Acrylamide in Potato Chips

Potato chips are especially notorious for their high acrylamide levels with some brands exceeding the established limits significantly. There have been claims that Pringles causes cancer due to the acrylamide in the product but this was found to be not entirely truthful. Acrylamide has been deemed a possible carcinogen as it has connections to positive breast cancer estrogen receptor and studies have also determined a connection between ovarian cancer and postmenopausal endometrial cancer and elevated acrylamide intake.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o9GIJ9KyV38?ecver=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

“Still not convinced to put down the chips? A 2005 study conducted by the Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) demonstrated that potato chips surpass the legal limit of acrylamide levels by as little as 39 times and as much as 900 times!

Baked chips definitely aren’t the solution; the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that they may contain 3 times the amount of acrylamide as regular fried chips do. Let’s look specifically at Ore Ida’s Golden Fries: the traditional fried version contains 107 ppb, whereas the baked version contains 1098 ppb, very clearly showing that baked does not necessarily mean better.”
