I always remember as kid when I would eat toast I would eat the inside but never the crust, and my parents always told me I had to because that’s the only healthy part, is that true?
In: Chemistry
It’s up in the air. The crust is just the outer, more cooked surface of the bread, and the extra browning produces more of an antioxidant that prevents cancer, but the same chemical reaction also produces a carcinogen, so it might be a zero-sum game. Either way the difference isn’t significant and they were probably just trying to get you not to waste food.
