Same here in Ireland! Sounds like an interesting book, as I remember vaguely to have read something similar a good while ago (I don't remember what and how they measured it, though). Will have to look up that book! (Just remembered that fried potatoes (chips/french fries and the like) do contain the highly carcinogenic acrylamide (the darker they get, the more they contain), and should ideally be fermented before being fried (if at all), or, at least be consumed with a high amounts of antioxidants (Vitamin C, superfoods...).
