Inspired by the BBC documentary, at lunch time today 10 Science teachers did the chewing a plain cracker test. ( light hearted)

I have always struggled with my weight but am a classic binge eater. I am about a stone over weight at the moment but I do have to watch what I eat.

So we all chewed the plain cracker the head of Department yelled I taste sweetness after 10 secs! A few others started yelling. I taste sweet.

It got to 1 minute 10, me and three others just tasted pure clag.

I knew it! Gutted!

What sort of cracker exactly?

I dont understand the results - if you are better at digesting carbs surely you should restrict them?

Not entirely sure of the Science I am a Physicist but I think if you digest them quickly you burn them quickly whereabouts if you don’t there is more chance they can be stored as fat. I think!

I would do this test but I can't because I can't have any crackers or crisps in the house as I eat the whole packet/multi pack.BlushI may be an addict.
