A nutritionist has warned of the dangers of lovers of fluffy baked goods.

Buns, loaves and other types of white bread may contain a dangerous additive.

Nutritionist Tatyana Solntseva toldaif.ru about this secret harm.

The specialist emphasized that some private bakeries are guilty of adding semicarbazide, potassium bromate and calcium bromate to their baked goods.

All three of the above mentioned additives are oxidative flour "improvers" that actually only improve the appearance of the product.
