Potassium bromate (an oxidizer also called bromate flour) helps bread rise while fueling cancer cells of the kidneys and thyroid. Azodicarbonamide (ACA or "AZO"), the chemical compound used to make those bubbles in plastic and foam, is also used to bleach bread white. The human consumption implication? Again, cancer.
Most humans would object to eating industrial chemicals, if they knew about them in the first place, and had any self-control and value of life. It's just plain common sense, but who really knows the truth here in the U.S.A., where the FDA and CDC do the exact OPPOSITE of what they are supposed to do, which would be to keep consumers safe and healthy. Here, the FDA and CDC collude with big business and purposely approve and help promote food and medicine that contain known carcinogens, nervous system disruptors, and cancer-causing agents.
In other major developed nations around the globe, the government's regulatory agencies guard the health of their citizens, but in the USA, it's a huge money maker to fool consumers into eating chemicals and then taking chemical medicine for the pain, anxiety and anguish. In China, the U.K., and Brazil, they outlaw chemicals in bread, and have done so for decades.
Mountains of scientific evidence prove chemicals in food cause cancer and dementia. That goes for bleach, pesticides, and foaming agents. Still, the FDA lies and says they're too broke to examine the problems. Wait, what? That's what you're paid to do.
The "big guns" had to remove the "AZO" (Azodicarbonamide) chemical from their bread formulas thanks to the "Food Babe" Vani Hari, who's relentless assault of paperwork and research forced them to fess up and lose some of the cancer food, but most fast food is laced with pesticides that kill weeds, bugs, rats and humans anyway. So there's that.
How many companies have phased out deadly bread chemicals? We may never know, because the FDA promotes them, lying and claiming they're "generally recognized as safe." By who, the people that already died of cancer from eating them? Who's in "compliance" now? The CDC won't help either. They approve mercury in vaccines and recommend them for 6-month-young infants and pregnant mothers. What a farce.
Regulatory agencies in the U.S.A. are paid NOT to look into dangerous ingredients in common foods, including bread, grains, pasta, children's cereals and infant formula. The Biotechnology industry led by Bayer/Monsanto also runs the FDA with former CEOs, VPs and lobbyists who love FDA's open door policy. U.S. bread is LOADED with pesticides, bleach, and GMOs.
Subject to strict restrictions overseas, BHA and BHT are commonly used in baked goods here in America. While causing cancer tumors in humans and lab-tested animals, these chemical food agents keep mold from growing so quickly on bread, making the most popular bread companies a fortune. In so many words, these companies couldn't care any less about their consumer's health, since they know good and well they're "killing them softly" with chemicals (pun intended). Maybe that's why they call it "Wonder" bread, because you have to wonder what happens to your health after you eat it.
Industrial food agents are just like canola oil, they never spoil because they're not really food, they're chemicals. That's why nearly every pre-mixed salad at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Wegmans is loaded with canola oil. It's all about the money.
Then, the FDA always lies and says there's not enough BHA, or BHT, or bleach, or canola acid (rape seed oil), or AZO to make you sick or give you cancer. Really? How does the FDA know how much of these chemicals 200 million Americans are eating daily? Last we heard, they were so broke they couldn't research chemicals in our bread, so how did they find the money, time, and research hours to know all this? Maybe "GRAS" doesn't really stand for "generally recognized as safe" but rather "generally recognized as sickening."
