    Take care not to make statements so inaccurate they are effectively meaningless.

    1. “US white bread” isn’t a singular brand and most brands don’t “contain[s] a carcinogen”…

    2. You never mentioned what the carcinogen was. Probably because it would compromise your argument that “US white bread” as a whole contains it when it does not. (It’s Potassium Bromate/Bromide (it’s used interchangeably online sometimes), for those wondering.)

    3. It’s not limited to white bread in where it can be used. It was an additive to flour in general.

    4. A lot of the fear mongering blogs, written by ‘influencers’ whose research consists of 10 seconds of Googling but not verifying a single fucking thing they write about, name brands that contain potassium bromate… but actually don’t. Example: Wonder bread (https://wonderbread.ca/our_products/white-bread-675g/) Chex Mix. Looking up their ingredients list shows the item in question is not used at all. https://www.chexmix.com/products/chex-mix-traditional/

    TLDR: Think before you repeat vague, meaningless shit next time.

    BTW, You should look into the horrors of Dihydrogen Monoxide.
