A food additive, AF-2,2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl) acrylamide, was first demonstrated to be mutagenic in Escherichia coli WP-2 and then proved to be carcinogenic in experimental animals. [1]
"Acrylamide probably constitutes a higher human risk than HCAs since the intake is about a 100- to 1000-fold higher than the intake of HCAs [2]
