Studies conducted last year revealed that some foods contain a potentially carcinogenic substance. It was found that chips, bread and cookies contain relatively high amounts of acrylamide, but it was not clear to what extent the feed acrylamide affected health.
Now, the Britsh Journal of Cancer has published a study in Sweden. This study compared the diet of 987 cancer patients to 538 healthy people, and the results show that high consumption of acrylamide foods does not appear to increase the risk of cancer.
