Is toasting bread bad?

[PoeY]

I've heard that is does something wierd to the carbs? Is this true? Is it ok to toast my bread? a Peanut butter sandwich toasted is just soo much better than it non toasted!! Also if i go to subway and get the roasted chicken double the meat, i always get it toasted. Should I not?

research Acrylamide then come back and tell us if you think toasting bread is good or not

based on this: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...ght=Acrylamide


Some guys say worry about it,

some don't.


So toasting toast brings out the Acrylamide???

It's not for a long time, again, your opinions would be awesome!

Honestly i see nothing wrong with it. I'm not freak enough to worry about toasting bread having negative side effects.

I don't think it is "brought out"

It is a compound that is formed during the chemical process of burning/toasting some foods

is "freak" the latest slang word for "informed" these days?

I can't keep up with all the new lingo the kids are using these days.

also toastin bread produces a compound call benzo(a)pyrene that can actually alter your dna if consumed in large amount but that carcinogen is actually in well done meats also. But I would say toasting is fine, but dont burn its where its black. A good rule of thumb is that heating anything changes its structure and properties somewhat, so the less heat the better.
