ACRYLAMIDE EFFECT

Biznerati has found out the health effects associated with eating french fries frequently.Are you addicted to fries?Its about that time you stop
from taking them frequently if you want to live a healthy life.Here is how it all started.
Acrylamide was discovered accidentally in foods in April 2002 by scientists in Sweden when they found the chemical in starchy foods,
such as potato chips (potato crisps),French fries,and bread that had been heated higher than 120 °C (248 °F) (production of acrylamide in the heating process was shown
to be temperature-dependent). [11] It was not found in food that had been boiled[11][12] or in foods that were not heated.[SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

     So what is acrylamide??Acrylamide is a
chemical compound.Its physical properties include white,odourless and crystalline solid,its solube in water. However,acrylamide decomposes thermally to produce carbon monoxide and carbon(II)oxide. The fact that it produces those two poisonous gases is enough reason to raise
eyebrows.High levels of acrylamide in the body can be harmful to health.This is how acrylamide enters
your body.An amino acid naturally found in vegetables such as potatoes .In potatoes,its
highly concentrated.Now when potatoes are heated to higher temperatures,acrylamide is
formed.When one consumes the cooked potato acrylamide enters the system.When one continues
eating potatoes from monday to friday,the levels of acrylamide increases and this can be harmful
to your body.Take for example In the event acrylamide decomposes thermally in the body system,carbon(II)oxide is emitted and this can lead to suffocation which then leads to death.

NB:This applies to the potatoes or natural vegetables that have been exposed to high temperatures through frying and others
methods.Take care of your health.
