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.
