Acrylamide is produced during roasting of coffee beans in high temperatures. Numerous studies have shown coffee to be a significant dietary source of acrylamide. In adult diet, coffee may deliver up to 39% of the total daily intake of this substance. A study by Mojska et al., found that one cup of coffee contained on average 0.45 μg of acrylamide. A lot of animal studies have shown that acrylamide is carcinogenic. Finally, in 1994 acrylamide was evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as “probably carcinogenic to humans” . Nevertheless, epidemiological studies and retrospective re-analyses of data published so far failed to provide sufficient evidence that dietary acrylamide increases the risk of any type of cancer in humans, including kidney, large bowel, bladder, oral cavity, breast, and ovarian cancer
