Scientists discover why bread can cause weight gain without extra calories

Need to understand how resistant starch modified carbs play in this. So, rice chilled and re-heated. Reheated spuds. Not sure how you can do this with bread but maybe secondary cooking (toast) gets you there? Also, is this another nail in the coffin for "all calories are the same" ? Feels like it. I am not a mouse, but I definitely preference some carbs over others. Mind you, given a choice between snacking on an umami laden bowl of salami, cheese, miso, burnt-crunchy-bits-from-the-dinner-roast or carbs, I'd eat all of them.

> why bread can cause weight gain > When wheat flour was removed from the diet, both body weight and metabolic abnormalities improved quickly. Bread is not only wheat flour. And humans do not eat flour. Maybe the added sugar in "bread" has a role ?
