Dark chips cause cancer, say researchers
Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) are confident they can confirm what many have long claimed: the darker the chip, the more likely
it is to contain high concentrations of acrylamide – a chemical that is linked to cancer risk. All chips begin to create acrylamide when fried, but
the concentration is highest in the darker ones.
