Good posts so far, but also high temperature cooking, especially frying, creates a chemical called acrylamide. There was a bit of a furor about it in the early 2000’s, it may cause cancer in high quantities. [The FDA doesn’t seem too worried about it.](https://www.fda.gov/food/process-contaminants-food/acrylamide-questions-and-answers)
