Hmmm... I like the taste of burnt toast with butter, and I don't mind burnt marshmallows and other burnt foods. I guess it's a good thing bread is expensive, so I rarely buy it, and I haven't had a s'more in probably 10 years, but mmm.... they're so good! I love barbecue. But, I think since I seldom eat the burned foods they discuss in the article, I'm likely fine, but it's good to keep it in mind. I've been hearing about charred food causing cancer for years.

This post reminds me that, as children, my siblings and I were told by our dad, in his gruff Navy voice, that eating burned toast puts "hair on your chest" but I don't think that's true, since I hardly have any! Perhaps he was talking to my brothers.

“soaking cut potatoes in hot water for 10 minutes can reduce their acrylamide formation by almost 90%”, but I imagine the chips would not be very crispy.

It’s a good article; thanks for sharing.
