Re: Because Bread Is \'Bad\'.

ha.. I remember being a kid and everyone saying the crust is the healthiest part. Then I went years without even considering it. Then I got a job in a bakery where I saw 10s of thousands of loaves of bread being made each day. One day I was just reminiscing and the memory of "the crust is the healthiest part" hit me and I started laughing. It's the same thing!
ps - I suppose there could be some minor effect just due to being exposed to more temperature, but I'd bank it's pretty minimal.

Actually, because the crust is often charred it contains carcinogenic free radicals that aren't in the non-crust bread. (not in quantities significant enough to make a difference, but the fact is that the crust is *worse* for you than the inside of the bread).
Asking someone if the crust is healthier is actually a great way to detect silliness. My mom used to always tell us that and make us eat the crust. It's a huge lol.
