Acrylamide has no link to brain cancer: study

Dietary intakes of acrylamide are not related to increased risks of brain cancer, says a new study from Maastricht University in the Netherlands.

Acrylamide intake, at levels commonly consumed in the Dutch diet, had no impact on the risk of brain cancer, according to findings of a study with 58,279 men and 62,573 women in the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer published in theCancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers &Prevention.

“In this prospective cohort study, acrylamide intake was not associated with brain cancer risk,” wrote the researchers.
