Skip the Prune Juice and Olives?
Disease Proof: Acrylamides Found in Prune Juice and Olives
Acrylamide, a cancer-causing substance that caused scares when it was found in fried potatoes and other popular foods, is also found in olives and prune juice, U.S. regulators reported recently. Relatively high levels were also found in arrowroot cookies, commonly given to small children as teething biscuits. Peanut butter, cookies, and fried chicken were also sources.
That throws a new wrinkle (sorry!) in the prune debate.
