An extension of the point above, this is a conclusion that I came to a few months back. Early last year, a study found that 84% of 38 common brands of pre-packaged breads tested positive for potassium bromate and potassium iodate. Both these additives have been banned in many countries across the world due to their hazardous effects on the body and for being potential carcinogens. This fuelled me to research further and I realised that the mass-produced breads we buy off the shelf do more damage than good. Since then, my breakfast rarely consists of bread, it is more about parathas (with just a drop of oil), poha or dishes that can be cooked from scratch at home. This may seem inconvenient, but the health benefits are manifold.
