Acrylamide, a highly toxic chemical used in the manufacture
of plastics, is known to cause nerve damage. It became the focus of media

the results of a study that found foods cooked to temperatures more than
248ºF (120ºC)—such as potato chips, French fries, breads and processed
cereals—all contain elevated levels of acrylamide.
