The cancer-linked food additive potassium bromate is banned in Europe, Canada and many other countries but it is commonly used in U.S. foods. You'll find it in breads, pastries, bagels and many other baked goods.
Yet a half a century of scientific research links this chemical to various cancers, along with thyroid disease, kidney damage, gut irritation and reproductive abnormalities.
Our new fact sheet describes decades of medical research on potassium bromate and political action to protect health, including a recently enacted ban in California. Please share: Potassium bromate: 50 years of research shows serious health risks <https://usrtk.org/chemicals/potassium-bromate>
Over 1 million people have read our fact sheets <https://usrtk.org/category/chemicals> about food chemicals and pesticides.
Good news for transparency: U.S. Right to Know won a court hearing last week against the University of North Carolina about documents of Ralph Baric possibly related to the origin of Covid-19. We asked the judge for an in-camera review of the documents, and appointment of a special master. The judge granted both. We’ll keep you updated.
We’re suing the Defense Intelligence Agency and State Dept: This week we filed a FOIA lawsuit <https://usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/USRTK-v-DIA-111023.pdf>against the DIA for reports and records of communication about the early circumstances surrounding COVID-19 in its epicenter, Wuhan, China. Specifically, we asked for records related to findings by the National Center for Medical Intelligence, a DIA component responsible for medical & health intelligence.
We also filed a FOIA lawsuit <https://usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/USRTK-v-State-03412-111423.pdf> against the State Department for records about its knowledge of and investigation of the origins of COVID-19, including a memorandum of conversation between <https://usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Biegun-to-Stilwell.jpg> Christopher Ford, former Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, and Stephen Biegun, former Deputy Secretary of State; and, communications between Biegun and Health and Human Services or the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
These are the 26th and 27th lawsuits we have filed <https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/foi-litigation-on-origins-of-sars-cov-2-gain-of-function-2/> under the Freedom of Information laws to obtain documents related to the origin of COVID-19, gain-of-function research and related matters.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Notice there are links. Don't know if they are biased. I have not read them all, but the FOIA requests are all there, and I suppose what was asked has not been provided or there would be no lawsuit.
The bromide problem is real and not new. After my brother left the Army he worked at a bakery until he retired. When ownership changed, the union negotiated with the bakery to have the amount of bromide reduced by half. It makes the products rise faster. To this day he won't eat store bought bread.
And all the other chemical problems are also real.
It is well know that pesticides that should be outlawed are still being used, also chemicals in processed foods that are damaging to health and outlawed elsewhere.
I think it is about perspective. "Exposing corporate wrongdoing and government failures that may threaten public health" is not their purpose. It is a result of a lack of cooperation, and worse lying about problems that exist when there are efforts to minimize public health problems.
Of course the organization will be maligned by uncooperative agencies with a pseudoscience label when something like "the National Center for Medical Intelligence, a DIA component responsible for medical & health intelligence" is stated.
Probably not common knowledge, and that connection certainly sounds "interesting" doesn't it.
