This popular breakfast food is turning the intestines into 'gutter', experts warn those who eat it daily

Is it OK to eat healthy bread every day: Bread is an easily available food, which is widely used as breakfast. But if you are also eating bread every day, then it can prove to be harmful for your gut health.

Bread is an important part of breakfast for many people. Especially tea and butter-bread, bread, and omelette are very much liked as breakfast. But have you ever wondered what effect eating bread every day has on your health?

Famous wellness guru Dr Mickey Mehta has warned in his Instagram post that eating bread every day can be one of the most dangerous habits for the body. He said that this can lead to a disease called "auto-brewery syndrome". In which a person can reach a state of intoxication without drinking alcohol. Let's know what the science says behind this claim and what are the other health risks associated with bread.

What is auto-brewery syndrome?

Auto-brewery syndrome is a rare and serious health condition. In this, some fungi present in the intestines of the body ferment excessive amounts of carbohydrates and convert them into ethanol alcohol. The result is that the person becomes intoxicated without drinking alcohol.

These symptoms are seen in the body

According to a case study published in 2019, patients suffering from this condition may experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and behavioural changes. This condition worsens especially when a person consumes a high-carb diet, such as white bread, pasta, and sugar.

Health risks hidden in bread

The bread available in the market is ultra-processed, containing high amounts of preservatives, additives, and refined carbs. White bread, in particular, is high in the glycemic index, which causes blood sugar levels in the body to increase rapidly. Apart from this, some people may have allergy or sensitivity to gluten, which can cause symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, and indigestion. Also, the amount of fiber in white bread is very low, which can cause digestive problems.

Choose healthy options

If you cannot stop eating bread, then choose some healthy options. Eat multigrain or whole wheat bread. Balance the bread with fruits, vegetables or protein-rich ingredients. Homemade bread or sourdough bread can be a better option.
