Khaberni - While many people are accustomed to toasting bread slices and consuming them for breakfast to provide the body with needed carbohydrates, confident that this method is healthy and not harmful, health experts have warned of "significant" risks that a slice of "toast" bread could carry.
A study released by the University of Texas at Houston, earlier, revealed that the toaster, candles, and other smoke-emitting items expose people to pollution exceeding that recorded at traffic junctions.
Researcher Marina Vence says the most dangerous thing about the bread toaster is that it triggers rapid reactions that send toxic particles into the air as soon as it is turned on.
The study reported that toasting a slice of bread to the point of burning is harmful to health, and therefore, it is better for people keen on this meal to merely heat the "toast".
The damages are not limited to these devices, as the study also highlighted other polluting particles emitted by cleaning machines alongside spray products, according to what was reported by "New York Post".
Past medical studies have alerted to a potential link between the consumption of "toast" sandwiches and the incidence of cancer, considering the chemical reactions that occur in the food due to burning.
