For years, scientists have been trying to figure out a way to get a cancer-causing chemical known as acrylamide out of our french fries and potato chips. You see, acrylamide is not intentionally put into our food - it is the unintentional byproduct of the cooking process. Up until now it seemed as though there was no solution to this problem. Now, Health Canada is proposing to allow food manufacturers to put small amounts of a cancer-fighting drug known as asparaginase into french fries and potato chips and other similar foods to solve this problem. Apparently asparaginase reduces the production of acrylamide during the cooking process by as much as 90 percent. But is this really such a good idea?
Of course Health Canada is insisting that putting this anti-cancer drug into french fries and potato chips is perfectly safe. Health Canada is soliciting feedback from the public for a period of 75 days, and they say that they could implement this new program in six to eight months.
But what about the millions of people who have absolutely no desire to ingest any pharmaceutical drugs?
The truth is that reactions to pharmaceutical drugs kill thousands of times more people each year (Read More....)
