Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Browned
toast and potatoes are 'potential cancer risk', say food scientists
Acrylamide
[əˈkrɪl əˌmaɪd, -mɪd]. Another unhealthy substance in
food. It is said to increase the risk to cause cancer. It is found in various
kinds of food, especially in high-carbo foods such as potatoes, bread and
cereals. The bad news is that this substance is also produced when such foods
are heated at a high temperature, like brown toast and potato chips.
Though
not everyone is convinced that acrylamide causes cancer to humans, it is
advised that overcooking of such starchy foods should be avoided.
The
bottom line is to make and eat food moderately to avoid other cancer-causing
factors, such as obesity and imbalanced nutrition.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if you know any other cancer-causing foods or recipes.
