Official website News reported that coffee contains acrylamide, which can cause cancer. Is it true?/You don't say.

This is not true. You can go to the official WeChat account that has been smiling and healthy to read some articles. The so-called possible carcinogen in coffee is called acrylamide. According to the classification of IRAC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), it belongs to Class 2A carcinogen which may cause cancer to human beings, and belongs to the same category as Class 2A carcinogen. In addition, eating red meat, such as pigs, cattle and mutton, is actually a kind of 2A carcinogen.

But! Importantly, acrylamide is very common in our daily diet, and coffee is not the main source at all.

As long as food raw materials are rich in carbohydrates and protein, Maillard reaction will occur after high-temperature frying (> 120℃) and high-temperature barbecue.

The fried dough sticks and twists we often eat are all fried with flour and have acrylamide. In fact, a large number of foods may contain acrylamide. The yellower, the brown and the burnt, the higher the content, and far more than a cup or two of coffee.

We usually say that we should eat less French fries and fries and less fried barbecue, more because they are generally high in calories and single in nutrition, rather than mainly because of acrylamide.

If you really want to say that there is something wrong with drinking too much acrylamide in coffee, then you have eaten so many other things for so many years. How to calculate?

Even if coffee contains acrylamide, it doesn't mean that drinking coffee will cause cancer.
