Absolutely not preserved potatoes in the fridge

In fact, many foods thought as "gentle", harmless, such as coffee, bread, biscuits ... can also lead to cancer.

Topping the list of foods with the highest content of acrylamide is chips, coffee, pastries, biscuits, bread, assorted

Research by scientists in Norway, Switzerland, the uk and the Us were then clarification issue: not only had the potato starch that foods plant origin rich in carbohydrates, low in protein when it is processed with the method requires high temperatures (> 120 degrees C) as FRY , spin, bake, acrylamide have appeared.

Not preserved potatoes in the fridge and before processing soaked for about 30 minutes to eliminate cancer-causing compounds.

This phenomenon does not see that happening in the food of animal origin such as meat, milk, seafood ... well as food plant origin but processed at low temperatures such as boiled, steamed.

This was due to being heated at high temperature, asparagine (a type of amino acid) and sugar in food is natural vegetation will react with each other to form acrylamide. Topping the list of foods with the highest content of acrylamide is potato chips (including the type of order processing in the family and the kind of pre-packaged), coffee, pastries, biscuits, breads of all kinds.

Things are in the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are considered as acrylamide in food is a serious concern. Study on animals showed this substance increases the risk of some cancers.

In person, however, still needs more research to clarify the mechanism of action of acrylamide and the aftermath has it, but a first step, the scientists have also confirmed the association between dietary acrylamide much with risk of breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma.

So far not yet had any method to completely eliminate acrylamide out of food. But you can reduce the amount of toxins by some of the following methods:

-For high risk foods such as potato chips, bread, biscuits, cakes, pies, shrimp bulging ..., when absolute processing does not get too old, don't eat the burnt portion because this portion of the acrylamide concentration. Do not FRY or Grill many times. Should not eat too many foods that have high risk at the same time.

-Particularly for potatoes, sliced and soaked in water should be from 15 to 30 minutes before frying. Should not the preservation of potatoes in the refrigerator because this will increase the amount of sugar in the sweet potatoes, leading to increased acrylamide when processing.=
