    Me thinks its fair to say that just about everything gives you cancer these days (by that i mean it contributes to an increased risk) It's pointless worrying about it, they're generally just trying to scare us into buying stuff. Feckin CNN

    Read that somewhere too. Apparantly anything that is deep fat fried is cancerous... something called "acrylamide" is the cancerous substance.
    But according to doctors, what isn't cancerous nowadays???
