Avoiding them for health reasons

Every few years, a new diet trend emerges, along with a new study or group claiming that certain foods are unhealthy. Carbohydrates have long been thought to be bad for the waistline, and some celebrities have gone years without even looking at bread in order to maintain a certain body image. All of this carb aversion includes the humble English muffin, though they aren't as bad for you as you might think.

According to SF Gate, English muffins are relatively healthy in terms of nutrition. English muffins contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that are essential for overall health and bodily function. Even when compared to slices of wheat bread, English muffins were healthier in some ways. English muffins have fewer calories than two slices of wheat bread combined. A wheat English muffin contains approximately 100 milligrams of calcium, compared to approximately 80 milligrams in slices of wheat bread.
