A new research carried out by nutrition scientist Dr Aine O'Connor, based at the British Nutrition Foundation in central London found that standard sliced white bread had been unfairly "demonised" by health campaigners and TV nutritionists.

The research debunks myths that bread causes bloating, sparks weight gain - and that wheat allergies are on the rise.

"People are missing out on vital vitamins and minerals by removing it from their daily diet," the research found.
