I didn’t know that my beloved toast was carcinogenic so this doesn’t feel like good news.

I’m hoping that the actual risk if getting cancer from toast is minimal since like a third of the world lives off of various wheat preparations.

    Yeah, I read the title and was like "Wait, what?"

    Now I gotta check if lightly toasting is better if there's no charred spots? The sunflower flax bread I have been using lately will toast with almost no browning, so maybe I'm ok.
