WARNING!
CANCER IN PACKETS & CANS
For years I have been aware of acrylamide ( a suspected carcinogen & neurotoxic chemical) being created when carbohydrate-rich foods are heated at high temperatures.
However, I wasn't aware of just how fa...r potato fries & chips were over the recommended safe level of acrylamide until I watched this video clip.
Spend 5 mins to hear the results of research into this chemical- it's well worth remembering if you are ever tempted!
Current advertising would have us believe that baked is better than fried, but hear the scientific facts for yourself.
The good news is that Pepsi Cola is planning a CELEBRITY CHIP MAKEOVER!
By 2020 they are planning to remove MSG & use natural colours from beets, carrots etc. But will they still use Flavour Enhancers? This remains to be seen.
It's also highly likely that the level of a acrylamide will just be below the required level to avoid needing a cancer warning label!
The solution- consume more raw or minimally processed foods.
Limit grilling & baking- steaming is safer.
Remember- the darker brown the food the more acrylamide present- e.g. dark brown toast compared to light brown toast.
