Can burnt toast cause cancer? A doctor explains the complicated science
Everything causes cancer! Lol.

Ironically, it may have ben the thermal treatment of food that helped us grow brains large enough to consider that the thermal treatment of food might cause us harm.The "thermal treatment of food … produces harmful substances and toxic compounds like Maillard reaction products, furan, heterocyclic aromatic amines, acrylamide, acrolein, and trans fatty acids. These toxic compounds are considered as carcinogenic, mutagenic, genotoxic, and teratogenic properties and are a concern from a human health risk point of view." — Nutritional and Toxicological Aspects of the Chemical Changes of Food Components and Nutrients During Heating and Cooking
Invalid Link Removed're saying, "This is still a challenge for food scientists because of the complexity of foods as reactive dynamic systems where complicated reactions take place, especially at high temperatures."
When we were kids, we turned our noses up at bread crust. Tasted like …. So, who were the smart ones?
Thank you, mummy dearest
Toast lightly, live longer.

Not sure that I would like a Tuna Noodle Casserole that needs an oil change in the middle of the meal...I've done that a hundred times when I was in construction. The first time as a joke, then what we cooked turned out so good, we did it more often.
