Have you ever read the ingredient lists of grocery store bread?
They are loaded with preservatives because they need to sit on a shelf for weeks without going bad and other chemicals that have no business being in bread.
An easy health swap you can do in your life is to stop buying bread from the grocery store and start making it yourself.
It is simple, and your health will benefit.
I don’t have to wonder what calcium propionate or other weird ingredients are doing in my body anymore.
My favorite thing to do is smother my bread with butter SO GOOD!

Bread is always best made fresh like that. The freezer helps extend shelf life at home.
You mentioned calcium propionate as a preservative. You also mentioned butter. Calcium propionate occurs naturally in butter. Cheese as well. It's "generally recognized as safe" but of course also has nasty side effects. It's possible people buttering their store bought well preserved bread concoction are ingesting far too much. They add the stuff to the bread at a level they think is safe, but maybe don't account for what the consumer adds to their bread once they get it home. That preservative is also in some sandwich meats. People are eating that stuff in layers...
Bread never lasts long enough with me for the freezer yet lol
Good information as well! They say that about many things that it's safe in the amount of what's in the product but I doubt they account for all the other things people consume in the day resulting in I would think many unsafe levels.
I enjoy baking bread, but in my case it's with a bread maker. Either way, the house smells terrific and my family enjoys the results. Personal fave it a tie between the Italian loaf or the cinnamon raisin bread.
