Acrylamide content of most foods remains a mystery

January 16, 2007 - Acrylamide content of most foods remains a mystery

Tuesday, January 16, 2007 by: Erin BatesTags: Acrylamides, junk food, fried foodsConsumers are finding it impossible to get data on acrylimides in their favorite baked or fried snacks, because nobody puts acrylamide in food. Since they are not added to food -- much like cholesterol -- it's not required to be listed on the label. The agent is a byproduct of cooking starchy food at high temperatures....

Say no to acrylamide: The 4 health risks associated with french fries

March 23, 2019 - acrylamide, a carcinogenic and neurotoxic agent. Acrylamide is found in foods fried at higher temperatures of more than 365 F. Fetuses and newborns are more susceptible to the effects of acrylamide since their blood-brain barrier still isn't fully developed.

According to a study published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, baking, frying, or roasting starchy foods at higher temperatures produces acrylamide. To limit your intake of acrylamide, ...

Acrylamide, the probable carcinogen

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, acrylamide is a probable carcinogen. This chemical may form in certain foods that are exposed to high levels of heat during cooking or processing. (Related: Acrylamide in Foods is a Major ‘Human Health Concern’ – International Researchers Report.)

What is acrylamide?

Acrylamide is an odorless chemical used in different industries, including construction, textiles, and cosmetics. It is mostly used to produce polyacrylamide, a compound that treats effluent (sewage or liquid waste) from various industrial processes and water treatment operations.

However, it occurs naturally as well. In fact, cooking starchy foods using high temperatures produces this compound -- a process called the Malliard ...

Fried foods, especially overcooked potatoes, dramatically increase cancer risk

August 03, 2018 -

When foods are cooked at high temperatures or over 120 degrees Celsius, a chemical compound called acrylamide forms. This chemical compound can trigger cancer cell growth. Fried foods, especially fried potatoes, contain the highest amounts of acrylamide.

Apparently, acrylamide can also be found in other foods, such as packed crackers, cookies, dry cereals, toasted nuts, peanut butter, canned black olives, prune juice, and roasted cocoa beans....

The proposed ruling zeroes in on the carcinogen acrylamide, which is found in the roasting process. It is released when foods are prepared at high heat, including roasting, deep frying, and grilling. The Council for Education and Research on Toxins has sued coffee makers to get them to remove acrylamide from their beverages or post a warning on their products. But coffee makers said removing acrylamide would ruin their products' flavor. For his part, ...

California overturns ruling on coffee warnings: There is no link between coffee and cancer

November 28, 2019 - acrylamide, which has been identified by the state as a carcinogen since the ‘90s, there is no direct link between the chemical and cancer, and roasting coffee produces it at levels that are far too low to be considered risky in any case.

The warning was part of California’s Proposition 65, a state law that requires consumers be warned about every item that contains one of the chemicals appearing on a list of those known to cause birth defects or cancer, regardless ...
