So, I'm uneducated in this matter. Let me do a bit of googling, because your comment implies two things >Acrylamide is known to cause cancer >Coffee apparently contains (significant) amounts of acrylamide The first thing I come across, as usual, is Wikipedia [1]. The summary says: >As of 2018 it is still not clear whether acrylamide consumption affects people's risk of developing cancer. It provides two sources [2][3], from the Cancer Research UK and the US National Cancer Institute. The abstract of [2] implies that animal studies show some interaction with DNA, but fairly conclusively says: >[E]vidence from human studies has shown that, for most cancer types, there is no link between acrylamide and cancer risk. Some studies have suggested a higher risk of womb cancer, but the evidence is weak and inconsistent, so we can’t be sure if this link is real. The other source [3] is a bit of a more informal FAQ style, and poses the question "Is there an association between acrylamide and cancer?" Again, I see the implication of animal studies possibly showing real links between cancer and the substance, yet >a large number of epidemiologic studies (both case-control and cohort studies) in humans have found no consistent evidence that dietary acrylamide exposure is associated with the risk of any type of cancer Can you explain your comment, and especially the last sentence you provide? My search was extremely cursory, but I would be fairly confident that if it's too strong a claim to say this substance doesn't cause cancer, I could at least conclude that saying >[T]he state is proposing a rule contrary to its own scientific conclusion is patently false.
