Wow, I do freeze my bread and take out and toast what I am going to use and leave the rest in the freezer. I don't eat bread daily though. My uncle told me this a long time ago and he said toasted bread is easier on the stomach, he was the supervisor over nutrition at the hospital he worked in, he is now is 92 years old and in good health. He still drives and does gardening.
Good to know, thanks
@deltr0tt Sounds good, I like the Ezekiel bread the best.
That’s awesome!!
May God bless him.
Do you know how he takes care of his teeth and gums? What vitamins does he take?
Thank you
@@debonisasarab5567 He still has his own teeth. I'll ask him and get back to you.
Congratulations Joyce!!! My father is 90 but got the Jab due to my evil sister so up until this jab he was very well and driving but now is begining to not remember how to get places. Things he has done forever like playing cards he now suddenly forgets how to play them which has all came on SUDDENLY so IDK I wish he'd of listened to me. Most all of my family took the Jab so I'm sad. 😭
😣🙏❤️
I told my wife she's nuts for freezing bread and clogging up the freezer. Now you've proven her right. Thanks a lot!

Clogging?
Wife is always right! 🤷🏻♀️

I've been diagnosed with diabetes in my late 60's. I freeze my Mello brown seeded loaf, I always toasted straight from freezer and has helped me tremendously. Only read this tonight. Thanks Dr Mandel for confirming. 👍👏
Go Keto and diabetes will peel off. Do lots of workouts too.
@@mjremy2605😅88😅
Then stop eating bread and other refined carbs.
@@mjremy2605 Don't listen to idiots with fad theories, especially if you are diabetic or gluten intolerant! But workouts yes. Any kind of exercise is always beneficial for everyone, again, especially for diabetics.
I started doing this because of the price and saving on gas to the store. I actually feel a lot better after about two weeks of doing this without ever seeing this video. This is very good news.
I am a pastry chef, and I learned in school the reason for this: certain starches (especially wheat, potatoes, and rice) go through a structural change called "retrogradation" when cooled, which makes them more rigid (rg also causes staling). Cooling changes the starch molecule's structure, making it "indigestible" or "resistant". This means our bodies cannot break them down as easily, thus they do not contribute to the glycemic spike nearly as much. I'm guessing the Maillard Effect (browning) that happens in the toaster also contributes to them becoming resistant, thus increasing the resistance quotient. Interestingly, retrogradation can be reversed in potatoes and wheat, but not in rice.
That's for this great info, I do this a lot bc I can't eat a loaf of bread in a week so I put it in freezer so it doesn't go mouldy but especially in hot conditions
Very interesting. How can you reverse the retrogradation of potatoes and wheat? Inquiring minds an all..
Great ! Dr. Mandell made some claims, which are awesome, but didn't bother explaining WHY. It's great to give general info in the video, but for me personally quite annoying to not go that extra step and try to explain why. It makes the claim a lot more logical, even belivable also. And especially when explanation is so simple, it would take 20s of the video.Thank you.
@@gorazdrucna3627 💯 Lisa’s detailed explanation makes credible freeze/toasting benefit vs. "I read it on the internet" or "I’m a stable genius" (or any such grand self-proclamation).
@@gr8dvd The frozen bread "only" spiked the glucose to 179mml/l 200 is considered diabetic. If you are a healthy person, great, but if you pre/type 1 or 2 diabetic this kind of crap video can get you into trouble. He's a quack.
I been freezing bread since the 1980s mainly because I am single and buy 2 to 3 loafs at a time so I don't have to go to the store all the time to buy a loaf of bread. This way the bread stays fresh rather than sit at room temperature and get dried out.. Watching this video I have a Better reason to freeze bread. Thanks 👍😊👏
Read the label. Real bread contains only flour and water & is made not with yeast, but with a Starter made only from flour and water. Numerous videos abound as to the method. Also sold at artisan bakeries.
Same for me. I freeze bread so it lasts longer, but now I feel even better Abt it lol
@@stephanied4863 👍🙂
ME TOO BUT NOT EV TIME
WILL DO NOW ALWAYS THO. THX
I toast mine straight from freezer
I store my sourdough bread in the freezer and toast it as needed slice by slice. I'm so happy to learn that's a more health beneficial method.
I actually found this out through trial and error…found that by freezing and toasting that my stomach felt so much better. …thought it was my weird digestion system…so cool to find out it’s a fact and not my weird feeling ! So brilliant, thank you so much for this video and information!. ❤️

I've been freezing my bread for years, just because it kept it fresher, longer. But I had NO IDEA that it actually lowered the glycemic index. Thanks for posting this information!!
Dumb question but does it stay lower on the glycemic index after it's warmed back up?
Same here.
Thank You Dr. Mandel👨⚕️),
😊👍🏻...
wow,Dr. Mandel,thanks so much for the vital inform. what about if the bread is over its date of expiry? can we still keep on freezing it?
@@km3470 . Thanks and true.....so what's the answer? 🤔😂
I'm a diabetic and have tested this several times. It really works!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
You may stop identifying as diabetic then, just learn how to eat right (as a human being, not as a diabetic) - been there, done that and it continues to be the most empowering and gratifying experience of my life (helping yourself in a positive way)
@@alexanderkovalyov5211 Eating bad did not cause my diabetes. I'm a LADA, caused by heredity. I've almost never been overweight and my BMI is excellent. This little trick with bread allows me to eat some bread without spiking my glucose dramatically.
How long do you freeze the bread? Do you freeze it for a day then let it thaw and use as needed or thaw what you need at that time? In other words do you need to keep it frozen?
@@ConcernedCitizen627 I keep my low carb bread in the freezer all the time and only remove slices as I use them. I toast the bread or I microwave it for a few seconds to thaw it.
I always freeze and refrigerate my breads, cakes, pastries and other baked goods. Especially during warmer months and whenever I have excessive amounts.
I do this in order to prevent it from molding. But it’s nice to know that it’s making these foods a little more healthier too.
Wow! I been freezing bread for our entire marriage - 34 years, just for keeping it fresh. Never thought it changed it, making it healthier.
I'm 55 and I remember my mom having a little dieting book that said that toasting the bread helps you lose weight. I always thought that it was the most ridiculous thing but I learned something new today!
lol😊awesome
My mom told me the same thing! Sorry I laughed at you, Mom!❤
@@claudettetooley Always remember what your mom told you!
@@bobboscarato1313 yes, moms r always right. But I did not take some of her observations seriously since they were not backed with necessary scientific research. Now I realize what she said was correct
@@bhunag9383 Sometimes you can be wrong. Even scientific evidence can be "untrue".
As a Korean, our main is not bread but rice. Rice is same like bread :) To drop glucose it is best to serve after reheating frozen cooked rice 😊.
Thanks for the info!😊
I just started doing this.
Also adding vinegar. One spoon full per cup of uncook rice.
Just switch to brown rice....
@@eylab1541 I would be cooking an throwing it away. Brown rice can't be cooked in different ways only steamed. We don't eat steam rice. Why would you say that ? You don't have any idea of how I cook rice some many ways and adding some vinegar dose Not change the flavor of any of my recipes. Brown rice would definitely Not work.
That's great news Doctor. Being a single person and avoiding eating bread, I keep a loaf in the freezer and have done that for a long time; now toasting it is a double bonus. Thanks
I live in outback Australia and we have been freezing our bread for more than 40 years now, so that is good news thank you.
I’ve been freezing and toasting my bread on & off for years purely for convenience reasons, it never goes off that way, so no waste. Never knew it had health benefits before.
But I believe the guy in the video forgot to mention the acrylamide which is formed when the bread is toasted, and some of the vitamins which are destroyed. Not sure which is healthier compared to higher, or lower glycemic index.
Me too
And me. Never thought it makes me still thin even eat quite a lot portions each time for many years. 😊
I always freeze my bread, to keep it fresh longer, and use as needed. I usually lightly toast it to deforst it. It's nice to know that doing so is nutritionally helpful as well. Thanks Dr. Mandell!
I use microwave to defrost it, it makes the bread tender as if it was just out of the oven.
We do the same thing.
Same, I have been trying to lower my carbs so I don't eat as much bread as before, even if it's "keto friendly" bread, which I have in the freezer now, I might eat a couple slices a week, so obviously I need to preserve it, good to know that what little carbs these have might also be lowered even more, by the freezing and toasting.
@@En_theo You need to be careful with the microwave - five seconds too long and it turns into mush!
@@JohnJones-qy5ko
Np there, I just use the same time for the same amount of bread each time :)
I am single, so the only way I've kept my bread fresh for the past 13 years is by freezing it. This is great information. I always put mine on the iron grill to toast it., so it must be more than 31% reduction! Thank you.

Living in rural Ireland & quite a long drive to the nearest village, I freeze my brown seed loaves - when removed from freezer, they are as fresh as the day they were baked. So this is very good news to me, thanks, Doc❣️
Great I do the same and you are right, it keeps fresh 👍
Hey, I was born in Dublin but live in Canada.
I freeze bread because I don’t eat it too often, as long as I freeze it I can have bread toasted more often.
@@anneknight3875 I was doing this all along anyway. The exact same for me, I don't eat (sprouted Ezekiel and whole wheat) bread fast enough so I freeze and toast it.
I am Irish, living in Australia. Buy Gluten free bread and freeze it. So good news, I am doing it right .
I couldn’t figure out why I eat bread A LOT, and I’m still skinny, whereas everyone else in my family who avoids bread like the plague, has always had weight problems. I’ve always frozen and toasted my bread. Every time, all the time. Now it’s starting to make sense 😃 Of course I WALK a lot.
Thanks for informing those of us who know eating (white) bread isn't all that healthy - but still do, for various reasons. Those who are more accomplished don't eat any bread of course, but Dr Mandell don't look down on people, but wants to help everyone.
My mother always had a loaf in the freezer and one in the fridge, and would shuffle by the dates. We were poor when I was a kid, but she always made sure we had wheat bread, even if it was the cheapest wheat.
It was always a shock when I’d stay with family or friends and their families would just leave bread in a cupboard or tucked away on the counter. I’d examine that package for mold consistently as a kid and remember it always tasting stale and mushy when left out.
Thank you Dr Mandel I would always put my bread in the freezer because I would buy extra trying to save money and now you're telling me that it's a great idea for my health thank you again
To Judy Vaughn: 🍞🤗I, like you, have been freezing extra white breads to save money for many years. It’s good to know that now I can eat it guilt-free
Same , I have been freezing bread for a different reason.
@@francinemartinez2842 czcams.com/video/_VoFTLF3hpA/video.html
@Judy same, freeze to reduce waste. Now l have 2 reasons.
However, l will be looking at who provided & who paid for the studies as history shows how health experts are paid to say whatever.

This is so awesome to hear as I’ve been doing this for a while now anyway, however it was primarily as a way to keep my bread fresher for longer so to hear I’ve been actually helping my body is great news. Thanks Doc! 🙏🏼

We regularly freeze and then toast our bread (most of the time, sometimes make sandwiches without toasting). We've always done it for convenience so thanks for letting us know it's healthier. A little secret I learned years ago is when you buy it take the time to put a fresh clean paper towel on the top of the bread and one on the bottom the reseal the bag. You will find your bread survives freezing much better with no negative effects & also once it's out of the freezer keep the paper towels in place, it will stay fresh longer.

This doctor is uniquely passionate and lucky who gets to be your patient doctor. You are a saint..
needs to be cannonized
hes not a doctor. hes a chiropractor...massive difference.
@@markrush5013 no, not a massive difference. You are confusing titles he holds a D. C. Which is a Doctor of Chiropractic degree; in the US the ability to confer degrees is monitored by the state (sometimes federal) governments and Regional Accreditation Councils. MD's, which is what you are thinking of, are Doctors of Medicine, I hold a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) all 3 of us. Plus many more are entitled to be called "Doctor" as they are academically awarded degrees from the Graduate School they attended.
The confusion is that each of these specialties, must be licensed to practice that specialty. I spent 6 years on a licensing board. established by state law and entitled to grant, amend or revoke licenses (within our specialty) MD's in some states are licensed to practice "Medicine and Surgery", DC's, practice as Chiropractic Physicians, other specialties are Dentists, Veterinarians. Counselors. Psychologists, etc. So, the key to the difference is NOT the term "Doctor" it is the academic preparation and the license one is authorized to practice under. Why? To protect, as much as possible, patients from unqualified practitioners.
Each specialist is full competent and permitted to practice in accordance with the terms of their license.
I hope this helps understand why different "Doctors" do different types of work. After all, they may be smart, but you don't want a Doctor of Astrophysics (also a PhD) doing brain surgery on you or your loved ones!
@@RevDrDavid777 I definitely wouldn't want a chiropractor doing brain surgery on me!!
@@dcg929 Steady on....
What a happy coincidence: I’ve been baking my own bread for years, slicing the just-baked loaves, and freezing the slices in ziplock bags just to keep the bread fresh. I did not know that this lowered the glycemic index.
If you cook pasta and freeze it ,works as well
I do the same thing.
Hi

@@francescavignola6446 Hello
Does this apply to pasta?
I have been freezing our Bread for a long time. Didn't know that this was such a good thing. Everytime I see your Videos I learn more each time. You are AMAZING thank you ❤
As with many of your viewers, we routinely freeze white bread soon after purchase because we don't eat it very quickly and then toast it after bringing it out of the freezer. Didn't realize we were helping ourselves metabolically by doing this, so that's a plus!
Thanks for yet another informative video!
Oh my gosh I've been freezing and toasting bread and tortillas for years. This is some of the best nutritional news I've heard in a long time. Thank you!
I've been doing the same only because I'm a single man who doesn't eat enough bread to go through a loaf before it goes bad so I freeze it and when I want toast with my eggs and toast a slice or two. I had no idea it was the healthier way to go. Have a Great day Dolly.
I have been doing the same with the last few slices of my bread and I always toast it to defrost it. When the date is off I freeze it before it goes green. Now I'm going to freeze the lot as soon as I get it
Me too. Wonder if freezing flour has the same effect?

@@madelinemcnicholas1939 czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
I been a baker for 25 years and I completely understand why this study makes sense.
Same lol. Although sadly sprouted wheat/rye/whatever bread is a scam here, you can add any amount of sprouted flour and the rest normal flour and sell it as sprouted. That's why I buy 100% whole wheat since there is a actual law that requires you to actually have it be whole wheat.
Would the freezing and toasting technique work for rye crackers?
Do your crackers contain gluten?
This is the healthiest news I've heard all year. Thanks Doc
I have often wondered about freezing bread and now I know . Thank you Dr. Mandell I watch you everyday and practice your advice. Also tell others about you!!! ❤
Finally hearing something I do all the time, is actually the healthiest thing to do.
Me too! 🤗
greenbluemonkey: Same here - have always frozen all bread first, then eaten it toasted. With our family, it was always a case of being 'thrifty'.....you buy your week's bread at the supermarket, and freeze it all to make it last until the next time you go shopping. Makes for health and money-saving. Thanks for letting me know l was doing it right, doc!!😊
Yes. I bake my own bread rolls, freeze them, then nuke for 30 seconds to thaw. They come out just like fresh baked.
@@ralphm6901. Any microwaved food is very unhealthy. Regular toasting is better.
Sometimes we do the right thing purely by chance! As a senior living alone, I always freeze the bread to keep it fresh. And since I heard, way back in the 70's, that toasted bread is healthier, and happen to prefer the crispness of toast, I always toast the frozen bread. Happy to hear the good news, thank you!
I was going to write this exact same comment. Were you ‘remote viewing’ on me?
Have a great weekend, Susan!😉
My mother has been freezing bread for years for the same reason and now I do the same. I almost never have white bread, always whole wheat and other multigrain breads. They taste better.
Bet you learned it the way I did, from your mom and grandmother?
Hello Susan!
Respects to you.
Australia
This is fantastic news. I always thought toasting my bread will reduce the calories, but now I know freezing then toasting is even better. Way to go doc.
How does toasting reduce the calories?
This is crazy but really true.
I freeze my sour dough bread
And toast to thaw and retoast another time to get a brown toasted texture.
Also I am experimenti with
Goat cream cheese instead of butter
Or olive oil
It's truly settling my digestive tract.
For me this is a miracle.
No
White bread.
Is the best way.
Heal as Dr Mandell is saying.
It aligns with
Holistic health.
Thanks DOC ❤
OMG! We’ve been freezing our bread like forever, reason being, it’s as fresh as when you bought it when it’s defrosted. Then we toast it. I have been sharing this idea with friends but no one seems to like the idea of frozen bread! With your video and a doctor’s standpoint, I hope it catches on. Thank you for this, Doc! FYI, we also freeze pizza and toast it in a pan, low heat. It turns out crispy at the bottom, and soft and gooey on top. I hope your followers try it, too!
Pizza! Great idea!
I been doing that too.. so that's great
What a good idea - I’m going to try the pizza trick.
Leftover Pizza is the best reheated in a pan!!!
Agreed on reheating pizza in a frying pan. I’m always careful because it’s very easy to burn the bottom while trying to get the top ingredients warm/hot. So it helps me to zap it in the micro first to get hot all the way through, then a quick spin on the frying pan drives off moisture from the crust for the nice crunch. Good luck all and cheers. !
I've been freezing my bread for years because I don't eat bread everyday. I only eat it when its toasted with breakfast or on a sandwich. Didn't know about these health benefits but I'm glad I've been doing the right thing. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
Exactly what I do. I take a piece or two out as needed. I always toast my sandwiches.
@@gerrimcgrath6878 that's it. I take two slices out at a time and put the rest back in the freezer. I use the double wrapped bread like Arnold or Petridge farm. I don't know if that helps but it lasts for a good while without tasting freezer burnt.
@@mickyelmb
I think that’s ‘Pepperidge’ Farm.
No ones eats bread everyday, though some do every day.
Ditto w/sour dough
For over 50 years I've frozen my bread. Now I know why. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm wheat sensitive and gluten free but I want bread sometimes!!! Now on occasion I know how to do so!! I thank you not only for this but for everything, everyday that you post that's so motivational not only to me but all you reach. Peace and Blessings 🙏
So glad to hear this as I have been doing this for years. I would raid the day-old clearance bakery rack with a healthy sense of lack and then puzzle what to do with it all once I got it home. I started putting it all in the freezer and then toasting it to take the freeze off . So, now I discover that I accidentally turned my guilty pleasure healthier thanks to you!
😅
First cooked rice, then pasta, and now bread, all healthier after freezing! 😃
Thanks for the info, doc!! 👏👏👏
… cooked rice and pasta too ? … does the pasta have to be cooked first? …

Been freezing my bread for year's.
Thanks, Dr.Mandell for your ratification of being on the right track regarding my bread consumption. My routine with bread is making loaves, slicing them, and freezing them; then, every other day, I eat two slices of bread for breakfast, after defrosting and toasting, in my regular alternation with porridge; always along with a cup of grain coffee and milk.
I have been avoiding bread for the past one year and life has lost its lustre but now your video is game changer, can’t thank you enough.
Beware! As I say above. Since white bread sets the glycemic benchmark at 100, reducing it to 69 is not as good as we'd hoped.
I'm a diabetic who loves bread the most. Damn!
See my comment above 👆🏻
Beware of the gluten issue too which is more than likely not sufficiently balanced out by the resistant starch.

Exactly my plight! Super excited with this news.
Much respect to the Doc, but I think people should test themselves to find the impact on themselves.
Very edifying, Doc! I live in a small town w/ one store. Can't buy any good breads, fruits or Vegetables. I'm 73 and in good health but I no longer labor under the magical delusion of immortality. My fake hawian bread just went into the freezer! I met a very active 103yo who told me the secret of longevity was, " EAT VERY LITTLE!"
I love making my own bread from scratch. As I learn how to make it, I start to look into healthier breads. That said we don't eat that much that quick so I stick it in the freezer. Thanks for explaining this to me. 🤩
My mother never knew this all those years ago when she'd freeze loaves of bread. Groening up 35 miles from town, I learned to make shopping trips count and how to store food away. This is brilliant
That's great news....we have been storing our bread in the deep freezer section of the house refrigerator just to keep them "good" for a longer period of time..never knew what a really "good" job we have been doing.. thanks a lot doctor for this video ...
Good info. My parents freeze and toast their bread, but only for convenience, so it is nice to know there is a benefit. I do prefer the sourdough and whole grains.
I freeze bread to keep it fresh longer but all this information is so good for us bread lovers. Thanks doc
We've been freezing our bread forever too & I always toast mine because it just tastes better to me, and I like the texture more too. I was unaware that freezing makes it that much better for you since I'm a diabetic this is great news to me thanks DOC!👍

Does this work with white bread bought from a store like Walmart
I have been freezing assorted breads since I learned from my Great-Grandma, years ago. It is great to have a loaf or two on back up. Thank you for the breakdown. Stay healthy.
Good Job! Sugar 😫 When you are thawing your bread, if you flip it over a couple of times during the process, it distributes the moisture, preventing staleness on the upper part of the loaf. Then, just keep flipping it once in awhile if it starts to get hard.
To think I have been doing it just like you said, without knowing the benefits! I buy bread in bulk, freeze it & toast it for sandwiches and toast in the Morning! Thank you Dr Mandell❣
I make my own bread with preferably a mix of different kinds of flours. Every now and then I make a white loaf.
ALL my bread goes in the freezer since I am alone and I eat maybe 3 or 4 HALF slices a week. I never knew freezing bread is good, but now I am feeling quite happy that I’ve been doing this for years! Thank you Dr Mandell!
All I have to say is...Glory Hallelujah...for you, your great information, AND whatever group of scientists conducted the experiment!!!
I use beefsteak rye seedless, it has 15gms of carbs per slice - but 1 slice is big enough to function as 2 if sliced in half. Now I'm freezing it, then toasting it, and yes, I've seen significant improvement. My rule of thumb: for snacks anything 3 or less grams of carb is okay, less than 7 is good for a meal. Less than 15 if a one time eating event that day. All of that, plus exercise. Get a copy of "Body for Life", then do the upper body weight lifting and adominals once a week - takes 1 hour on a weekend, then do 30 minute cardio 3 times a week. You'll be in good shape in 6 months - 3 months if you follow "Body for Life" routine by the book.
WOW, why would I not freeze or freeze and toast packaged sliced breads? Genius! I might not be able to always resist tearing off a hunk of bakery bread as soon as I bring it in but now maybe I can apply the same principles to the remainder of those gorgeous loaves as well! Thank you, Dr. Mandell!
Quick note: My mother and grandmother have been freezing bread for years before using. I didn't know until now that not only does it keep it fresh, but toasting it was still frozen was healthier still for a person on a restricted-glucose diet. I just thought it tasted better! Also, glad to hear some of my favorite breads are >/= whole wheat. Thank you. Kind Regards.

When I was a young mother, I always froze bread, because it kept longer, and was fresh tasting when thawed and/or toasted. I also used pieces of the frozen bread for my babies to teeth on, because I didn’t trust the safety of the teething rings with cool gel in them. I had tried the teething biscuits, which my babies loved, but they made huge messes. They loved the frozen bread; they could chew on them, numbing and working the soreness out of their gums; and they didn’t make a big mess!!!
This is the most posituve thing I've heard today. Thank you. I don't eat bread bc of my diabetes, so it's nice to know how I can get lowest glycemic index if I decide to again.
You could try keto bread or even Walmart has a lower carb lower sugar bread for half the price of keto bread that's what I always eat or toast up. The nutritionist with my diabetes told me to eat 45 to 60 carbs per meal so bread fits in there nicely the low carb bread.
I have been freezing bread for quite a long time, and I love toasted bread. Thank you Doc for letting me know that I have been doing great deal for myself. As I'm watching the video, there is brown bread in my freezer. GOD bless you sir 👏🏿.
My family has been doing this for decades, but only to keep it fresh. Now I find out about this, i was worried about the GI but it's good to hear!

@@vanhuvanhuvese2738 Ummm. . . Maybe more than a month? The longer it's in the freezer more ice will build up. What i do is take the bread out of the bag and scrape ice off the bread and empty the bag, if you don't and just let it thaw you will have soggy bread. Hope this makes sense.
@@shintaco7517 yes it does and helpful thanks
I am 78 & type 2 diabetic with all the classic symptoms, and I purposed 3 weeks ago to wean myself from breads, pastries, and sugar sweets. I've already lost 10 lbs and my blood pressure has dropped to just below normal with 1/2 dose of lysinopryl. I hugely appreciate this reassuring video and the valuable information it contains.
I gave up carbohydrates at 16 and lost 100lbs, best decision of my life. Now I eat what I want but very healthy
@@ferdtheterd3897 You gave up junk food containing carbs, potatoes, wheat, etc. are fine. Do you eat only meat and eggs now?
@@LiberatedMind1 Some weeks I eat buffet and the week after I only have protein milk and fruits.
Regularly I eat homemade Lebanese food every day and I feel fantastic.
Beef, eggs, chicken, yogurt, potatoes.
And don't eat pork its bad for memory
@@ferdtheterd3897 So you eat carbs great, you never gave them up.
@@LiberatedMind1 Well I did for a year. But I'm 20 and I want to enjoy tasty foods
Your videos are very evidence based which makes them worth listening to. Thank you.
Our bodies make starch too, I read a very long study on Starch intolerance and it wasn’t only consuming starch but also anything that would create starch in your body like high glycemic foods.
No one ever talks about it and I think it makes sense that it’s a bigger problem than people realize because you could have serious issues thinking it’s gluten or Crohns and they test you and say nope, but you have a starch intolerance and it’s worse than those two issues.
I would definitely want to see more discussions about the body making starch or whatever the response is without directly consuming starch as an ingredient.
Interesting.
This is fascinating! I’ve always enjoyed my toast from frozen bread as it actually improves the taste and texture. Now I know it’s also better for me too! 🍞
With what I have learned after changing doctors you are hitting the nail on the head.
Who knew Mom was right freezing the bread and not buying white bread. Thanks Mom. ❤
Works !Changes the molecular structure and your body does
not absorb the starch.I do the same with pasta and potatos
When I was growing up we lived in the Country and my mother made batches of white bread, mostly in the winter time. She always put our loaves of bread wrapped up in the freezer for the duration of the winter. When she served it - it was so fresh like the day she made it. Now, thanks to your video - I know it was a healthy way to eat it as well. I am going to start freezing our bread. Thank you Dr. Mandell. ツ
I'm glad my husband has been freezing our bread ever since I met him, we did not know about this but we really appreciate the news and it's great thank you Dr. Mandell GOD bless you. ❤️❤️❤️
I love DR. Mandell! I love the short videos that are packed with valuable information! ❤
I always freeze bread as soon as I get it just so it doesn’t go stale and then use it as I need it. I didn’t realize that it had another benefit so that’s an extra bonus
thanks doc , Ive been doing this with bread , rice , pasta and potatoes for years. I live alone and cook and freeze . Many pasta dishes 9lasagne , risotto , just plain rice for other dishes , ravioli and even home made Pizza. I am IB , so my tolerate to gluten changes a bit but I find freezing gives a bit of a head start.freezing also enhances flavours of Italian , Indian , Asian dishes ect. Loves your videos Dr Mandell , you are a true humanitarian!
Your presentation, as with all of your presentations is absolutely pleasant, Dr. Mandell! I absolutely respect all of your work even more when you post the journal(s). Thank you for all you do for our embetterment. Bless you, Dr Mandell and all of your family.
Betterment, not embetterment. That's not a word.
I mill my grains and make my bread. Freshly milled flour is the exceedingly rich in vitamins and minerals. Once it’s milled, grains lose most of their nutrients within 72 hours. The whole wheat flour that you buy at the grocery store is devoid of most of its nutrients except for some protein. After I make my bread, I slice it and put it in the freezer. My husband doesn’t eat bread so I am the only one in my household who eats it. I freeze it to keep it fresh. I am glad to know this information, Dr. Mandell.
I've always frozen my bread and then toasted it as needed, just so I can avoid it turning moldy due to the length of time before I finish it.
Glad to see there are other reasons to do so
Yeah me too for the same reason. ❤
I have always been freezing my bread to keep it fresh for longer. Then toast with butter in a frying pan . It taste good but never knew that it could lower the glycemic index. Thank you Dr. Mandel.
This is so great! My A1C has been creeping up, 5.8. I could just live off bread & I really miss it! I'm a widow, living alone & freezing makes even more sense now, saves the bread & slows down my eating of it.

Oh Excellent I do freeze my bread and toast it! Found it more helpful for me to freeze quarters because I don’t eat much and ended up throwing the rest of the bread away! Little trick with freezing bread wrap the bread in paper towels! The paper towels absorb the moisture when defrosting! 🌟
This was amazing information and it is going to be so helpful to me and my family! Here's a tip about frozen bread. If you put a paper towel in the bread package prior to freezing it, the texture of the bread is maintained.
To reduce waste I regularly freeze portions of bread. I'm delighted to hear how much healthier it is and I usually defrost it by toasting it. Brilliant 😃
Oh yeah, doc! I've been doing that for a long time, freezing bread to keep it out of the mold and toasting it to make it eatable This is so much a natural process.
What, like mediaeval peasants always did?
My wife likes only white bread but I avoid it and prefer the brown whole wheat variety as I have diabetes. Now this posting from you Doctor pleases both of us, I will buy white bread only and let it pass through the fridge before eating. Thank you for the good advice 🙏🙏🙏
this is life changing. i am able to turn my once a week cheat night meal of toasted cheese sandwiches on sourdough into a healthy meal. thank you!
This is MASSIVE if it's true. I actually do toast half the bread I eat with grass fed (no rapeseed oil) pure butter. Preppers are going to love this - many will prolly do a bread run & then freeze - great timesaver.
I think it's sad that so many people stopped eating bread. Moderation is the key. I've been freezing my bread for many years. I buy different kinds of bread for different uses. I love toast and do enjoy sandwiches too. I grew up on bread and would never eliminate it from my life. I understand some people do have health issues and have to avoid it but most people can have some just as people have been eating bread for centuries. It's a lot healthier than eating many foods people eat today. Cheaper too.
I agree, The Bible speaks about bread several times!
had to stop eating the heavy wheat stuff, white bread easier to digest, freezing makes it taste better too
@@trailblazer8276 czcams.com/video/_VoFTLF3hpA/video.html
this is really good info.
as a single guy i often freeze bread so it won't get molds but from now on i'll always put fresh bread in the freezer first.
It is good to know that a Doctor inform us what are the harmful food we are shoving in our mouth & has bad advantages, Thank you Dr. Mandell for informing us because i grew up with bread & my wife had told me this before but i ignore her & from now on i will stay away from white bread since i bake it too
I was so afraid of eating white bread . Thank you, Dr. Mandell for the precious knowledge.
Me too! Have been avoiding it lately lol I appreciate Dr Mandell’s knowledge greatly🤍
I used to eat bread for every meal. Now that I’am in keto I don’t anymore. Thank you Dr. Mandell for this great advice. God Bless you💕🙏🏼👏🏼
I'm sure you know better. Just freezing and toasting bread will not make it keto. It still has way too many absorbable carbs to be a keto food.
I do it without knowing the benefits!!! As i am living far from the center and having no car, i buy many packages of bread in the freezer and then warm it before consuming. Convenience and health combined 😊
I’m always so glad to learn when a something I do has additional health benefits! Who knew? Thanks!
