Named the main danger of bread that harms health

In Ireland, a court found that the American chain of fast food restaurants Subway uses bread with an excessive amount of sugar, which can be harmful to health.

Due to a large amount of sugar, buns fell into the category of confectionery. According to Irish legislation, the amount of sugar in bread “should not exceed 2% of the weight of flour included in the dough”. But Subway bread has five times more sugar.

We note that according to the World Health Organization, you can consume no more than 10% of sugar from the daily caloric intake. At the same time, the WHO gave recommendations to reduce this amount to 5%, which is approximately 25 grams.

Doctors explained that this amount of sugar increases the risk of heart diseases. In addition, excess sugar leads to the development of diabetes and weight gain.

Subway is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants. The main products sold are sandwiches and salads.
