Seems to me that if you cook food properly to release the flavours and aromas then it is bad for you but it you make a half hearted attempt to cook for then that's fine. Typical of life ain't it. Whatever you like is bad for you.
Burnt toast has been known for years but not browned. And what about the biscuits, cakes, chips, roast potatoes ?
(I have occasionally wondered why burnt toast was supposed to be so bad yet carbon tablets recommended to ease wind.)
Well, I think I'll take my chances until they come up with a way to allow food to be cooked properly yet neutralise the possible risks.

This is from Cancer Research's Website:~
And finally
It’s highly unlikely that “EU health chiefs” are saying “toast gives you cancer” – despite what the Mail Online says. The article focuses on a chemical called acrylamide – which can form in burnt toast – and has been shown to cause cancer in mice. But the important caveat that’s missing is that the doses used in these studies were in huge excess of what might be found in food, suggesting it’s unlikely burnt toast will cause cancer.

The only way to get proof, (and that wouldn't even be conclusive) would be to get a large number of people to totally abstain from toast for their entire lives, and a similar sized group to eat lots of burnt toast every day for their lives, and see what results.
With the link between smoking and cancer we already had large groups of users and abstainers, and even then it took a long time to make the connection

Yesterday we really enjoyed our roast veg. platter - potatoes, parsnips, carrots and cauli. and I fully intend to carry on cooking it! No, I did not turn carefully to avoid brown bits! This sort of nanny-state-ism makes me want to cook it every day - I used lard as well, because I'd run out of goose-fat. Mr. J2 is 83 - and my dad lived until 90, telling me that really burnt toast was charcoal which was good for the digestion. Back in the 70's someone found that lettuce was carcinogenic, too.
