Acrylamides and The Importance of Eating Healthy
Acrylamides are Primarily Found in Starchy Foods that Have been Cooked at High Temperatures.The importance of eating healthy and staying away from these toxins is essential to staying healthy.
When sugars like glucose or fructose and free asparagine (an amino acid) are present in foods and then subjected to high temperatures a "browning reaction" is created and so are these toxins. These toxins are more likely to be found in any foods that contain starch and are baked, fried, grilled or roasted. Potatoes that have been fried probably contain the highest amount.

How to Lower Your Levels
- Lower your consumption of cooked starchy foods
- Eat more raw foods, there really are no detectable levels found in raw foods
- Toast bread to a light brown color rather than dark brown
- Boiling, steaming, or stewing your food produces very little amounts
- Buy Sun-Dried coffee instead of roasted coffee
- Frequently turn your food during grilling in order to avoid charring your food
- Adding antioxidants such as rosemary to foods and drinking tea have proven to reduce levels
- Cook food to a golden brown color instead of dark brown
- Cooking with honey and similar syrups will probably produce higher levels than using brown or white sugar, so don't cook with honey
- Baking breads with prolonged yeast fermentation reduces the formation of these deadly toxins
- Remove the crust from your breads
