Will cooking meat patties on the stovetop produce Acrylamide or any other carcinogenic or neurotoxic chemical?!


Question: Will cooking meat patties on the stovetop produce Acrylamide or any other carcinogenic or neurotoxic chemical!?
If there is only minor blackening and the meat patties are simply cooked until well done, potentially, are any neurotoxic or carcinogenic fumes released during the cooking process!? And is anyone who is within proximity to register the odor of the cooking meat in danger of exposure!?

If so, will whatever exposure, if any occurs, be negligible, with the human body able to repel whatever small amounts of chemical exposure occurs, /or/ do the chemicals settle and accumulate in the organs, and persist there for decades!?

Ie, if meat patties are cooked in the kitchen, would the carcinogenic chemicals be contained in the odor that disperses throughout the household, or is the odor of the food itself completely harmless and only the direct fumes released in the kitchen be what has a harmful effect, if anything harmful is released at all!?

I'd like a knowledgeable answer, please, as opposed to some single word response saying either "yes" or "no!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

As a ranch cook for 50 years and a beef producer for half that long, I would already be very dead if beef of any sort caused any cancerous fumes to be discharged into the air even if it were burnt to a crisp as has happened a couple of times!.

The scientists did cause cancer in lab rats, but do you know how they feed a substance to lab rats!?!? That is the only thing the rats get to eat!! so of course either they will starve to death or get the cancer or what ever else!!.

None of my family has ever gotten any sort of cancer and my kitchen happens to be in the end of the Great Room!. My grandmother was cook there, my mother, and now myself!. It will come to one of my daughters one of these days!.

I wouldn't worry about a few fumes from cooking beef patties on a griddle on an open burner in an enclosed space!. I do steaks, burgers, and lots of other things on this griddle on the cook top on a daily basis!. Worry more about the toxic fumes from catalytic converters on vehicles instead!.

Note: I cannot find my website that addressed this!. It was on my old computer that got a virus!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
