What it is
Toasting changes bread texture and moisture. It does not make different bread formulations nutritionally equivalent; grain type, fiber and additions still determine the meal.
Evidence basis: Human clinical evidence
Bread browned by dry heat, with nutritional composition determined mainly by the bread and toppings.
What it is, why people use it, the evidence, and what to know before trying it.

Evidence basis: Human clinical evidence
Toast can supply meal carbohydrate. Whole-grain guidance applies to whole-grain bread; an unspecified slice cannot be assumed to have that composition or a special health benefit.
Confidence: moderate
Known side effects, interactions and use limits from reviewed sources.
