>> The FDA allowed the use of bromate before the Delaney clause of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act—which bans potentially carcinogenic substances—went into effect in 1958.

>> However, since 1991 the FDA has urged bakers to voluntarily stop using it.

yeah we can see how that worked out... the FDA is perfect and changing them in any way, shape or form would destroy THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. (for the industries using that stuff)

Absolutely nobody said anything of the sort, and I'm not sure what your goal is in caricaturing the position of people with somewhat different opinions than you.

that is a quote from wikipedia. i wanted to display what a papertiger the FDA really is. _begging_ an industry to stop using potentially harmful substances? -.- come on...

thats also to show how this is not a case of "not guilty until proven otherwise" the fda wants this to stop but doesnt seem to have any foothold in that attempt...
