"L-cysteine is a flour conditioner used in bread manufacturing to make high-protein flours softer and fluffier when baked. What most people don't know is that L-cysteine is obtained by boiling feathers and hog's hair."
"Supermarkets and industrial dough fabricators can choose not to declare some important facts about when, where, how and with what food is made. If something is deemed to be a 'processing aid' rather than an additive, it doesn't have to be listed on the label."
"Each individual additive has been tested and declared safe. What hasn't been tested, however, is whether there are any negative effects of consuming the cocktail of additives and far-from-natural ingredients."
Many processed foods contain disturbing additives, some of which are legally allowed in high amounts. Ingredients like L-cysteine, derived from feathers and hog's hair, are used to improve texture in bread but often go unlisted on labels. Experts express concern over the cumulative effects of these additives on health, as individual safety tests do not account for the combined impact of multiple ingredients. Consumers may be unaware of the origins of these 'natural' additives, which can include unexpected sources.
