Did you know that “azodiacarbonamide,” a plastic-based
additive found in yoga mats and shoe soles, is also an ingredient in the breads
at Subway? The chemical helps produce the air in the foam yoga mats, and it
does the same for the bread. An activist blogger took action by getting over
57,000 individuals to sign her petition to Subway to remove this dangerous
chemical from the ingredient list. The World Health Organization has found a
relationship between this chemical additive to respiratory issues, allergies
and asthma. Azodiacarbonamide is currently banned in Europe and Australia, but
legal in the U.S. and Canada. Subway announced last week that they will be
removing the chemical, you can thank activist blogger, Vani Hari.
