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.

    I would argue that toasting your bread to the point where there's significant acrylamide on it is making bread taste like shit to begin with.

    Just don't burn your bread and you'll be fine.
