Google tells me that the “the crust has more nutrients” thing may stem from a 2002 study which found pronyl-lysine (which supposedly helps prevent cancer) at much higher concentration in crust vs the rest of the bread. The search results seem mixed on whether it’s true; CNN says no, but my top result says yes.
