Overview
A Source of Carcinogenic Acrylamide
Dutch scientists believe that Acrylamide, a component found in French fries, potato chips, bread and coffee, can cause kidney cancer.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, individuals who eat the foods containing high levels of acrylamide are at a 59% greater risk of kidney cancer.
Maastricht University scientists claim each additional 10 micrograms of the chemical, increases kidney cancer risk by 10 percent. They believe the risk is higher in smokers.
