Cancerous carbs? Time to steer clear of bread for a while!

Nagpur, May 24 (ANI): A study by a Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment revealed that more than 80% of 38 popular brands of breads, buns and ready-to-eat burger and pizza tested positive for potassium bromate and iodate. The first of the two chemicals is a category 2B carcinogen – that can possibly cause cancer – and the second is known to trigger thyroid disorder. People when quizzed on this incident said it is something new that they have heard but lifestyle changes might cause such diseases. Indian manufacturers use potassium bromate and potassium iodate for treating flour while making bread, the study said.
