Researchers don't know the exact effects of acrylamide in humans. Animal studies indicate numerous detrimental effects, including cancer and tumors, but information on humans is scarce due to a lack of findings in past research and a lack of substantial information about acrylamide content in foods. What scientists do know is that the chemical is a potential neurotoxin, genotoxin, carcinogen, developmental toxin, and reproductive toxin.
