Diet and Exercise Planning: Acrylamide
Read more to find out why you should avoid acrylamide in your diet and exercise planning program.
Recently, a cancer promoting substance has been taking the diet and exercise planning world by storm. Acrylamide is a compound found in foods that are cooked at high temperatures (with or without fat). The nutrition community says that acrylamide is produced by frying, barbecuing, baking, and even microwaving. However, the most alarming information that I found was in the foods that we probably eat the most.
The safe limit of acrylamide in food is set at ten parts per billion. But the French fries and potato chips we consume have over 100 times this amount (Lays, Pringles, McDonalds, and Burger King)! As recommended in most diet and exercise planning routines, we need to eat more raw fruits and vegetables. Also, try to steam-fry or boil food rather than cooking on high heat.
