Azodicarbonamide is
commonly found in frozen dinners and frozen potato and bread products. It is
used to make things like bleach and foamed plastics (you know, the things they
make yoga mats with, for instance).
Azodicarbonamide
has been banned in most European countries because it has been found to induce
asthma. It has been deemed so dangerous that in Singapore, if you are found to
use Azodicarbonamide in your products, you will receive a hefty $450,000 fine and
up to 15 YEARS IN PRISON.
According to the
FDA, however, "Azodicarbonamide is approved to be a bleaching agent in
cereal flour and is permitted for direct addition to food for human
consumption."
Who are they
kidding? Educate yourself, make your own, grow your own, eat whole foods, or
suffer the consequences of consuming products that contain ingredients not even
an ant would stand near.
