Aloo Tikki and Burnt Toast Cause Cancer? No Kidding, Says UK Study

The highest concentrations of acrylamide were measured in potato snacks (360 µg/kg) and that’s very scary.

Okay, so first up, this medical shocker of a study has not been conducted in India. It is a food-related study about cancer-risks and it comes from the UK. But the C word is being mentioned. And my very Indian family in India needs to be told that what they are eating could be a trigger for some types of cancer.
