Starchy foods should only be cooked until golden yellow to cut the risk of ingesting dangerous acrylamide, experts have recently stated, according to a new research.
Eating certain foods that have been cooked at high temperatures could be linked to cancer.
- Breakfast Cereals (except porridge)
- Cooked Pizza bases
- Black Olives
- Cereal-based baby foods
- Sweet potatoes
When these foods are cooked at high temperatures, above 120 degrees Celsius, a chemical compound forms, called acrylamide.
Studies on MICE have shown that high levels of this compound can cause neurological damage and cancer.
