    Ah yes, the thing I’m most concerned about giving me cancer: toast.

    Not the microplastics, environmental pollution or stress of living in the collapse of modern civilization 🫠 /s

      I know you’re joking, but we can make progress on multiple fronts simultaneously.

    Does it make the bread taste like shit? Because I don’t give a fuck about toast carcinogens but if we’re forced to accept safer bread that tastes weird I’m not buying it. Like that god awful Iron kids bread. Only people who hate children could conceive such a product.

      Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency. Supplementing like this is a massive benefit to society in quality of life and reduced healthcare costs, so I would not call people trying to reduce deficiencies kid-hating.

      <real talk>It’s worth it to make time for small pleasures in life, like a fresh toast. No matter how busy life gets I won’t let anyone take those things away.</real talk>

    I think I’d rather just risk it with normal bread. The additives and preservatives are probably worse for me than the toasty bits.

    Just stop setting your normal bread on fire…
    Ofcourse “normal” bread is already a chemically laden substance in the US, no wonder its extra carcinogenic when toasted.

      a fraction of a percent of a couple preservatives (with wide safety margins) is hardly “chemically laden”. that’s just blatant emotionally charged language to push a naturalist agenda.

      Food spoilage is a major issue, we need preservatives (in safe quantities) to keep food safe to eat as long as possible.

        Not to mention, the acrylamide is formed from the amino acids naturally present in the grains, which is what this whole article is about.
