16. Potato Chips
Potato chips may contain a chemical called acrylamide, which is formed when certain foods are cooked at excessively high temperatures. Cooking methods can include frying, baking or roasting.
Acrylamide is a combination of amino acids and sugars naturally found in foods. According to research, it may be carcinogenic to humans. It can be found in plant products, particularly potatoes and grains fried or roasted at high-temperature cooking. To limit any potential risk, eat potato chips and French fries in moderation as part of a healthy diet.
