15. Packaged Bread
Packaged bread is a staple in many households, but you might rethink your choice after learning what’s in it. Many commercial breads include L-cysteine, an amino acid used to condition dough and extend shelf life. Here’s the kicker: L-cysteine is often derived from human hair or poultry feathers.
Why You Should Avoid It
Knowing that your bread could contain human hair or feathers is unsettling enough, but packaged bread also often contains high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and artificial additives. These ingredients can lead to weight gain, inflammation, and other health issues. Opt for freshly baked bread from a local bakery or make your own at home for a healthier alternative.
