potassium bromate
According to Dr. Leonard Coldwell's website:
________________________________________________________________________
Baked goods sold in USA contain potassium bromate, a carcinogen banned in Europe but allowed in the US due to chemical loophole
Much of the flour sold in the United States has been treated with potassium bromate, which causes the flour to bulk up, strengthens the dough, and makes bread rise more rapidly. This decreases the time needed for baking (thereby reducing costs) and also allows the use of low quality flour that might otherwise be unsuitable for baking. There’s only one problem with this:Potassium bromate causes cancer.

This explains why sometimes baked goods taste funny and give me a headache. Soft pretzels at the chain kiosk at the mall give me a bad headache. Recently California Pizza kitchen's pizzas started doing this. The bread at Safeway maybe has this stuff too. Organic breads taste better and are far less likely to give me a headache.
Thanks again FDA!
