On the bread wrapper, it lists the Nutrition Facts for two slices of bread. If
these two slices of bread are toasted, would any of these values change???

Maybe your friend Emeril would know? Just a thought. You can email

Given the browning reactions that are necessary to make toast I can't
help but think it would reduce the nutritional contents, at least
somewhwat.

Toasting, regardless to what degree, is a form of burning (oxidizing)...
burning calories can take place outside the body or inside. Besides the
decrease in calories, heat also destroys some vitamins and causes evaporation
of water. Any food that is incinerated by whatever slight degree will have
also lost some portion of its nutritional value... in fact any cooking
whatsoever will always diminish a food's nutritional content.... only humans
can afford to be so extravagant that they waste food through cooking.

Not really. The water content will change of course, but the amount of
fats etc wouldn't.
