Admit it. If you came into a realm that reflected me, you'd run. I see you horsefuckers and come straight at you. That is not a bubble.

Crispy French fries and crunchy potato chips were never health foods, what with all the calories, fat and salt. But consumers just got a reminder that there's one more thing to worry about when they indulge in such foods: a chemical called acrylamide that might cause cancer.For more than a decade, scientists have known that acrylamide forms when potatoes, cereal grains and some other plant foods are browned through frying, baking or roasting. That means it shows up in fries, chips, breakfast cereals, toasted bread, cookies, crackers and even coffee. Studies show the chemical can cause cancer in rodents at high doses. In humans, the cancer risk remains unclear, but health agencies around the world are concerned and calling for more study.Last week, the Food and Drug Administration took the latest step to address the potential risk when it released draft guidelines for the food industry. For example, FDA is urging potato growers to favor low-sugar varieties that produce less acrylamide and urging processors to decrease frying temperatures, tweak ingredients and avoid certain storage practices. Even cutting thicker fries and chips can help, FDA says.Though the guidelines will not be binding, many companies already are making such changes and developing new ways to reduce the chemical, says Beth Johnson, a registered dietitian who is a consultant to the Snack Food Association, Washington, D.C."This has been a large focus of the industry for many years," she says. "Lots of time and money has gone into it."Frozen potato makers have been particularly focused on reducing acrylamide, says Corey Henry, vice president of communications for the American Frozen Food Institute, McLean, Va. "Right now we are looking at the FDA guidance to see if there are opportunities to take additional actions," he says.Henry notes that manufacturers long ago added package instructions advising consumers and restaurant workers to cook frozen fries only to "a light golden color" because of acrylamide concerns.But no one is talking about eliminating acrylamide, which is in foods that make up 40% of calories in a typical American diet, according to the Grocery Manufacturers Association. The goal is to reach levels "as low as reasonably possible," Johnson says – without ending up with soft potato chips or other products consumers would not want.
everything causes or prevents cancer. eat more broccoli
I get the sand and the skull but not the flower.i guess you could say i'm a momento moron
The only way to prevent cancer is to stop your cells from dividing according to my Biology 101 class. We're all going to die one day, no matter how healthy you eat or how much you exercise.
Everything gives you cancer now.
Not long after I graduated, he had a heart attack and died. Basically, what I'm saying here is that your body is going to find a way to screw you over eventually.
The perks of diet and exercise, while not including immortality, are still pretty good.
