On this morning's episode of ITV Lorraine, viewers were issued a bleak health warning by the show's in-house medical professional Dr Hilary Jones. The Doctor appeared alongside 63-year-old Lorraine to warn people about the dangers of eating bread.
Explaining the findings of a recent study, Dr Hilary said that a lot of bread contains a lot more salt than people realise, and could therefore become a health hazard if eaten in excess. He said: "Action on Salt have looked at 242 different loaves, examined them all and three quarters of them had as much salt as a packet of salted crisps. That's a worry and the worst one is two slices of bread gives you a fifth of your daily total recommended intake of salt."
