Acrylamide is one of hundreds of chemicals known as Maillard reaction products (MRPs) formed when foods are heated at high temperature with dry heat. Acrylamide has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen (probably carcinogenic to humans) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). To reduce your exposure to acrylamide, cook starchy foods like turnips and sweet potatoes mostly in stews or soups because cooking in water prevents acrylamide formation. When you bake or roast vegetables, do not allow them to brown. Increasing the water content helps--soaking starchy foods in water before roasting reduces acrylamide formation. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman

Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar can cause dramatic problems for your teeth, yet they can be great for health and boosting your immune system.

This pattern of eating allows you freedom to eat any food safely, but you always end the meal with a tooth-protective food. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
