Fried Foods, Acrylamide and Cancer

Goodnight all,

This article is about the acrylamide that is found in carbohydrate rich fried foods. According to Swedish researchers, minuscule amounts of acrylamide is formed when frying, baking, and roasting foods such as potatoes.

The one great thing about this article is that the amount of acrylamide found in our food is so minuscule that we not worry about it causing cancer. Health experts have even stated that we have been cooking our food since the discovery of fire, so we are not risking our health by cooking.
