Sweden finds there is carcinogen while processing food in the high temperature
The national food administration bureau of Sweden holds the press conference and announces here on the 24th, some ordinary food contains more generous carcinogen acrylic amide after processing the high temperature. However, some experts here think, this one warns that still lacks essential scientific evidence, some sensationalism. It is introduced, a research group of lecturers of Sweden Stockholm university Margarita and Turnquist and her leader's finds through testing, some ordinary food, it is the carbohydrate food at first, frying in the process will produce carcinogen acrylic amide of content to bake when the high temperature is processed, and with processing the rising of the temperature, the higher its content is. If acrylic amide have the highest content in the oily chrisps, per kilogram of average content is up to 980 micrograms, the average content in per kilogram of oily French fries is up to 410 micrograms too. In addition, contain 280, 160 micrograms of and 150 micrograms of acrylic amide in each kilogram biscuit, hard bread, oatmeal and cornflakes on average respectively. Even contain 50 micrograms of acrylic amide in per kilogram of soft bread on average too. Can seldom find acrylic amide in the raw food and ordinary food that cooks, even have, its content is low difficultly to measure. The experts of the national food administration bureau of Sweden are after receiving researchers' report of Stockholm university, also gauged relevant food, and obtain the same result. For this reason, Sweden, supreme food management organization determines to make the result of study known publicly, in order to cause people's vigilance. This organization studies and develops gram of fields lying fallow in rotation Booth of the department head and say, unexpectedly contain so much toxin in the ordinary food in the potato, can be felt " Shocked" . He says, calculated by the Swede's eating habit at present, each adult should take in about 40 micrograms of acrylic amide through the food every day on average. And according to standard that World Health Organization make, each adult acrylic amide quantity that take in should not exceed 1 microgram in water every day. According to the test so far done on animal, acrylic amide is considered to be a kind of carcinogen. The expert of the Swedish food administration bureau estimates, several hundred example cancers may have something to do with taking in too much acrylic amide every year at present in Sweden. However, it really has great danger on human body why the chemical reaction takes place and acrylic amide and acrylic amide emerge when the high temperature is processed for the ordinary food, the scientist is still not clear at present. So the intersection of Sweden and to announce above-mentioned move of research results hold the attitude criticized some famous organization expert. Some expert said, it is an important discovery to contain too high acrylic amide in the ordinary food, clear acrylic amide what loud harmfulness there is finally, only according to the next one causing a sensation " much too early " of conclusion of experimental result of animal at present . It is reported, Swedish national food administration bureau has already determined to organize the national famous expert to carry on special research, in order to solve the ordinary food to produce difficult problems such as acrylic amide and harmfulness to the human body of acrylic amide,etc. when the high temperature is processed. The national food administration bureau of Sweden has already notified the result of study of Sweden to European Union, World Health Organization and other international food organizations, cause the great attention of World Health Organization, it determines to hold emergency meeting once in Sweden on this question.
