the claim
Eating burnt food increases the risk of developing cancer
the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
confidence 29/100

The claim that eating burnt food increases cancer risk remains contested; while laboratory and some epidemiological studies link charred-food contaminants like acrylamide and heterocyclic amines to certain cancers, large prospective human cohorts and meta-analyses often find no consistent association.
