[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bread doesn't need any sugar!
Sure, some bread recipes call for sugar, but plenty of breads do not need any sugar at all.
I bake baguettes that have no sugar at all.[/quote]

Yes, but even if you put 1 flat tbsp (15 g) of sugar per 400 g of flour it does not make any significant difference.

Because

400 g of flour = 304 grams of simple carbohydrates.

15 g of sugar = 15 grams of simple carbohydrates.

So I am adding only 15 g to 304 g of carbs.

And if I eat one slice of bread per day I will only consume 2 grams of added sugar.

Pople who want to lose weight need to realise that calories and carbs are what really matters, not 2 grams of added sugar. [b]Again, see American Diabetes Association.[/b]

They’re still pushing the same low fat, keep eating carbs nonsense as ever. https://www.diabetesfoodhub.org/articles/what-is-the-diabetes-plate-method.html#:~:text=The%20Diabetes%20Plate%20Method%20is,you%20need%20is%20a%20plate! (This link came from the American Diabetes Association website). Granted, they recommend whole carbohydrates, but if people are having trouble with their sugars, the advice shouldn’t be “keep eating the things that spike blood sugar at every meal and certainly don’t add fat to blunt it.” [/quote]
