A Tale of Two Halides Opinion
Empty Calorie, Mineral Deficient, Low Fiber, Nutritionally \Non-dense Food
By: - Mar 03rd, 2015Among other insights our science correspondent reveals that "Forty and fifty years ago, Iodine, in the form of Sodium Iodate, was routinely added to American bakery products, both as a dough conditioner and a nutritional supplement. Then, of course because it was cheaper, Big Food started adding Bromates instead. These not only contain no Iodine, but are also capable of displacing it. Our FDA likes to say that all the Bromates (which are banned in the EU and UK) in dough will become the less-toxic Bromides in the processes of flour “ripening,†rising, and baking.'" It is likely that you didn't know that.
