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.
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 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.
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. 👍👏
@@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'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!!
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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❣️
@@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.
@@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!
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.
Being a home baker, I have found bread to be one of the great pleasures of life, important to a good meal. A long life has no value in and of itself. I do freeze bread after baking it but not all of it because fresh-baked bread is just a great pleasure. I'm old and been eating bread all my life, have few health problems. Genetics have a lot to do with health fates.
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.
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!
@@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
@@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.
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
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!!😊
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'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.
@@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.
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
@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 channel so much. We must be aware of what we eat as Bill Gates is trying to control the food #RefuseBillGatesFactorySlop SEC is finally looking into why GATES motives. #BillGatesBioTerrorist
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.
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.
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!. ❤️
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!
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.
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!
DR.MANDELL, YOU ARE A SAINT AMONG MEN! Thank You, for CARING to HELP US w/out any concern for the "almighty" dollar, just, FOR OUR WELL-BEING! I Watch Every Video you Make. Thank you for the brevity as well. We have learned so much from your generous knowledge & heart! God Bless You & Yours!
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!👍
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. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
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!!! ❤
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.
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.
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!
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. !
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! 🙏🏼
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.
@@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
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.
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
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.

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.
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 ...
@@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.
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! 🍞
Excellent video... I was intrigued to learn how much GI was reduced from freezing and toasting bread, so I went to the study you linked and found GI was reduced by a whooping 39.38%... Dr Mandell, you are a Godsend and God Bless you for your tireless efforts to keep us healthy 🙏🙏🙏

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.
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
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!
Wow! That's amazing and to realize how super simple it is for such a huge benefit. Not everyday do you come by something so extremely valuable and easy. Thank you Dr Mandell for all you do for us!!
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.
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!
Thank you for explaining something I noticed myself years ago.....You have also explained why a lady I knew 40 years ago could only eat cold food which had been cooked and refrigerated! You are brilliant.
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'm very happy to have found this video. Sharing it on my Vegan Health board on Pinterest. Thank you so much. We do freeze our healthy bread just to keep it longer. Often, we toast it too. It's great to know we've been doing the right thing all along.
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.
Absolutely excellent video. My Mom used to freeze our bread. She was diabetic. I think she did it because it was several loaves. It actually helped her. Thank you for sharing.
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 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.
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!!!

Thank you for this valuable information. I been freezing my sprouted breads, sourdough and pumpernickel the last 15 yrs to make them last longer. Didn't know this is also healthier!
I learned from my DAD since I grew up as a child in the 1960s to freeze bread to make it last longer, nothing in our house was wasted because my DAD was a chronic reader on saving and using everything to its utmost capacity. Little did we all know it was also more healthy to freeze bread. Thank you for the info, DR. Mandell.
Being alone now I just keep the bread ithe freezer as i don't use it up fast enough to prevent mold spoilage otherwise...used to be i would bake in large batches for sale. Now I buy it...rn
That is fascinating. I get sick from normal bread to the point where I wondered whether I was sensitive to gluten, but when I fry the bread in olive oil with garlic, it gives me more energy than any other food and I don't get sick. And I always keep the bread I use for that in the freezer. I always thought it had to do something with olive oil or the garlic, but this gives a completely new perspective.

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.
This is fascinating. I alway freeze bread as I can’t eat it quick enough to keep from going stale. After freezing I prefer to toast as it is never quit like a fresh unfrozen slice to me. Now I understand why I never seem to have spike after eating my home made sandwiches as opposed to a sandwich shop treat.

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 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).

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 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.
Yes the rising prices and gas 😢
What abt Wheat bread I don't eat white
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.

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!!

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.
Being a home baker, I have found bread to be one of the great pleasures of life, important to a good meal. A long life has no value in and of itself. I do freeze bread after baking it but not all of it because fresh-baked bread is just a great pleasure. I'm old and been eating bread all my life, have few health problems. Genetics have a lot to do with health fates.
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'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!

@@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

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.
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 have been doing this for years because I live alone 😊 Now I know it's better for you. Thank you 🤗
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

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.
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'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.

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.

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.

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

@@francescavignola6446 Hello
Does this apply to pasta?
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.
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. !
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! 🙏🏼

Much respect to the Doc, but I think people should test themselves to find the impact on themselves.

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?
Wow! I been freezing bread for our entire marriage - 34 years, just for keeping it fresh. Never thought it changed it, making it healthier.
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
All I have to say is...Glory Hallelujah...for you, your great information, AND whatever group of scientists conducted the experiment!!!
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!

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.

It actually helped her. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, I freeze bread to keep it fresh longer. It is good to know that it lowers the glycemic index. I always toast bread too.
When I was a young mother, I always froze bread, because it kept longer, and was fresh tasting when thawed and/or toasted.

Thank you so much for this educative post on Bread. God bless you. I really appreciate all you do, teaching us to love our bodies and to live a healthy lifestyle.
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!
Thank you for this valuable information. I been freezing my sprouted breads, sourdough and pumpernickel the last 15 yrs to make them last longer. Didn't know this is also healthier!
I learned from my DAD since I grew up as a child in the 1960s to freeze bread to make it last longer, nothing in our house was wasted because my DAD was a chronic reader on saving and using everything to its utmost capacity. Little did we all know it was also more healthy to freeze bread. Thank you for the info, DR. Mandell.
Right. I buy six loaves at a time and freeze them which is cheaper than singly, Either toast or thaw them in the micro wave, Good on your Dad, Cheers
Being alone now I just keep the bread ithe freezer as i don't use it up fast enough to prevent mold spoilage otherwise...used to be i would bake in large batches for sale. Now I buy it...rn
You’re the BEST, Dr Mandell. We love you. Thank you for your rich knowledge and imparting them to us. God bless you! 👍🙏♥️
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I LEARNED ABOUT FREEZING BREAD! THANK YOU!
That is fascinating. I get sick from normal bread to the point where I wondered whether I was sensitive to gluten, but when I fry the bread in olive oil with garlic, it gives me more energy than any other food and I don't get sick. And I always keep the bread I use for that in the freezer.
I always thought it had to do something with olive oil or the garlic, but this gives a completely new perspective.
What happens when u eat rice, pasta, potatoes ?
@@akuma4u I’ve read that cold cooked pasta and potatoes also have a lower GI as the starch becomes more resistant, but don’t know about rice though.
@@akuma4u There is a video out that says to place in refrigerator for at least 12 hrs and they become resistant starches as well. So I have started to cook my rice, pasta and potatoes and refrigerate. Next day we eat it. I find that I feel different as it does not spike my insulin levels as if I eat freshly cooked starches the same day.
@@healthismywealth9668 u refrigerate but dont freeze. So do u warm it in microwave before eating?
@@akuma4u yes just refrigerate. You can warm up in micro, oven whatever... It doesn't revert. It remains a resistant starch (low glycemic starch.) I freeze my rice sometimes if it is too much and just thaw and reheat.
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 have been freezing and then toasting my bread for two years now without knowing this at all. I individually wrap two slices in wax paper and then aluminum foil over the wax paper. If you saw my freezer you’d think I was nuts. I take two slices out of the freezer the night before and have it for breakfast the next morning. I reuse the aluminum foil over and over again as it’s gotten very expensive lately.
Why were you doing this
@@BakewithAmy The bread use to get moldy after the fifth or sixth day after purchase. I live alone and a loaf can now last me over a week without going stale or moldy.
Wow, started this method upon thought a few months ago Wow
Not aluminum foil! 🤦🏽♀️
@@cocoliwise
First, I wrap the bread in wax paper, and then aluminum foil… And I reuse the aluminum foil over and over and over again. I’m following the instructions from a local baker.
Thank you, Dr. Mandel, for all of the valuable wealth of information you consistently provide for the betterment of overall health. SHALOM
Thanks Doctor ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have been freezing bread as , I live alone and not able to consume it fast. Now this is an added bonus. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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?
jaja! I've been freezing and toasting my home-made bread (white and brown) since FOREVER! I didn't know all this, but it makes me happy to know I've been eating a little healthier unknowingly. Great video!
I always freeze my wheat bread to have longer shelf life /avoid molds. French Baker has this advice to us! Also, I toast the bread before eating it! This is great video, a confirmation that I'm doing right to my bread! Thanks much Dr Mandell! Much appreciated! 👍👍👍
Loved this information. As a cancer survivor I try not to eat bread at all but I just may at times now freezing and toasting a healthier bread.
Sorry to learn that. Hope you are doing well. You are a survivor 👍❤️
I also went through cancer and am battling again. We are survivors. Now will eat a little more bread as well. Organic bread only for me.
@@lindaandrie99 My heart goes to all cancer survivors. You are heroes. God bless you all ❤️
@@lindaandrie99 also eat seamoss dear,make soup,smoothie, put in your dish
@@bbcool3099 yes seamoss is the best I used to drink it everyday so glad I'm getting these reminders from the videos and the comments ☺️
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.
Many thanks Doctor. I always freeze my bread and toast it. I'm glad that I have been doing the right thing for ages 😊😚🤗
This is fascinating. I alway freeze bread as I can’t eat it quick enough to keep from going stale. After freezing I prefer to toast as it is never quit like a fresh unfrozen slice to me. Now I understand why I never seem to have spike after eating my home made sandwiches as opposed to a sandwich shop treat.
Thank you Dr. Mandel you just answered a question I asked, when you talked about putting the spaghetti 🍝 in the refrigerator. I know now I can freeze the spaghetti 🍝 for a few hours before I eat it. This is great news.❤
Thank you Dr. Mandell. For several years, I have been freezing the rye bread and then I toast it. I had no idea that there was any other benefit to the freezing process. Thanks for sharing the video.
