What is Acrylamide?

 

Acrylamide is a chemical that forms when starch foods are cooked under high-temperature above 120°C . Cooking these foods at such temperatures results in a chemical reaction between asparagine and certain sugars in the food, forming acrylamide. These cooking processes include baking, roasting, toasting, grilling and frying. Acrylamide is usually formed from an amino acid and sugars found in food naturally. You will also find it in cigarette smoke. It does not originate from the environment or from food packaging.

Research in rodents has discovered that exposure to acrylamides is a risk factor for a few types of cancer. Acrylamide gets into the body and is converted into glycidamide compound causing DNA mutations and damage. However, research in humans has not resulted in consistent evidence demonstrating that exposure to acrylamide in potato chips is connected to risks for any cancer. Reason being that it could be difficult to determine an individual’s intake of acrylamide depending on their reported diet.

Cancer in a can

Pringles are full of hazardous ingredients that make them one of the most toxic, processed foods you can eat. One of the most concerning is a chemical by-product known as acrylamide. Acrylamide is a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical that is created when foods rich in carbohydrates are cooked at high temperatures.
