For the reasons that you set out. It's fairly straightforward.
- refurb 5y agoSo you’re for banning almost all foods that brown through baking this form acrylomide, a known carcinogen?
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoI'm for banning uncontrolled infliction of that and other carcinogens on one's neighbours, yes.
- refurb 5y agoSay bye bye to BBQ grills and any sort of frying then!
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoBye bye.
- dekhn 5y agonobody has demonstrated that bread acrylamide poses a true risk to public health.
- refurb 5y agoThat’s my point. OP has already said “no carcinogens” flat out
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y ago"no carcinogens flat out" is an obvious straw man mis-characterisation, but neither can we dismiss small effects over many people and over time. This comment gets it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29193928 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29193928
