A mouse in a loaf of Hovis Best of Both bread which was bought by Stephen Forse, from Kidlington, Oxfordshire, purchased online from Tesco, through a store in Bicester.

@Sydni - Odd the coffee report, about a year and half ago, an opposite study came out, indicating that cafeine caused blood sugar to rise (not related to any added sugar to the cup) "just like diabetes", in the same way that sleep deprivation tests cause temporary diabetes conditions. I'll have to search for that study.

Just goes to prove... nutritional studies just contradict themselves year after year for decades now, they seem completely untrustworthy. It makes me think that there are research biases based on funding.
