> However, a large number of epidemiologic studies (both case-control and cohort studies) in humans have found no consistent evidence that dietary acrylamide exposure is associated with the risk of any type of cancer (9, 14).

not "no evidence" though. my general point over all of my comments on this question is that many "studies" are of doubtful significance - including burnt toast.
