More scare mongering.
Acrylamide naturally occurs when you cook.
Acrylamide is found in large levels in bread, french fries and coffee.
And unless I’ve missed something, I don’t see people dying of cancer eating bread.
So if your afraid of acrylamide, you pretty much have to stop eating any form of cooked carbohydrates.

You hit the nail on the head. Shouldn't people be dying or at least getting cancer right and left if it is so dangerous? That's the part they always leave out. If A causes B, well, how many of B are there?
By the way, this sounds like a press release from those whackos at, "Center for Science in the Public Interest".

The chips are sprayed with anti-bloating agents. These compounds when heated during the heating process cause changes to chemicals used to preserve the products, such as the real potato flavor or RPF. RPF is sprayed on chips during the final cooling process so they retain that real potato flavor. RPF, when mixed with salt, can actually cause bloat in humans. Studies on lab rodents, exposed to RPF and anti bloating agents are suspected to increase cancer rates in the lab rodents.
But doesn’t this dovetail nicely with the First Cow’s ‘eat healthy’ initiative?
The question is how did they ever manage to ban Acrylamide in drinking water to a level 1/1000th that of french fries?
