Epidemiological studies have shown inconsistent associations between dietary acrylamide exposure and the risk for various malignancies. This is the first epidemiological study on the association between acrylamide intake and the risk for cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). A case-cohort analysis was carried out within the prospective Netherlands Cohort Study on diet and cancer. Acrylamide intake was estimated from a food frequency questionnaire combined with acrylamide data for Dutch foods. After 17.3 years of follow-up, 501 microscopically confirmed cases of CMM were identified. There was an increased risk for CMM when dietary acrylamide was modeled as a continuous variable [hazard ratio: 1.13 (95% confidence interval: 1.01-1.26)] per 10 μg increment among men but there was no clear linear trend over the quintiles (Ptrend=0.12). No associations were observed for women. Our study provides some indications that dietary acrylamide may increase the risk for CMM in men.

Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) is consumed traditionally and is known to possess health-promoting effects. In this research, application of Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) at levels of zero, 1 and 2 % w/w was investigated in the production of biscuit as a widely consumed snack and some characteristics of dough and biscuit samples were evaluated. By adding EAP and increasing its level, water absorption values and dough stability increased (p < 0.

Acrylamide is a food contaminant formed during high-temperature cooking processes, leading to unintentional human exposure. Diet is the primary source for non-smokers, with potatoes, cereals, and coffee being the main contributors. While animal studies have demonstrated that acrylamide is neurotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and cardiotoxic, its effects on human cardiovascular health remain poorly understood.

Acrylamide (AA) has raised concerns throughout the world in recent years because of its potential negative effects on human health. Numerous researches on humans and animals have connected a high dietary exposure to AA to a possible risk of cancer. Additionally, higher consumption of acrylamide has also been associated with dysfunctioning of various organ systems from nervous system to the reproductive system.

Article Synopsis
- This study measured acrylamide levels in traditionally brewed Ethiopian coffee varieties from regions including Jimma and Sidama.
- Acrylamide concentrations varied among coffee types, with the highest levels found in Hararge and Nekemte, while brewed coffee showed significantly lower concentrations for both first and second brews.
- Daily acrylamide intake from coffee was well within safe limits, though some concerns were noted for Nekemte coffee in specific areas, suggesting a need for strategies to reduce acrylamide levels to protect health.

Because bread can contain potential carcinogens such as acrylamide, and is widely consumed, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether bread consumption is associated with increased cancer risk. PubMed and Medline databases were searched up to 1 March 2024, for studies that provided hazard ratios (HRs) (or similar) for bread consumption and cancer incidence or mortality. Only prospective cohort studies were included.
