More often it means someone burned some toast.

Anyway, I don't give much thought to health warnings in general. I think if my grandparents ate something all their lives the chances of it killing me are probably not that great.

I'm guessing people who like burnt toast are also toilet roll scrunchers.

I don't understand the attention this is getting in the media? Everything you could ever possibly do has been reported to give you cancer at some point or another. I don't understand why people care. We're all going to die at some point so if you like toast, eat toast. If the toast doesn't give you cancer, something else will. Just enjoy life and then die.

I find articles like this hard to take seriously when they don't even reveal any basic data. How much of an increased risk are they talking about here?

They haven't revealed that because they don't know. They know this chemical leads to an increase in rates of cancer in mice, another mammal, commonly used in pre human medical trials, and they know that burning starchy foods creates more of this chemical. They really don't have any more data than that when it comes to how this might affect humans.

The only way to get a more accurate estimate would be to carry out experiments with control groups, where a group of people are intentionally fed increased amounts of a chemical which is suspected to cause cancer. No ethics body in the world would approve that.

They'd also need to control for all the other massive range of variables there are that affect an individuals chance of developing cancer, and putting out a single percentage figure for the increase in risk, would only end up with it being inaccurate for the majority of the population.

What's the increased risk for mice and how much of the stuff are they consuming for that increased risk?

Burnt Toast Man sounds like the worst superhero ever. I would like to know who his greatest foe is, though.

Frozen Butter Man.

I remember about 25 years ago, there was a study saying tomato sauce could give you cancer. My mum and grandad are pissing themselves at it, making sandwiches full of tomato sauce and going, "haha just having a CANCER SANDWICH!!! :lol:

"

Tomatoes

You just reminded me of this:

Ren & Stimpy was so bloody strange, watching it as a kid probably explains my mental state as an adult.

Haha, brilliant stuff, Ironhide :lol:

. I never saw much of the TV series but I do have a Powdered Toast Man comic tucked away somewhere :toot:

.

I rewatched a few episodes a while back, can't believe Nickelodeon actually aired it as it was completely nuts and at times a little disturbing.

was about to post that Ironhide :lol:

Ren & Stimpy :wub:

What the strawberry float man. Why does he fly backwards. Why does he shoot croutons out of his armpits. Why is his tongue a phone.

How the strawberry float did they come up with this gooseberry fool. I'll never know. :lol:
