people told me ur pseudointellectual so ion kno who to believe
 
Rejecting scientific papers and facts just makes you look ignorant. Don't do that to yourself
I literally just said the papers are faulty where am I "rejecting them" just admit you dnr them you fucking idiot
 
what about baguette
Same rules apply to baguettes. Since they are starch heavy, freezing and toasting them creates resistant starch, making them much better for your blood sugar
