According to the latest [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/38713959 ]Toast Research[/url] it's going to kill me in the end! I can't imagine a world where I can only eat pale yellow toast!
What does STW think? How do you like your toast? Will you die from a toast related illness?
I sometimes intentionally char mine, smoke and everything...
Clearly I will die.
Put nutella on it for certain death..
The question is this: Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?
I feel you're probably more likely to die from choking on toast than the cumulative effects of it's burnt bits.
We've all gotta die sometime, is a life without simple pleasures really a life at all? 🙄

No, I'm a waffle man.

No - it said 'it[i] could[/i] cause cancer' it doesn't say how likely it is that[i] would [/i] cause cancer.
Tobacco [i]definitely[/i] causes cancer but you still have to give it a bloody good go.

How 'bout a muffin?
Ooooooh I'll have a tea cake please.
Well toasted Thanks 😯
Potatoes too 🙁

Are you suggesting not eating be an toast will make you immortal, because if so I reckon that's bigger news.
Potatoes too
Anything starchy that's heated to a high temperature. iDave diet FTW! 😉
No it's just the sort of bollocks that gives science a bad name. If you want sense read what spiegelhalter has to say.
I have brown bread toast, so difficult to judge it as golden or not. I'm now worried my desire to choose healthier bread varieties might actually be leading me into more risk.
I might need a bit of cake to help me over this.

As long as it isn't brown cake.....

Dont do it, cake will give you cancer too.
Is kale still ok? might have a snack on some kale. 😕
He said: "Even adults with the highest consumption of acrylamide would need to consume 160 times as much to reach a level that might cause increased tumours in mice.

So I could have 159 slices more toast for breakfast before it being a problem....

So, if I eat loads and loads of toast, I'll kill some mice? 😕
Seems like a Win-Win scenario.
I've been pissing about with traps and poison all this time.

According to quick Google kale is poisonous and will cause your eyes to fall out if prepared incorrectly*
*some of the above may be exaggerated

If you had a diet that consisted entirely of Nutella on burnt toast, followed by fridge-stored potatoes that have been roasted to within an inch of charcoal you might have a problem.
That problem is probably more likely to be scurvy and constipation than cancer, but you will have a problem.
You will die.
Whether it's the burnt toast, the #29 bus or the butler that does it? Only time will tell.
Well I feel much re-assured now...
...in fact I fancy some nice dark toast for lunch. Anyone else fancy a slice?

Blue?
This seems like very old news, we've known that burnt food is a potential cancer risk for years, if not decades.
To be fair to them it's not exactly the same, they have said that it's a different mechanism from that caused by overdone meat.
I suppose the difficulty is if it's a new, not very extensively studied, thing, it might be worth having that level of caution. From Spiegelhalter, it sounds like burnt toast is quite extensively studied, and is certainly not new.
People will start ignoring the government when they put out such ridiculous advice left right and centre.

We had noticed..... 😉
I knew that! Won't stack it with rum and cigs next time.
I'm pretty sure I remember Judith Hann going on about this in the 80s on some science programme or other. Meh.
The burnt toast and chips will kill you thing was being touted by the Daily Wail some years back, it's certainly not new.
Anyway, Cancer Research says that there are many other things that are far more likely to do you harm, and I think I'll take their advice, thank you.
Yes, you will die. It comes to us all in the end.

Lol'd pretty hard at this.
Regular intake of a hot bit of crumpet is my advice......

lovely bit of classic Red Dwarf there. As it happens, the voice of Talky Toaster was played by the actor who first played Kryten before Robert Llewellyn.
