Will Acrylamide cause cancer?

Apr 13,2026

Acrylamide can form during burning or high-heat processes. For example, it is produced when tobacco burns and in certain types of starchy foods when they are cooked at high temperatures. Lab studies show that acrylamide can cause a number of different types of cancer in animals when given at high levels. It is not clear how the study results translate to humans, as the doses of acrylamide given to the rats in these studies were much higher than would be eaten in a typical human diet.
