A Systematic Review on Association between Dietary Acrylamide and Cancer Risk

Acrylamide is a yellowish, odorless solid that is water-soluble and is used in a variety of organic solvents and organic chemical compounds. It is used as a precursor or substitute for water-soluble thickeners in a variety of applications. It is very toxic and hence carcinogenic, and it is administered as a watery solution. Aside from exposure to the industry and cigarettes, food appears to be the most common source of human exposure. Cancer has remained the second-leading cause of death, with a global increase in the number of cases. Increasing the cancer burden necessitates the use of cancer preventive methods. Because of the present results of several future investigations, specialists have conducted a new meta-analysis on the usage of acrylamide-related illness incidence in various areas. Authors discovered 32 publications on their own. The researchers conducted a meta-analysis utilizing corrected or spontaneous modeling, based on the heterogeneous method, to assess the overall chance for each cancer site for highest versus lowest consumption levels, including an increase in nutritional acrylamide by 10 mg/day. Acrylamide has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a human category 2A carcinogen, based on evidence of acrylamide carcinogenicity in animals.
