Move over, complicated lunch salads with unaffordable ingredients that are nowhere to be found. The old-fashioned sandwich is back. If it ever really went away. Craving a sandwich? If you want to keep it a bit healthy, you better not sprinkle or spread this topping on your bread.

We are spoiled these days with all the sandwich spreads available in the supermarket. The latest innovation: slices with frikandel flavor. A phenomenon among frikandel lovers, hell for those who are disgusted by the fried meat stick. Prefer something sweet? There are countless types of sprinkles available (of which this is the tastiest). The same goes for jam and chocolate spread. Heavenly sandwich toppings, but your dentist will not be happy with your obsession. What is the absolute unhealthiest thing to put on your bread? You might be surprised – or not.

UNHEALTHY SWEET SPRINKLE AND SPREAD
Anyone who wants to ensure a cavity at the dentist should keep sprinkling fruit sprinkles on their bread. It turns out to be the unhealthiest of all sweet sandwich toppings that exist. With 15 grams of fruit sprinkles on your bread, you consume 14.7 grams of sugar. To put that into perspective: that's 3.5 sugar cubes per slice. Ouch. Flakes and sprinkles are also not the best choice if you want to watch your health. This sprinkle topping contains 10.5 grams and 9.7 grams of sugar per 15-gram serving, respectively. When it comes to unhealthy sweet spreads, honey takes the crown. In a 15-gram serving, there are no less than 12 grams of sugar. 20 grams of apple syrup contains 11.6 grams of sugar and the same amount of jam has 10.2 grams. Crazy about chocolate spread? Then realize that with a 20-gram serving, you consume 12.2 grams of sugar.

UNHEALTHY SAVORY
Savory sandwich spreads are not always healthy either. They often contain a lot of fat and salt. Just look at Gelderse sausage: 28 grams of fat (of which 10 grams are saturated fat) and 2.3 grams of salt in a 100-gram serving. Liver sausage doesn't score well either. It contains 28.4 grams of fat, of which 9.2 grams are saturated. You'd be better off choosing lean meats like chicken breast – although the fat and salt content of that is also quite high.
