#2. You might have never guessed that your favorite bag of chips can increase your risk for cancer. According to the American Cancer Association, a chemical called acrylamide that appears in processed foods has carcinogenic properties and can lead to a variety of cancers.
This comes as terrible news for chip lovers—potato chips contain high levels of this chemical, and they present a very direct avenue through which many people consume acrylamide. You might assume that there’s no way potato chips could present the same dangers as a high-risk carcinogen like nicotine, but don’t be fooled! Both cigarette smoke and potato chips contain this carcinogen, making a threat to your health very immediate and apparent.
