One thing that stands out in this article:

The research carried out at Stockholm University in cooperation with experts at Sweden's National Food Administration, a government food safety agency, showed that heating of carbohydrate-rich foods, such as potatoes, rice or cereals formed acrylamide, a much studied substance classified as a probable human carcinogen .

Not that it is....but it could be.

More shock media perhaps? Why not say cooking any food is bad for us. I mean eating char'ed meat has the same effect.

Should we all start eating raw whole foods and stop cooking altogether?

Things to ponder
