Bread Science

Toast

I am a retired scientist and love good food, good cooking and find the science behind them quite fascinating.  Long story short, I was having "stomach" issues a few years ago, and working with a doctor and dietician I did an elimination diet and when i added bread back in bingo all my issues came back.  Seems I may have developed some sensitivity to something in bread, gluten, wheat, or whatever.  After reading Michael Pollan's "Cooked" I began to really understand why many people are having "issues" with today's bread.
