Dont Eat That Burnt Toast

[piggynose]

So think twice when chomping on that over done last peice of toast.
Acrylamide is this cancerous substance which we're told is in burnt toast, crisps+ microwaved spuds.
I havent got a link cuz it wss overly long.

Its nuts really, governments have allowed manufactures to feed us poison. We have supermarkets that are brimming over with a multitude of cleaning products/ chemicals, all claiming to be for a particular area in and outside of our homes, and this is without counting the chemicals used in manufacture of other goods. Sooner or later it finds its way into our body.

What do we do? well this is the hilarious bit, we spend millions, and raise millions for research, in the hope of finding new drugs and treatment to combat all the above. Crazy or what??

You shouldn't eat anything chargrilled either and Teflon apparently is carcinogenic so time for some to update their pots and pans.

Doesn't the queen eat burnt toast to prevent flatulence? Urban myth?

[teacake44]

Getting back to the burnt toast, you have a choice, you can eat it, or pop another one in the toaster. With what is manufactured you don't have much choice because half the time you don't know what you're eating, even in what should be basic food products.

When I read all the warnings from the food industry I'm surprised I've made it into my 70s. Love burnt toast and have a packet of plain crisps every night - it's my daily treat. Was always told as a child that burnt toast made your hair curly lol

[teacake44]

When we were kids toast was done in front of a coal fire, and that was dinner a lot of the time, should we burn it, we just scrapped it off, if we didn't care for it, but most times we liked it that way. Burnt toast today is just a distraction to what we should be looking at, and STOPPING! they wonder why so many people are going down with cancer, and not just one sort. Its madness that we carry on ignoring the obvious.

//Yes, it is formed during frying etc but I've never come across anyone who can provide cast-iron evidence on the matter.//

That it can cause cancer , do you mean ?

[david small]

Good grief. Something else to be scared of. Live life, don’t fear it. You only die once, a coward dies a thousand times.

Baz, I was very involved in the food industry for a long time, there may be some truth in the burnt item? But what I will say is I left the food industry back in and around the 90s, Why, it was disgusting what they started to do to perfectly good food to increase profits. (When they started to call it food Technology) since then it has just got worse.

Bazile, yes, there is no cast-iron evidence that acrylamide can cause cancer in humans.
I've read papers discussing the carcinogenic effects of acrylamide in rodents over the past few years too. There are major differences in the metabolism of acrylamide in rodents and humans yet many academics would have you believe that the metabolic pathways of acrylamide in rodents and humans are similar. They are not. This is where some of these scares have originated.
