No! This is terrible news. Who doesn't love treating themselves to a morning bagel to start the day off right? The bagel is a North American staple that is so prevalent in our diets that there seems to be a bagel place on every corner. In certain cities, secrets of where to find the best bagels are traded more than celebrity gossip.
Unfortunately, due to high volumes of refined white flour and salt, bagels are one of the worst baked goods you can eat on a regular basis. They have a high glycemic index and cause blood sugar levels to soar (that 10:30am bagel come down is not your imagination!). It's a tough reality to face, but usually when something you thought was healthy tastes too good to be true, it's because it actually is.
