Hot cross buns enjoy a position of their own which is unshakeable and the bun is a favourite among a majority. But a recent advice from the health magazine Diabetes New Zealand relates it to obesity.
The magazine warned that hot cross buns are equivalent to two or three slices of bread and the seasonal treat could lead you towards obesity. Public health nutritionist Bronwen King says that eating a hot cross bun dripped in butter may help feed the obesity epidemic.
As of late the fruit bun has been coming in six packs with extra chocolate chips in them and are sometimes with two extra free.
And this is the reason for a health warning from dieticians that is now attached with the Easter favourites.
‘Eat half a bun or eat a smaller one’ is the motto to be followed if you want to remain in shape or else your hot cross bun could be your ticket to the dreaded world of obesity.
