Potassium Bromate: The Hidden Carcinogen in Your Daily Bread?

About this episode

In today's episode we're uncovering the dark side of common baked goods by examining Potassium Bromate, a powerful oxidizing agent used to strengthen dough.

Despite being linked to kidney cancer, thyroid disease, and DNA damage, this additive remains legal in the U.S. while being banned in Europe, Canada, and China.

We explore 50 years of research highlighting its toxicity, the recent ban in California, and why it was "grandfathered" into our food supply.
