Burnt food cancer warning

 

By Emily Cook 4/12/2007

Eating fried, grilled or roasted food raises the risk of ovarian and womb cancer, a huge 11-year study has shown.
Scientists are concerned about the substance acrylamide, produced when food is browned, toasted or burnt.
Non-smoking women in the highest category of acrylamide exposure were twice as likely to suffer the cancers than someone in the lowest group.
