I am always impressed with the thought, planning, production quality, and comprehensiveness of the topic that is being covered by CNA Insider. Great value for the use of my time. Thank you!
lowest calorie doesn't mean it's the healthiest, hotdog itself is a type of heavily-processed food, which is linked to cancer and other health issue. And different people have different minimum intake of daily calories, not everyone is the same. there are also metabolism rate that needs to be considered. in conclusion, breakfast bun itself is not that all bad when compared to other foods that are available. As always, everything in moderation.
I too thought they would discuss it more deeply with the nutritional facts of each buns, since already doing the lab test... agree that the buns should be considered with other factors as a whole, not just calorie and sugar level, e.g. hotdog bun surely has high sodium level
The poor uncle selling the buns probably doesn’t know that his interview lead into the revealing of how unhealthy the buns are. Although I find this documentary informative, butI find the interview a bit underhanded. You just never know how the media will twist any interviews to their own agenda.
Wonderful video!! I thought something lacking could be the comparison of homemade bread versus store bought ones in terms of the calories/softness/healthiness of it? But again different bread fillings will result in different results. I'm still a bread lover, they just taste so satisfying!

Have never liked bread esp those with fanciful fanco variety. However after watching Jeremy Low eating, I went to buy the fanciful variety and now I m hooked on them. 😅
Not sponsored but a repeat consumer of Upgrain - they're an SG food tech company that claims to create bread and bakes that are low carb and high in Fiber, they do testing on their main products, would be interesting to see an update with food alternatives like these and whether or not they are really healthier.
Good to know but it's not just about calories. I would want fibre and proteins. German breads fulfil the criteria but it's an acquired taste. After you get used to coarse and textured breads with lots of seeds, grains and nuts with harder crusts, and they are incidentally also more flavourful, it's hard to go back to white breads. You can't do without any sugar, it feeds the yeast and that makes the dough rise.
It really is scary to think about the addiction to carbohydrates like rice and buns. Some people need to eat them almost everyday to feel satisfied and when they go cold turkey they’re body has blowback effects.
Great episode. Thank you. These people are obviously burning more calories than I am. Just looking at those yummy buns are making me gain weight! Wow! They look great! Is diabetes a factor as more people are consuming those buns?
I think it's exactly because buns are heavy in carbohydrate and low in protein that you should NOT eat it for breakfast. If I eat 3 buns first thing in the morning, I'll want to fall asleep by 10am, and have more food when I wake up. Carbohydrate and sugar-heavy foods cause your blood sugar to spike (thus making you hyper, then sleepy immediately afterwards) and they're not as filling as protein. If you want to feel full and not sleepy in the morning, you should be eating protein instead.
It's bread so all very unhealthy. How yummy? All yummy . The healthiest ? idk..perhaps the hotdog bun. How long can you keep the hotdog bun if in a fridge or in room temp ?
@6:35 Uncle doesn't count the number of buns or trays he sells every day... nevermind... Uncle just counts the amount of money he collects every day... can already....
All not healthy cause all got carbs (form of sugar), with some having cream/chesse and the sausage is processed meat. So just eat them in moderation, but best have it with fresh salads.
They're not healthy, they're super processed, full of sugar, preservatives, far too sweet. The healthiest bread is an artisan sourdough with no sugar and no yeast, because of the fermentation process they are also much lower in gluten which as we know is inflammatory and an anti-nutrient can cause leaky gut etc. The best sourdoughs in Singapore can be found at Tiong Bahru Bakery and also the Providore do a good sourdough...
If CNA were worth it's salt it should do a self-produced documentary of the public protests in Europe against NATO and US-NATO's proxy war in Ukraine. But that would be asking too much from one capable of only disseminating biased ones script-provided manufactured by others.
can CNA also find out how healthy all these poke bowls/grain bowls what are being sold in CBD.. it claims to be healthy and it comes with a hefty price
Saw Steven and the crew setting up to film at toa payoh a few weeks back. I really wanted to stop and say hi, but for the life of me I couldn't remember his name in that moment arghhh. So I shied away.
Thank you for the comparison. I think I may walk away with the impression that the hotdog bun is healthiest. But that ignores the nitrite preservative in the hot dog which can be really bad for intestinal health. Calories is only one criterion. There are things that are actually harmful. And that is not limited to buns. I think it is more accurate to say the program investigates the caloric value of the buns, not how healthy they are. For an underweight person, higher calorie is healthier.
ahh.. i was just thinking about how unhealthy buns can be and I have most of my qns answered. Thanks CNA for always providing us with such educational documentaries. Steve, you are cute with your floss dance. Love
Calories aside, why didn't they compare the sodium and saturated/trans fat? Hotdog bun have lesser sugar but I think it would contain more fats and sodium.
Because there are a lot of misconception that fats and sodium are bad for the body when in fact sugar is actually the main cause for multiple cardiovascular diseases and as well as diabetes and obesity. Don't let the mega companies fool you on how dangerously addictive sugar is and how detrimental it is for our body!
I love it when Steven speaks mandarin LOLLLL do an episode of him taking mandarin classes! See if can improve anot then maybe I'll be inspired to improve too hahaha
All of them are unhealthy. Although the hot dog bun has the lowest sugar and calories, the sausage itself is a processed food and its linked to increased risk of colon cancer. Bottom line is, if you want to eat the healthiest buns, make it yourself. If you don't have time, then just grab a salad or a fruit instead.
Might preservatives/stabilisers/emulsifiers impeded digestion+nutrient absorption process? What other side effects might we need to be concerned about? Eg, effects on gut flora etc. Afterall, digestion rely on the same natural processes which these chemicals target.
