5. The Toxicity of Acrylamide

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.
