Al-Marsad Newspaper: Director of the Health Food Department at the Food and Drug Authority, Faisal bin Snaid, revealed that the authority banned the use of “potassium bromate” in baked goods 10 years ago because it may cause cancer.
He explained that this substance is added to bread to enhance the flavor and give it a puff that makes its shape beautiful, but it was found through one study that it may cause cancer, so it was banned.
In the same context, nutritionist Dima Al-Hajri said that the substance “potassium bromate” caused tumors in some of the kidneys in women and the thyroid gland in men, as well as bromate poisoning, whose symptoms include nausea, colic and diarrhea, and it is banned in several countries except America.
