The British Journal of Cancer is publishing a joint Sweden-US study that says there is no correlation between the intake of acrylamides in food and the occurrence of cancer.
Acrylamides are found in products like potato chips and French fries.
While acrylamides have been classified as carcinogenic in animals, there had been differing opinions about their effect on human beings. The concern about acrylamides was raised because they are caused by the high-heat baking of starchy foods.

Told the family about this new study last night, and the kids definitely were relieved. Our 16-year-old thought from the beginning that acrylamide concerns were just the mad ravings of his middle-aged father…
Could he have been right?
