    It’s actually quite funny to see that Acrylamide classification as a CMR compound, which stands for carcinogenic, mutagen and reprotoxic is much pointed out, as well as the rest of its toxicity, on the French Wikipedia page of the compound but on the English page it’s more debatable.
    Still, as a scientist you have to be careful before spreading the kind of information that may possibly mislead people when the information is not completely based on several studies or when studies say “further researches are needed“
    Another thing is that even if acrylamide is carcinogenic does not mean it is good for your health

    Actually, I'm not very sure about these. The first two probably are fine, but the third one, especially on plastic, U of California just released a warning ("Why you need to STOP microwaving plastic") clip a week ago. It's not exactly about cancer, but saying no chemicals released into the food is not correct--a large amount of microplastics are indeed released into the food. You can UA-cam the title to find the clip.

      Also, for burnt meat, the chemicals are HCAs and PAHs, both are associated with cancer, according to UCLA Health.

      How valid is it to give the null hypothesis that "no chemicals are released". Won't it be more scientific to say that they had not been able to find the evidence that any chemicals are released. I am deeply sceptical about the validity of the third hypothesis.

      I agree with you on microwaves and microplastics. Microplastics even enter food from just regular packaging that hasn't been heated. The microplastic is "phthalates". This microplastic is in virtually every plastic packaging. Now imagine what happens when you heat plastic.

    When it comes glucose/sugar and plastics they can cause and raise the risk of inflammation, which *can* raise the risk of and even cause cancer, impact your immune system, and etc but the risk is low and/or dependent on the individual. More so, consistent and regular use vs occasional or even rare consumption is a major factor too.
    Smoking for example causes inflammation and other chemicals can directly damage DNA in our lungs leading to cancer, but some individuals just don’t get it while others who don’t smoke can still lung cancer (such as men with breast cancer). Athletes can and do still get diabetes. At the end of the day it’s all about risk, with different classes easing and associated with increased risk.

      Do you have evidence to back up your opinion? From what I could find out in the case of sugar it is a question of consuming excess calories in the form of sugar that causes cancer but that could apply to other foods. There is no credible evidence that mobile phones cause cancer. Some studies suggest burnt food may cause cancer but the evidence is weak.

      Why do ya think so? It would be more helpful to provide insight on why you are skeptical with some explanation as to why. The only thing I may disagree with them on is microwaving and that's because of microplastics.

      Out of the blue? In which way cancer is a recent thing? And sugar? It has been years of people saying that sugar is poison.
      If this is the first time you have heard of sugar blamed for cancer (and for many bad things on the planet), you haven't been paying attention, and that's all the conspiracy that is.
      I highly recommend you the channel Tasting History with Max Miller, which has a couple of well-researched videos on sugar history; you'll see it has caused many evils you haven't heard about. The other recommendation is the channel SciShow. Its main host, Hank Green, was diagnosed with cancer, had his treatment, and is currently cancer-free. As a science communicator, Mr. Green has made a bunch of videos about cancer, including the sugar-cancer relationship, both in the main channel as in his own channel: hankchannel, and the one he shares with his brother, writer and activist John Green: vlogbrothers.
      You may find out that, if your first idea to explain anything is "conspiracy!" you don't know enough about the subject. Good luck.

      This is a HEALTH forum and NOT a religious forum. Let me guess, you are a Jehovah Witness or a Morman. You want everyone to look at YOU and say how holy but remember
      And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
