Better think twice before you grab for those chips

To determine the potential health risks from the consumption of acrylamide in potato chips, a daily dose, in micrograms per day, was calculated from the analytical results. Published studies estimating various daily food consumption rates for potato chips ranged from 4 grams per day (approx. 0.1oz. or 2 chips) to 41 grams per day (approx. 1.5 oz. or 25 chips). The FDA-recommended serving size for potato chips, which is based on daily consumption estimates, is 1 ounce or 28 grams (which, for most manufacturers, is roughly 17 chips)2. This consumption rate (28 grams/day) was multiplied by the average acrylamide concentration in each product to calculate the number of micrograms of acrylamide ingested per day.

This analysis found that every potato chip product tested contained between 39 and 910 times more acrylamide than the Prop 65 warning threshold currently allows. According to this analysis, each of the products tested requires a warning about cancer risk from acrylamide.

Get back to P&N where you belong. 😉

Most likely you'll die of some rare disease/cancer before I even go to the hospital for my first major surgery.

At least they don't contain high levels of dihydrogen monoxide. The soda you drink with them does though.

As well as 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 - 55 mg of caffeine and artificial color and sulfites.

You completely missed the point of the post. 😀

True, I really need to cut back on my Coke intake and switch to filtered water, even though the dihydrogen monoxide content is even higher 😉

Someone posted in Off-Topic about losing a lot of weight over a couple of months (something like 2 LBs a week) just from cutting out all the sodas.

It sounds possible.

Soda is also linked with osteoporosis and heart disease, and obviously it will rot your teeth.
