One week after proposing the removal of trans fats from food, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is targeting another fattening – and potentially harmful – ingredient: acrylamide.

Acrylamide is a chemical that forms in many plant-based foods during high-temperature cooking, such as frying or baking. It is often found in French fries, cereals, crackers and many other food products.

According to a recent report on the FDA website, stuides have found that high levels of acrylamide can increase the risk of cancer in animals – and many experts believe the risk likely translates to humans as well.

Some foods are larger sources of acrylamide in the diet, including certain potato products (especially French fries and potato chips), coffee,

Touch my coffee and cancer will be the least of your worries.

I think we should close amazon and excuse it by saying, “It’s to save the trees! You want to save the trees and prevent pollution from paper making, don’t you?!”

The 40 IQ Nazi overlords at FDA want us to graze like cattle and eat dandelions and wild alliums. Screeeewwww U, peckerheads. I’m going to hunt down your freezer and rob you of every T-bone steak and lobster extant in your sh*thole house. You got a problem with that, you purse-carrying 400-lb wimpy blob?

See my chef.

Oh goody. The idiots have found a new demon: Acrylamide. These same “experts” have cost my mom her health. She actually believed the news when they pushed margarine. She had a mild stroke and the docs verified what I have been telling her for the last 20 years: If the food you are going to eat has been created in a laboratory it is not good .

Avoid the FDA; in even low levels of them, their salary, benefits, and lifetime pension is cancerous to the economy.

Sheesh, if you can't even keep from playing the race card in a food article, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

So how many have died because of this? It doesn't say on the fda website.

If everybody doesn't immediately kowtow and start eating only rice cakes and recycled water and thank them profusely for their superior insight, probably a lot. They just bought 34 million rounds of 10mm or whatever.
