Haha, I just listened to that -- I should have made the connection.

He was saying too, though, that most bread in the US has HFCS in it. Bread in the EU has very little sugar -- it's banned/highly regulated (unless it's a loaf like brioche).

Now I'm going to go read the ingredients on my flatmate's bread and see.
