“LOL! You might could start a racket there if you got some stupid EPA or DHS regulation mandate that all pringles must be destroyed in a certain way.....Of Course you and well conected people would have a “Pringles Waiver”......”
LOL. I am happy if i am in the potato chip connection.:)
Comfortable w my Lays Sour Cream & Onions, I’m munching on....
This boogey man about acrylamide is just more junk science designed to scare.
Acrylamide is created when a starch, like potato, hits heat like cooking oil. Cavemen were eating acrylamide and it is also present in organic bran muffins. (Starch + heat = acrylamide)
Now if one works in a factory where highly concentrated and purified acrylamide is being produced, then appropriate precautions are necessary, i.e., rubber suits, etc.
THE LARGEST COMMERCIAL USE FOR POLYACRYLAMIDE (PAM)IS WATER PURIFICATION IN MUNICIPLE WATER SYSTEMS!!!
For additional acrylamide information see: http://www.acrylamidefacts.org/
So basically, eating 600 lbs of potato chips would be the equivalent cancer risk as ten seconds in a TSA airport scanner.
The concept of toxicity being dependent on dosage levels completely escapes (or is rejected by) some of our self-appointed guardians.
All this twaddle reminds me of my leaving for the stockyards years ago, where I was an auctioneer, and was asked by my fastidious mother-in-law if I’d have dinner before leaving. When I said I was going to eat at the stockyards she cringed and replied,”Eeewww! Are you going to eat there close to all that manure?! And I said, yes, I BREATHE there close to all that manure!
If we had any idea what’s in the air we breathe every second of our lives, whatever is in Pringles, etc., would be mighty small potatoes.....pun intended.
Or, as is posted in a cigar lounge I frequent in the Harrisburg, PA area: “Smoking is safer than Liberalism!”
Not in the chemical way, no.
Sounds like a Michell ad.Some facts some not.
Awe, don't despair. Just eat the Tater Tots raw.
A virtuous, health-conscious parent such as I would never bring such awful, cancerous “food” as Pringles into my home. Yet, somehow Santa Claus always leaves little packs of Pringles in our Christmas stockings. Also, they sneak into the car on long road trips.
It’s just one of life’s happy mysteries.
Heh, when my kids would tell me that they would’nt eat certain foods I told them “that leaves more for me to eat and enjoy”.
My maternal grandfather lived to be a month short of 100 and he ate all of these “bad” foods and more every day of his long life while outliving all but the last in a long string of doctors.
Another bit of nonsense recycled from years ago. fried foods, baked foods, roasted, boiled and broiled foods....all will kill you so quit eating and live a long life!
In the end, you're gonna die anyway. Therefore, eat lots of microwave popcorn, down the dogs, have a good belch after you drink the soda and enjoy life!
Great!! 20 years later they tell us.
HUGH and SERIES.
WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
Eventually.
No one gets off of this world alive.
