If you’re a fan of toast at breakfast, make yours a slice of rye. According to Swedish researchers, among people who ate breakfasts that differed only in the type of bread they were served, those who had rye bread were significantly less hungry after 8 hours than those who had wheat (surprising but true!).

Update: Our food editor, Karen, noted that this study was based on the dark, dense whole grain ryes that are common in Europe. Most of the US ryes are
actually made from wheat flour, so to get the benefits, be sure to check the label before you buy!
