ADC is another flour improver and bleaching agent that has been used by commercial bakers since the 1960s to strengthen dough. ‘Concerns about ADC include two chemicals that form when the bread is baked,’ explains Amidor. ‘The first chemical is semicarbazide (SEM), which has been linked to cancer of the lungs and blood vessels in mice, but not in rats, and the second chemical is urethane, which has been linked to cancer.’
