No
At least don't burn it and eat it. As you are increasing your risk of cancer.
It would seem that it (acrylamide) has a negative ( carcinogenic) effect on animals, and the experts think that it *may* have a similar effect on humans.

A chemical known as acrylamide which forms from sugars, water and amino acids when they are heated together at high temperatures in a process known as the Maillard reaction. The higher the temperature, and the longer the heating time, the higher the levels of acrylamide.

What ever next Eh?
 
what about crumpets i like eating crumpets :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
When I heard the latest load of medical claptrap (as doctored and pedalled by the media) I decided to have a celebratory breakfast.

Bacon (burned to such a crisp that it shattered into a thousand pieces when touched by a fork)
Sausages (burned black on the outside )
Egg (underside burned has hard as leather)

I usually have a well fired roll, but I had two this morning.
 
The stress, of avoiding all these types of things, will kill me :p:D

I can go with most of that, but I do like my eggs white on the outside, and yellow in the middle, don't like crunchy eggs,
now, crunchy bacon is a different matter altogether :thumbs:

Re the mention (on the radio) that the same applies to "well cooked" roast spuds, causing cancer,
a guy phoned in worried that he was on 20 a day and where could he get the "weaning off" patches ? :D
 
Toast has been getting made for 1000s of years and their just worrying about it now, dont eat roast tatties or crispy bacon ...FFS have these FSA bods got nothing better to do with their time. Jeezo, they will have us eating plain flavourless crap and walking about as skinny as garden rakes.
 
Whatever you do, don't catch LIFE. It's a sexually transmitted condition that has (so far) shown to result in certain DEATH. If you already have the condition, enjoy it - it can be fun!

Its all part of the master plan to turn us all vegetarian, until they discover this 5 a day thing was all wrong too. :D

Is that 2nd time round, ?
I thought you and the rest of MK might be out celebrating tonight
 
I don't know why this has made the news today, they were saying the exact same thing at least 10yrs or more ago. Same has been said about barbequed food too, something to do with the fat falling onto the hot coals.

I was going to post something like that saying it's all a conspiracy by all veggies and vegans to eat rabbit food only, if they get their way the planet will be overrun by too many coos and sheep and poultry, there would probably be a sudden upsurge in the sales of welly boots for the Aberdeenshire folk

I recall hearing the same thing years back - don't overcook anything or have any burnt/crispy bits.

Is there some major news that needs burying?

That's what I thought when I heard this. I also recall at the time a number of comments that food has been well cooked/a bit burnt for many hundreds of years, if not longer, and we probably would have seen the effects already.

If you actually read the article, you'll see that it's full of could, probably, potentially, might etc.. Today's health risk is tomorrow's superfood!

And that was covered by my opening (2nd) line :p
 
Dunno about all you lot BUT as a child [ many many years ago :( ] I was told that if you did burn the toast you had to scrape the black off before you ate it

And I still do that to this day :D

edit, in the absence of a dog to feed it to :D
 
Glad it wasn't just me then - showed our parents umpty years ago did have some sense :)



Dogs do have their uses :D
 
Well - our boxer didn't live to that age and nor did the spotty one either so I'm not sure of the correlation between burnt toast eating canines and cancer .

Neither of our hounds ate toast - burnt or otherwise :D
