The French psychologist at the University of Southern Bretagne concluded that people become more kind to those around them including those who do not know under the influence of toast.

The aroma of freshly baked bread often reminds us of the warm image of a family living in fullness and harmony. Most people admit that bread at that time tasted exceptionally well.

However, psychologists claim that the crunchy bread not only positively affects the taste but also the sense of smell. They explained why it makes us generous, easy-going, like helping others, even those we don't know at all.
