"The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration recently discovered that Danish cinnamon rolls and twists contained more coumarin — a chemical compound in the most common variety of cinnamon — than EU rules allow. Excessive intake of coumarin can cause liver damage.
So the agency asked Danish bakers to reduce the amount of cinnamon they sprinkle in the dough for sweet treats like the "kanelsnegel" (cinnamon roll) and "kanelstang" (cinnamon twist).
Danish bakers protested, saying the EU limit is too strict, and would make it hard, if not impossible, to make their cherished pastries."

Who cares if Danish pastries can't be made any more - it's what's best for you that counts! No sweet rolls, no Coke, no this, no that, jump higher, roll over, fetch, give me your paw! Is this where we Americans want to end up? Not this American.
