00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Bread is not bread, and it's absolutely horrible for you.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,780
See, to get the fluffy, sweet, delicious bread millions of Americans love to eat,

3
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:14,600
you need a few very special ingredients,

4
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:18,640
like potassium bromate, an additive that makes bread rise,

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:24,120
or azodicarbonamide, a chemical to bleach and strengthen the dough.

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,580
Do you know where else you can find these chemicals?

7
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:30,840
In yoga mats, pesticides, and even explosives.

8
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:34,080
And all these chemicals have one thing in common.

9
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:37,140
They can cause all sorts of cancer.

10
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:43,800
That's why the European Union, the UK, and even China have banned them from food production.

11
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:44,820
But not in America.

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,140
To this day, the FDA says these additives are generally recognized as safe to eat.
