Note that it is not something added to foods; rather, it forms in certain foods after cooking. Acrylamide has raised some interest because some studies show that animals fed <A target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/chem/acrylamide_faqs/en/index1.html">high levels of acrylamide developed cancer</A>. Many ongoing studies are investigating whether low levels of acrylamide in foods pose a health risk to humans.

Generally, the cooking methods associated with the formation of acrylamide are roasting, baking, and frying.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.healthcastle.com/acrylamide.shtml">How Can I Avoid Acrylamide?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.healthcastle.com/acrylamide.shtml">The Bottom Line</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0533723B-5BA6-4CDD-9216-4C98B98385A7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
